Alberto García Reyes.
"...the Source, Saint Moneta..."
|
GRANADA HOY. 4/2/2004.
Jorge Fernández Bustos.
"...La Moneta dances seguiriyas that provoke tears and laughter of pure emotion from the audience..."
|
IDEAL. 4/2/2004. Carlos Arbelos.
"...if anything charactreizes her way of dancing it is the vital passion and the sweeping force that she stamps upon her choreography..."
|
EL MUNDO. 5/4/2004. Manuel Martín Martín.
"...disturbing rhythms and surly suggestiveness but flamenco till it hurts..."
"... this woman from Granada makes us feel as if we had made an unexpected discovery through her authentic representation of intimate devotion..."
|
ABC. 1/10/2005. Manuel Ríos Ruiz.
"... a spirited dancer, who feels the joy of what she does, exceptional in the zapateados, tense in her arm gestures, she seeks the intensity of brilliance, and she achieves it with her wide repertory of postures, movements, sweeps, steps and stamps..."
|
EL PAÍS. 3/10/2005. Ángel Álvarez Caballero.
"... She enters the dance slowly, as if she were thinking about what she will do, and suddenly lets loose a zapateado with such force, control and at great speed. All of her dance is like this, done with determination and done very well..."
|
EL MUNDO. 4/10/2005. Alfredo Grimaldos.
"...nowadays, when flamenco dancers are doing well-rehearsed routines, it's refreshing to find a young artist who dares to be different. And she does it convincingly..."
|
DIARIO DE SEVILLA. 22/2/2006. Juan Vergillos.
"...art of suggestion, of possession. Art that breaks you on the inside..."
|
DE FLAMENCO.COM. 28/2/2006 Stela Zatania.
"...she is, as her nickname suggests, a beautiful young woman, but if we're unable to take our eyes off her, it's mostly because of her wonderful dancing..."
|
INFORMACIÓN DE JEREZ. 28/2/2006. Pepe Martín.
"...After seeing her yesterday," the Moneta" demonstrated she has before her a future full of success..."
|
FLAMENCO WORLD. 23/4/2006. Silvia Calado
"...she gives each style exactly what is required, from her gestures to her choreography..."
|
DE FLAMENCO.COM 23/4/2006. Manuel Moraga.
"...dancer from Granada who has all the makings of a major star of flamenco dance. She's original and expressive and finds new ways of charging her dancing with powerful emotion..."
|
EL PAÍS. 24/4/2006. Ángel Álvarez Caballero.
"...She has an intuition for the dance like a total discipline to which she must give herself body and soul..."
"...she was immense in everything, immense..."
|
DEFLAMENCO.COM 9/7/2006. Estela Zatania
"...each gesture of that petite body of hers is driven by a deep inner life that only the greatest artists have..."
|
IDEAL. 28/7/2006. Carlos Arbelos
"...it was impossible to determine who enjoyed this dance more, the audience who was admiring her or she herself with her fellow performers, her face full of happiness, you could feel her growing on stage..."
|
DIARIO DE SEVILLA. 30/9/2006. Rubén Gutiérrez
"...she delighted us with her Alegriás in her bata de cola ( flamenco dress with a long train), she gave feeling to the farruca dressed in a trouser suit and her compass set a standard in her emotive seguiriyas..."
|
 |
EL MUNDO. 1/10/2006. Manuel Martín Martín
"...La Moneta left a very good impression. Most noteworthy is her unusual aesthetic, a concept we've come to associate with Juanillo el Gitano whose
every pore seemed to cry out as when grief cuts a swath of pain through
your soul, smelling of the fresh earth where you were born, but also of
the primal broth in which molten bronze tempered pain..."
|
ABC. 30/9/2006. Alberto García Reyes.
"... Extremeño's singing put a magic carpet beneath her feet. Dance whatever you want girl, but dance. And did she ever. The farruca, where she was much more stylized, less primitive, left no doubt about her excellent preparation. But Moneta's greatest asset is precisely the ability to forget what she knows, forget what she did in rehearsal. Her rebellious siguiriya is the proof..."
"La Moneta is an example of freedom."
|
FLAMENCO WORLD. 30/9/2006. Silvia Calado
"...Dressed in a flaming red dress, the dancer switches to seguiriyas. She only needs the clapping trio –undisputed stars of this Bienal– to initiate her performance in triangular formation. Ducking down, and keeping her eyes on the ground, she tears her dancing against long rests, incredible outbursts of strength and charm. Long live the young blood… and the youth with roots..."
|
DE FLAMENCO.COM. 28/10/2006. Stela Zatania
"...Her subtle expression marked with brilliant outbursts..."
|
LA FLAMENCA Nº 18-2006. Oscar Sánchez
"...Fuensanta La Moneta, accompanied by the singing voice of José Valencia, radiated a strength and a spirit that left us all bewildered. La Moneta danced. Los Palacios became silent and the magic of flamenco had the floor..."
|
PASEO. (Japanese Flamenco Magazine)
Covers of issues 7 and 12, 2006
|
DE FLAMENCO.COM. 28/10/2006. Stela Zatania
"...No one remains indifferent in the presence of La Moneta..."
"...Wearing a plain red dress, lacking sleeves and train, La Moneta appears, her tweaking and her flamenco spirit moving the audience again and again..."
|
FLAMENCO WORLD. 23/1/2007. Silvia Calado
"...There wasn’t enough room to swing a cat at the Odeon. No enthusiast for miles around would have wished to miss what was being revealed in Nîmes. La Moneta exceedingly fulfilled the noisy audience’s expectations..."
|
GRANADA HOY. 4/5/2007. Jorge Fernández Bustos.
"...Following thorough research, after endless hours of rehearsals, that precious jewel, La Moneta, acquiring the shape that will set her ultimate value, is polishing herself slowly but holding on to her intuition. Creative spontaneity, flamenco beats leading her… The outcome is a profound dancing performance in which the dancer lets herself go, but appears more introspective than she’s ever done before..."
|
EL PAÍS. 12/5/2007. Ángel Álvarez Caballero.
"...She danced like an angel. Her seguiriyas reached one’s soul. Strength, confidence! She is petite, but on stage her presence is overwhelming. When dancing seguiriyas, one feels like burning inside. She kept a restless rhythm, reaching a stage of ecstasy rarely seen on stage. It seems impossible that such an apparently fragile person can maintain a state of tension so evenly within a frame of steps, turns and poses. La Moneta makes it possible and so natural; the audience, bewildered, enjoyed a night in heaven..."
|
JONDO WEB. 12/5/20007. Ángel Lacalle.
"...Her background is marked with the Granada styles, acquainted with the fiesta, dazzling people of all ages with its mysteries..."
|
GRANADA HOY. 17/8/2007. Jorge Fernández Bustos.
"...A farruca dancing style –well known to its connoisseurs– refined to perfection by La Moneta..."
"...It is a mature dancing style, calm, full of rests and complicity. Parallel to the times. A style that goes hand in hand with the vanguard..."
