Cadencia Andaluza

CADENCIA ANDALUZA, was conceived by Carlos Bedoya, whose father was from Spain (La linea de la Concepción, Cádiz) and mother from Puerto Rico (Barranquitas).The show, that has dance, virtuoso instrumentalists, dance and percussion, transmits in a natural way the similarities and influences between the Spanish and Puerto Rican cultures. It offers international visitors a uniquely local experience. This is not a superficial montage for tourists: it is the best the Island has to offer proudly and joyously interpreting their art as they, as artists, believe it should be presented.
