Lakshmi's Bio:
A dancer of emotion, inspiration and precision, Lakshmi Basile “La Chimi“ captivates her audience with a unique yet familiar flamenco art. In late 2010 she won the finalist prize in the National Contest of Flamenco Art of Cordoba (Concurso Nacional de Arte Flamenco de Córdoba), “the contest of the contests,” and second prize in the Concurso de las Minas de La Unión en 2011. This accomplishment, unprecedented in the history of flamenco, left a track of surprising reactions: “…un desgarrador homenaje a los románticos de lo jondo…” (“…a heartwrenching homage to the romantics of classic flamenco…”), Alberto Garcia Reyes, ABC.

Lakshmi Basile’s remarkable ascent is no surprise considering her childhood and family history. Both of her parents are freelance performing artists. She grew up immersed in ethnic music and dance and it was natural for her to discover a career in flamenco. With her background in flamenco, classical, and contemporary dance Lakshmi Basile moved to Spain in 2002 from San Diego, California. In Santa Barbara, California, she choreographed and headlined with companies like the Pacific Action Dance Company. In Spain she studied with various master teachers such as: Los Farrucos, Angelita Vargas and Andres Marin. Her ever growing popularity left an impressive trademark in venues such as La Carbonería, Los Gallos, La Feria de Abril and other flamenco tablaos and peñas. Renamed within flamenco circles as “La Chimi”, she debuted in the Bienal de Flamenco de Sevilla, 2004.
