When fans and critics talk about Valeria Montes, aka La Chispa (The Spark), they use words like “mesmerizing” and “beauty in motion.” Trained in her native Mexico, Spain and the U.S., La Chispa, a 2010 Kresge Artist Fellow, is known for her passionate and graceful interpretation of flamenco cante (song) and for the fireworks of her complex rhythmic zapateado (footwork). La Chispa presents her newest production, Duendeando, accompanied by some of the most renowned U.S. and Spanish flamenco artists and a stellar live band.
