"RAICES" : A Journey through the Roots of Flamenco
Friday November 16, 2007 from 8:00pm - 10:00pm
University Theatre
University of Calgary Campus, 2500 University Dr NW
Calgary, Alberta Get Directions
"Raíces" takes the audience on a journey of music and dance to explore the roots of Flamenco. A unique European art form, Flamenco embodies a complex musical and cultural tradition rooted in ancient crossroads. "Raíces" narrates the story of Flamenco, bringing out the Spanish, Gypsy and Indian influences and highlighting the relationship between Flamenco and Arabic music. Integral in this performance is interplay between the dancers and live musicians, performing not only authentic flamenco guitar but also on traditional instruments. The concert brings together a mosaic of talented and well established local artists, each bringing their own rich musical and dance experience. This show is a repeat presentation of the sold out May 2007 show.
Musicians Ben Johnson, Jonathan Lewis, Robin Tufts, and David Matyas will transport the audience to lands far away with music on such instruments as the Oud, Buzuqi, violin, Dumbeck, tabla and Flamenco guitar. The vocals of Annette Morcos in Spanish, Arabic and Greek will embellish this musical experience. This mirage of exotic music will be interpreted in dance by Belly dancers Dafne Canales-lees and her Arabia Adorned group, by Flamenco dancers Annette Morcos, Maria Regnier, Francesca Canalizo, and Fineza Flamenca dancers, and Indian interpretation by KalaBhavan of Calgary.

"Raíces" is a one evening engagement, November 16, 2007 at the University Theatre, 8:00 pm
University of Calgary Campus, 2500 University Dr SW

Tickets (reserved seating)
