The son of a dancer and nephew of a cantaor, it was written in his genes that he would come to be someone important in the world of flamenco. He was a solo dancer in the Ballet Nacional (National Ballet) for three years and he worked in several companies before setting up his own one. He danced on stages all over the world with artists of the stature of Nureyev, Maya Plisetskaya and Julio Bocca, with whom he shared the Mexico City Prize for the Best International Dancer in 1990. Two years earlier, in Italy, he was awarded the Navisela Prize for the Best Dancer.
In 1992, Antonio Canales set up his own company and made his debut in Bilbao with the choreographies A tí, Carmen Amaya and Siempre Flamenco. His most successful show was Torero, which was presented in Canada in 1993, with which he obtained the Premio Nacional de Danza (National Dance Prize) in 1995, and he came to be in the running for the post as director of the Ballet Nacional de España. He has also received the Medalla de Andalucía and the Max Prize for the Best Dance Show for Gitano, the work that proved to be Sara Baras' launchpad to stardom.
A tireless creator, he brought several works to the stage: Bengues (1998), Guernica (1988), Raiz, Fuerza Latina, La Cenicienta… He took part in the recording of the album De Akí A Ketama with the band Ketama. He also worked in cinema: he played an important part in Montoyas y Tarantos, which was an Oscar nominee in 1990, he starred in Vengo in 1999 and he recently finished shooting Duende. |
