Raquel Kurpershoek and Maria de Fatima

With an interval in the middle, this performance feels like a musical journey across the Iberian Peninsula. In the first half, you’ll find yourself transported to Portugal with the profound, melancholic sounds of Maria de Fátima’s authentic fado. After the interval, you’ll travel through Spain with a sophisticated blend of flamenco, Latin and jazz, performed by Raquel Kurpershoek.

Tapas Iberia is more than a concert; it is a culinary and musical journey for the senses. A fusion of two musical worlds that complement each other perfectly and take you on an unforgettable experience, full of passion, elegance and musical virtuosity.
