Raquel Kurpershoek en Maria de Fatima
With an interval in the middle, this show feels like a musical journey across the Iberian Peninsula. In the first half you’ll imagine yourself in Portugal, with the profound, melancholic sounds of Maria de Fátima’s pure fado. After the interval you travel through Spain with a refined mix of flamenco, Latin and jazz, performed by Raquel Kurpershoek.
Tapas Iberia is more than a concert; it’s a culinary and musical journey for the senses. A fusion of two musical worlds that complement each other perfectly and take you on an unforgettable experience, full of passion, elegance and musical virtuosity.
