Peña Flamenca El Indalo

Damian Power

Director / Secretary

Damian was first introduced to flamenco in the late 90s, when his love of guitar led him to a show in Vicar St by a group of visiting Spanish artists. Although it was the guitar that originally drew his interest, it was the emotion and intensity of the singing and the passion and energy of the dancing that left the greatest impression. He was able to draw many parallels between the cante of flamenco and the sean nós singing of Irish tradition, but for the dance he had no comparison; it was unlike anything he had ever seen.

Nathalie Moyano González

Director

Born in Southern France to Andalusian parents, Natalia (as her family and friends call her), is a translator & interpreter by profession and flamenco aficionado by heritage. Growing up with her father singing flamenco at home, she studied ballet from the age of 6 and learned other forms of dance, only finding a flamenco class near home before relocating to Ireland for work at the end of 2002.

A brief history of Mojácar from ancient times to today.

Also known as the “Mojácar Puppet”, the Indalo has been used in Mojácar since ancient times. The town´s women when finishing their houses white wall washing, would draw this symbol over the doors to keep away from their homes bad spells or storms. It is related to the cave paintings found in “the sign cave” in Vélez Blanco, of Mediterranean origin, and it is dated back to 2.500 B.C.
