In Sabicas’ hometown of Pamplona, a new festival has been created whose first edition includes major figures such as Sara Baras, José Mercé, Estrella Morente, Niña Pastori, Tomatito, Pepe Habichuela with Josemi Carmona, Arcángel and many others.

The festival takes its name, “Flamenco On Fire”, from a compilation released in 1999 of Sabicas’ work, and also includes shows such as 27 Generation Flamenca, Jóvenes Talentos Navarros, Carmen Amaya en la Memoria with Karime Amaya, Susana Casas, Belén López and El Junco, or the more adventuresome offerings of Tomasito, Kiko Veneno and Soleá Morenta with the Evangelistas.

The old city center of Pamplona will offer a gastronomic route called “El Pincho de Sabicas”, with the collaboration of the best hotels and restaurants the city has to offer with a special tapa inspired in Sabicas.

The venues for the shows are the Baluarte, with two stages, “Sabicas” and “Flamenco on Fire”, while other performances will take place at “La Ciudadela”, a 16th century fortress which will host the Festival’s closing galas.
