Each June, NIF brings some of the finest Flamenco artists in the world to Albuquerque to teach workshops and hold performances. This exciting Albuquerque Summer tradition celebrates Flamenco, the ancient form of artistic expression of the Spanish Gypsy culture. Flamenco's song, dance and music explore the full range of human emotion with an intense, vibrant quality that leaves audiences spellbound.

NIF, a nonprofit organization, is dedicated to preserving Flamenco's art, culture and history. Festival Flamenco Internacional (FFI), held at the University of New Mexico, is the largest event of its kind in North America, attracting guest artists, students and Flamenco fans from around the globe. Events include workshops, round table discussion forums, pre-professional performance competitions and spectacular performances.

During the Festival, NIF will also offers its annual Flamenco Kids Camp. This popular two week day camp introduces children ages 6 - 14 to the full range of Flamenco, featuring daily classes in dance, guitar, cajon and cante with field trips relevant to Flamenco and visits to several area attractions. At the week's end, campers and their families delight in participating in the camp's closing showcase performance for the community.

FFI is famous for its many thrilling, full house performances by guest artists and local Flamenco favorites. Flamenco experts in Spain recognize this dynamic festival as the most important Flamenco event in this part of the world.
