"La Nieta de la Maharaní" by Maha Akhtar

DATE: Thursday, March 11, 2010, from 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm

LOCATION:
Cervantes Institute
211 E. 49th Street
New York, NY 10017

RSVP AND FURTHER INFORMATION: HERE

On Thursday, March 11th at 6:00PM the Cervantes Institute will host the book presentation “La Nieta de la Maharaní” by Maha Akhtar. This book is part of Roca Publisher’s “Azares and Virtudes” collection; dedicated to the personal and artistic lives of its mains characters

This event, presented by the writer herself will offer the opportunity to know all aspects related to the book. “La nieta de la Maharaní” relates the real history of Anita Delgado’s granddaughter – Malaga’s dancer who married Kapurthala’s Maharaja- through several generations: her two grandmothers (Anita y Laila), her mother (Zahra) and the author.

This extraordinary chronicle of these four women’s lives holds a profound and heartrending work of love, hope and cultural mestization that closes the circle of a story that begins and finishes in Spain one century later.

“La nieta de la Maharaní”, has already been presented in Madrid, Málaga, Sevilla, and Barcelona with critical acclaim. “La nieta de la Maharaní” will be available on stores on April 28th

BIOGRAPHY:
Leilah Broukhim was born in New York of Iranian parents, although she has been based in Spain for nine years. At a young age, she became interested in the dance world studying ballet, jazz and tap in the Professional Children´s program at New York´s distinguished Broadway Dance Center. Later, she began her flamenco dance formation with such respected New York-based professors, such as José Molina, La Meira and Raquel Heredia. In Madrid she continued her studies at the renowned dance academy Amor de Dios under great masters of flamenco, including Maria Magdalena, Manuel Reyes, Rafaela Carrasco and José Maya. At the same time, she completed her knowledge of flamenco in Seville with the Farruco Family.

Leilah's professional career began in the US with Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana and María Benítez Teatro Flamenco. Leilah has performed in the principal tablaos of Spain, including Casa Patas, El Corral de la Morería, Las Carboneras and El Cordobés. She formed part of the dance companies of Rafael Amargo, Paco Peña and Javier Barón. She was also the protagonist of the official promotional video of the Casa Sefarad-Israel. In 2008, she performed in a series of concerts with guitarist Augustin Carbonell "El Bola" and legendary flute player Jorge Pardo. In 2009 she premiered her show "Enlazados" in the Teatro Juan Bravo in Segovia. Leilah participated in the 10th anniversary of the Festival Flamenco Pa'tos, sharing the stage with Eva la Yerbabuena, Marina Heredia and Carmen Linares.
