Yinka Esi Graves is an artist from London, the daughter of a Jamaican father and a Ghanaian mother who came to Spain attracted by flamenco. She has now become a well-known bailaora... even though she has a Yoruba name. She explores the memory of flamenco, the spiritual nature of which she says is directly connected to African dances. Her dancing accompanied singer Buika’s concert at the Teatre Grec during the Barcelona Grec Festival 2021, and more recently she performed The Disappearing Act (now being presented at this year's edition of the Festival d’Avignon) at the Grec 2023.
