QueenTheatre’s Latin Culture and Dance Fiesta Presents “Nélida Tirado’s Dime Quién Soy”

Dancer in Flamenco dress, Spanish text displaying "Nelida Tirado - Dime Quien Soy"

A fusion of live music and dance, combining Salsa and Flamenco, ‘DIME QUIÉN SOY’ is a passionate reflection of cultural identity by Nélida Tirado who stumbles upon flamenco accidentally upon her mother's desires to keep her connected to the roots of her native Puerto Rican dance traditions of Bomba and Plena. This embarks her on a triumphant and challenging journey between bomba, salsa, and flamenco "dancing between cultures" in celebration of her authentic self where music and dance transcends and blurs lines of politics, race, and identity. Featuring original music by Gonzalo Grau with Marcos Lopez and Manolo Mairena.


Tickets are $35-$40. For more information and to purchase tickets for “Nélida Tirado’s Dime Quién Soy,” visit https://queenstheatre.org/event/nelida-tirado/.
