About this Event
Encuentros is a musical meeting of Flamenco and Arabic traditions.
Featuring traditional Flamenco and Arabic music and dance alongside fusion works, the program explores the cultural exchanges and shared influences between these vibrant artistic traditions.
The performance brings together an ensemble of musicians and dancers whose traditions meet on stage in a vibrant exchange of rhythm and movement. Vocalist and flamenco dancer Annette Morcos leads the program, performing in both Spanish and Arabic. She is joined by Michael Boyle on flamenco guitar, Ayham Kardouh on oud, Josiane Saba on qanun, and Bob Fenske on percussion, as well as dancers Jessica Peñalver-Côté and Anastassiia Alexander in interpreting flamenco movements, alongside Arabic dance by Nico Hernandez and guest dancers. Together, the artists create a rich soundscape where flamenco and Arabic musical traditions meet, converse, and inspire new artistic encounters.
