ACAPELLA: BAILE Y VOZ

FLAMENCO PERFORMANCE

Featuring Director/Choreographer: Adriana Maresma Fois

Guest Artists: Marta Roverato and María del Mar Fernandez*

¨ACAPELLA¨ highlights the language between dance and song (baile y Voz), showing the intricate details that string together the color spectrum  of this language: flamenco.

Flamenco is a folk art said to go back to the 13th century in Spain;  influenced by the many seeds planted by the Romany people  traveling  from India, the Middle East, up  through eastern Europe and flourishing in southern Spain, Andalucía. 

 It started as an expression of celebration in people´s homes, at get togethers. It accompanied workers on the farm, steel makers, or miners in the mine.

The song (cante) came first: lyrics created in the moment, spontaneous,  and combined with different hand clapping (palmas) patterns creating heart beating rhythms to each type of song.

Next came the dance (baile), as a natural expression to interpret the song, and accenting added musical notes with the footwork.

The guitar came last, adding the link to both song and dance.

¨ACAPELLA¨ is a captivating experience allowing the audience to know the song, in  the raw,  and the dance at it´s most expressive.

Come join us for a special Happy Hour event, including

Spanish tapas and drink, a wonderful flamenco painting exhibition by Adriana Maresma Fois, and  closing with a breath taking performance, ¨ACAPELLA-BAILE Y VOZ¨!
