KALIFEÑA –An Evening of Live Flamenco Music and Dance with Melissa Cruz and special guests
ABOUT:
This work emerged initially from an inspiration to unite voices of women who, despite their diverse backgrounds, have a thread of commonality between them – the study of flamenco, the artform from Andalucía, Spain deemed by UNESCO as a treasure of World Cultural Heritage.
Obviously, in its place of origin, flamenco makes sense. But what is it about the artform that calls so many of us, particularly those of us who do not claim it as familial or cultural identity? Why dedicate ourselves to its serious invocation?
Flamenco allowed itself to be seen by me, a woman here in Alta California and it continues to be my teacher, along with the fog and redwoods. What can emerge from that is something found nowhere else.
FEATURING:
Melissa Cruz – dance and percussion
Caro Acuña Olvera – vocals and percussion
Luna Alonso – vocals and cello
Bob San – guitar and bass
Jesse Torre – guitar
Katiana Vilá – vocals and percussion
