Rosario “La Tremendita” & Mohammad Motamedi: Qasida

The Qasida project is an extraordinary musical encounter between the young Spanish singer Rosario “La Tremendita” and her Iranian peer Mohammad Motamedi. Renowned for accompanying flamenco dancers Belén Maya, Rocío Molina, Rafaela Carrasco, and many others, “La Tremendita” explores the roots of flamenco in the richly varied poetic songs and improvisations of Motamedi, the young rising star of Persian classical music. They will be accompanied by six musicians on guitar, Iranian kemanche (a bowed string instrument), percussion, and palmas (hand clapping).

This performance is part of the Flamenco Festival 2016. Now celebrating its 15th year, the Flamenco Festival is dedicated to the powerful art of flamenco, featuring the finest dancers and musicians from Spain.
