AMSTERDAM-Nuestro Camino by Miki Maria Vos & Vicente Santiago

'Nuestro camino' stands for the musical flamenco path that flamenco dancer Miki María Vos and flamenco guitarist Vicente José Santiago have been walking together since 2015. This path leads along various flamenco styles such as Bulerías, Tangos, and Guajiras.

The starting point is Amsterdam, as Miki and Vicente first performed their first composition for dance and guitar there.

The path then leads via the Zambra and the Tangos to Granada, via the Taranto to the coast of Murcia, and then on to Barcelona and the Spanish Pyrenees.

'Nuestro camino uniquely shows the development and interplay' between flamenco guitar and dance.
