WITH: guest DJ Stevie 'Esteban', resident John Armstrong (pic), flamenco club dancer Ana Caton and belly dancer Alessandra

 

'What a night we had at Futuro Flamenco on Saturday 24 February! As well as several sets from resident DJ John Armstrong, and a great dance performance from ace nu-flamenco dancer Ana Caton, the amazing DJ Floro - exclusive and direct from Madrid - played a couple of the strongest flamenco/arabic/gypsy sets we've heard for a while. Later in the night, the debut from our crazy new belly-dancer Alessandra (from Brazil via Italy) got us all jealous - all our crowd suddenly wanted to have their photos taken with her on a seething stage while we skulked around in the background. When we finally wound up at 2, the place was still rammed. Thanks to all for making it a memorable night - and Floro will be back before long - promise.

John, Ana and Alessandra will, of course, be back, but this time they'll be joined by DJ Stevie 'Esteban' for a much-anticipated debut guest spot. One of the founder members of the DJ collectives Que Rico and Mas Rico, Stevie can currently be found at The End (Holborn/Covent Garden) on monthly Thursdays, where his mixed-gay latin party 'Latin Connection Discoteca' has gone from strength to strength in the last few months. Expect a heady mix of new flamenco beats, mestizo mash-ups and latino hip hop - and a special, newly-choreographed dance show from Ana around 10pm-ish.
