Two unforgettable nights in Valladolid
The theater surrendered to Marina Heredia over two consecutive concerts that both posted “sold out” signs. The connection between the cantaora and the symphonic ensemble was total, a musical dialogue that once again demonstrated flamenco’s ability to coexist with—and grow within—orchestral language. After the success in Valladolid, the artist is already looking ahead to her next international engagement with Manuel de Falla’s work in Philadelphia, where she will perform alongside the prestigious Philadelphia Orchestra.Moved by the audience’s reception, Marina highlighted the intensity of a year she describes as “an explosive mix,” combining symphonic concerts with flamenco recitals. El Amor Brujo, an essential work in her career, remains for her a constant challenge and an ongoing source of learning: a universal story that connects with audiences all over the world.
A 2026 Full of emotion
Following the Valladolid double bill, the En Libertad tour will continue in Andalusia. On March 7, the cantaora will perform at the Teatro de Atarfe (Granada), and on March 12 at the Teatro del Soho CaixaBank in Málaga. These dates add to a calendar that includes national and international stages, confirming the project’s global reach.
According to the artist herself, the rapport between Marina and the orchestras is key to the success of these concerts: sharing with the musicians the meaning of the lyrics and the legacy of the Gitano people creates a complicity that translates into emotion on stage. “We all get emotional,” she admits.
Crossing the Atlantic
Marina Heredia’s international agenda will once again take her to the United States. From February 2 to 7, she will perform El Amor Brujo in Philadelphia under the direction of Rafael Payare at Marian Anderson Hall. It is a new opportunity to bring flamenco to major classical circuits and to reinforce her role as an ambassador of Spanish music.
En Libertad. The Path of the Gitanos is not just an album—scheduled for release in the coming months—but a vital, timeless project. Conceived as a symphonic poem, it traces a musical journey through the Gitano diaspora from India to contemporary flamenco. With musical direction by Joan Albert Amargós and lyrics by José Quevedo “Bolita,” the project has already unveiled its first single, the rumba “Juan the Egyptian,” as well as a documentary capturing the creative process with the Granada City Orchestra.
In parallel, Marina Heredia continues to establish herself as one of the world’s leading interpreters of El Amor Brujo, taking Falla’s work to major international stages and bringing root flamenco closer to new audiences.
