about VIFF
As one of the few celebrated festivals devoted to flamenco art outside of Spain, the Vancouver International Flamenco Festival nurtures flamenco’s hybridized roots in Sephardic, Persian, Gypsy and Indian cultures.

Running for over 20 years, VIFF is produced by Flamenco Rosario.

We strive to reflect flamenco’s diverse sociocultural identity through work narratives underlining the form’s universal message of humanistic tolerance.
