Rebeca continues to explore new artistic horizons, participating in projects that fuse flamenco with other forms of cultural expression, including her recent collaboration with the famous band “PATAX”; and in the production “KALASETU” in London, a show that integrated traditional flamenco art with classical Indian music and dance.
