 If
you're on the West Coast, and would like to catch some contemporary
flamenco music and dance, here are the dates of a little tour the Mojacar Flamenco group have
starting later this month.
Mojácar Flamenco is a dynamic group of flamenco artists led by
guitarist Stephen Dick and dancer Katerina Tomás. Together, they offer
a virtuosic tour-de-force in which music and dance weave together in
tight interplay. Mojácar offers flamenco concerts, workshops and
lecture-demonstrations, bringing the power and passion of flamenco to
all audiences.
Mojácar was formed in 1997 when Stephen and Katerina returned
from an extended visit to an artists' retreat in the village of Mojácar
on Spain's Mediterranean coast. While there, Stephen wrote much of the
music that became Mojácar's core repertoire. Since then, the group has
toured the U.S. and Canada, performed in Spain, collaborated with
artists from all over the world, and released a CD featured on NPRs
Morning Edition. Performances: July 22nd (SAT.) - 7:00 PM Altadena, CA - Coffee Gallery Backstage -
