The Alma y Jaleo logo features a circular design with a deep blue background. On the right, a stylized profile of a woman with an orange face, black hair, and a red flower appears to be singing. The words “ALMA” (in cream), “Y” (in green), and “JALEO” (in red) curve around the circle.

Flamenco Meets Innovation at Alma y Jaleo Festival in Valladolid

Valladolid will host a new celebration of flamenco on November 22, 2025, when Alma y Jaleo takes over the Plaza de Toros de Arroyo Esfera. Running from 5:00 p.m. until midnight, the festival promises a dynamic mix of tradition and innovation, showcasing both established names and emerging voices.

The lineup includes Raule, known for mixing flamenco rhythms with pop influences; Kiki Morente, who carries forward the legacy of his father, Enrique Morente, with a fresh perspective; and Fraderita, a Madrid-based artist who pushes the boundaries of the genre through urban fusions. Local talent will also take the spotlight with singer Saray López Mendoza and a performance by the Escuela Castilla Cristina Redondo dance company.
