| ABOUT THE ARTIST | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
A native of Madrid, Francisca Sadornil Ruíz, La Tati has been performing professionally since the age of twelve. She began performing at the famous Tablao Zambra where she was introduced to artists of the purest flamenco traditions such as Rosa Durán, Manolo Vargas, El Gallina, Pericón de Cádiz, Juan Varea and Perico el del Lunar. She also performed at the tablao Los Canasteros, under the direction of Manolo Caracol, which at the time she was his favorite to dance por bulerías. A few years later, she went on to the Tablao Torres Bermejas where she performed with Camarón de la Isla, Niño Ricardo, Fernanda y Bernarda de Utrera, La Paquera de Jerez and other great artists. At the age of fifteen La Tati went on her first European tour with the Festival Flamenco Gitano, where she got to meet great flamenco and jazz artists like Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Charles among others. In the same tour she performed with Paco de Lucía, Jose Menese, Juan Maya, El Lebrijano, Camarón de la Isla and El Güito. She worked and taught at the Ballet Nacional de España under the direction of Antonio, and later performed as guest dancer with Luisillo's Teatro de la Danza, which traveled to Africa, Asia and Australia. La Tati visited the United States several times with the well-received performance of La Cumbre Flamenca, and in the late 1980's she founded her own company. Apología Flamenca was her first production with the newly-formed company and was presented in 1990 in Stockholm and in Paris with great critical acclaim. Her following production, Herejía de la Llama and Madri Jere, were presented in Madrid, and praised for their richness of ideas and innovation as well as for the brilliance of her interpretation. La Tati is one of the most acclaimed female flamenco dancers in Spain. Currently she teaches at Amor de Díos, flamenco dance school in Madrid.
