The show
'About a year ago we began compiling a selection of our best stories and experiences on Latin America and Spain to complement a performance in a show format for theatres and concert venues. We talked about the idea of a journey through the Spanish-speaking world and the idea of Latin passion. Just at that point we were invited to put together a show for the Crescent Arts Centre in Belfast. The result was a first version of Fire in the Blood, which sold out and received excellent reviews and audience feedback ’

Fire in the Blood combines music and storytelling in a show packed with songs and instrumental pieces from a variety of traditions in the Spanish-speaking world.
Intricate and upbeat musical arrangements on flamenco guitar, charango, voice and percussion are interspersed with surprising and humorous stories from Victor and Paddy's encounters with Latin music and culture over the years. A unique blend of Andean, Andalusian, Mexican, and Cuban musical flavours, together with compelling storytelling make Fire in the Blood an unmissable chance to be transported to those sun-kissed lands, their people, their infectious passion and zest for life.

Praise for Los Dramaticos
‘An understated gem of the 2020 festival – Los Dramaticos took us on a journey across South America in story and song and had a packed Black Box enraptured. One of the best-received shows of this year’s Out to Lunch.’
Sean Kelly, Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival
‘Los Dramáticos have captured the imagination with their infectious passion and global outlook, their entertaining musical approach and their incredible musicianship.’
Linley Hamilton, BBC Radio Ulster
‘When I hear the very first strummings of Los Dramáticos, I’m immediately transported to another world, to a joyful world of warm, southern climes, a world of exhilaration, of life-giving energies. Their compelling musicianship, effortlessly fused in a masterful combination of flamenco guitar and 10-string charango, lingers long in the heart after the final notes are sounded. I always want more.’
Neil Martin, composer.
"Don't miss these guys! With outstanding performances, their musical tour of Spain and Latin America brought the audience on a wonderful journey which lifted the soul and made the body tingle! Irresistible entertainment!"
