Last Friday, Bodegas González Byass de Jerez hosted the presentation of the 43rd edition of the Lo Ferro International Flamenco Singing Festival, which will be held from July 24 to 30. The competition’s coordinator, Francisco Aparicio, showed off this year’s poster, the work of Aquila artist Pedro Juan Rabal, featuring the Golden Melon against a red background with white dots.
During the event, the first names of artists invited to this edition were also announced, such as Ezequiel Benítez and Capullo de Jerez. In addition, composer and guitarist Paco Cepero receives the Sebastián Escudero Award for Flamenco Excellence, for his contribution to flamenco art and the close relationship he maintains with Lo Ferro. It will be on the night of July 25 with the presence of maestro Antonio Fernández Díaz ‘Fosforito’. And the González Byass Winery receives the Sabor Flamenco Award, given to institutions that collaborate with the world of gastronomy.
The morning ended with a touch of cante by Antonio Haya ‘El Jaro’, winner of the Melón de Oro Prize 2022. In the evening, the organizers and flamenco people went to the La Bulería peña, which was twinned with the Melón de Oro flamenco peña .
