Manama, Aug. 3 (BNA): The one month long Bahrain Summer Festival themed (Bahrain Your Destination) is concluding tomorrow with a wonderful artistic voyage that transports audience into the heart of Andalusian Spain led by the inimitable singer and choreographer Luis de la Carrasca and his ensemble "Flamenco Vivo". Under his direction and guidance, the group, which is comprised of young French and Andalusian dance and music talents, made an indelible mark on the world stage over the past two decades by constantly breathing new life into this traditional Spanish art form, thereby realizing de la Carrasca’s vision of integrating it with dramatic and classical plays to create a truly mesmerizing and ever-evolving visual marvel. The festival hosted the Bahraini Mohammed Binfaris music band, and the Smurfs show. The festival hosted the Egypt's Art & Music Academy's band led by Najatt Al-Sagheera, in cooperation with the Egyptian embassy in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The festival also hosted Joanne Jabbour who rendered a selection of modern and classic Arabic and English hits.
