‘Like a hammer to let go of their sorrows.’ Venezuelan Siudy Garrido is a flamenco force
Venezuelan-born, Miami-based Siudy Garrido is a modernizing force in a historically Spanish-dominated art form. She performs this weekend in Aventura.
Flamenco is a revered Spanish art form — and since flamenco music and dance emerged in Andalusia more than 200 years ago, its most famous dancers have been Spanish, especially Romani Spanish.
Siudy Garrido is changing all that.

Garrido is one of the world’s most popular flamenco dancers today — and she is not a Spaniard. She was born and raised in Venezuela. In 2015, she moved her Siudy Garrido Flamenco Company to Miami, where she recently performed shows like “Bailaora” at the Adrienne Arsht Center and “Flamenco Intimo” in Doral. After dancing on Broadway last weekend, she returns here this weekend to take the stage in Aventura.
Garrido’s modernizing style has made for sold-out performances and critical praise. She spoke with WLRN Americas editor Tim Padgett about flamenco and her innovating effect on the genre.
