Flamenco Sin Fronteras, from Seville is an internationalJennifer Ballesteros flamenco supergroup created in Seville in 1996. It tours Europe regularly with its 2 hour flamenco show (www.sin-fronteras.net). It presents the purest flamenco without musical limitation or taboo. Flamenco guitars blend stunningly with the cello and the bandoneon; a coarse gypsy singer alongside a celestial voice recreate the cante de ida y vuelta. Sin Fronteras plunges unforgettably into the deepest roots of the flamenco tradition, while remaining accessible to a modern audience. Sin Fronteras presents innovative flamenco art in a thrilling and compelling manner even for a non expert audience.

The CD "Sevilla" contains traditional Tangos de Triana, sang by veteran gypsy artist Curro Fernandez, cancion por bulerias, tangos Flamenco: Sin Fronterasflamencos played by guitar virtuoso Adam del Monte and percussionist Rubem Dantas (member of the Paco de Lucia sextet), Alegrias with dance and magnificient blues-flamenco singing by Rafael de Ronda, Rumba, Sevillanas antiguas, Farruca with the haunting sound of Argentinian bandoneon and cello, Colombianas with the amazing voice of cantaora Jennifer Ballesteros, and more.


SIN FRONTERAS also offers a visual spectacle, in which flamenco dance takes center stage. A traditional, joyous Alegrias is answered by a Farruca, danced with fervour by the young Spanish dancer Antonio Perujo, and accompanied by original flamenco music, created by the composers-musician that comprise SIN FRONTERAS. The heated rythms urge on the dance, and are led by veteran Sevillano Miguel Aragon, guitarist of choice by many noted flamenco artists such as Javier Baron, Juana Amaya, and Mario Maya, as well as being featured on many flamenco recordings.

Featuring major international flamenco artists of the old and the new generation: Curro Fernandez, Rafael de Ronda, Adam del Monte, Nicasio Moreno, Miguel Iglesias, Rubem Dantas etc. the flamenco orchestra Sin Fronteras has just released its first CD, "Sevilla".
