Maria 'LA Chacha' Bermudez is one of the most renowned flamenco artists of our time. She has exposed audiences across the world to the unique style and sound of Jerez de la Frontera, Spain — the birthplace of Flamenco. Her outstanding performances have graced venues such as the Hollywood Bowl, Lope de Vega in Sevilla, Lincoln Center in New York, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
Locally she inspires the next generation of dancers at Maria Bermudez Flamenco Performing Arts. Learn more at mbflamenco.com.
