Agustito

With Special Guests

Genevieve Obregon & Guillermo Gonzalez

In the tablao, fingers strum guitars, hands clap byzantine rhythms, heads bend, listening intently to the gravelly voice of a lone singer. The woman next to you suddenly rises from her seat, her face transfixed in a mask of concentration, fingers snapping a morse code. She raises her arms, relishing the slow burn before exploding into a barrage of stamping feet, whipping turns and circling arms. The night has just begun.

Join A’lante Flamenco for this special, intimate night of flamenco that is best described by the word “agustito.” Like the song says:

“…me rompo la camisa si el punto me da
y yo luego acabo cantando,
en esta esquina me pongo a bailar
mientras los primos me cantan…”
(Translation: ” I’ll rip my shirt if I get the urge, and later I’ll end up singing. Over in the corner I may start dancing, while my buddies sing to me.”) 

For “Agustito” we have invited our good friends Genevieve Obregon (dancer) and Guillermo Gonzalez (singer) as our special guests. With music by Isai Chacon, Jose Manuel Tejeda, and Celia Corrales, and dance by Olivia Chacon and Sofia Hurtado.

Bring your own beverages, or share our homemade sangria (until it runs out!)

This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Elevate Grant.

ABOUT THE SHOW:

  • “Agustito is a “tablao” — an intimate flamenco experience where you can appreciate the stunning power of the dance, guitar, and singing. This is the place where flamencos feel most at home—on the small stage (tablao), close to each other, where we can see and feel and interact with the audience at will. Anything can happen in the tablao. Our performance may go as planned, or it may go haywire—which is much more fun!
  • The length of the show may vary from one night to the next, but it generally runs between 1.5 to 2 hours.
  • Each event takes place at Flamencura, 8910 Research Blvd., Suite D3 (hard to find, but so worth it when you get there!)
  • Bring your own beverages, or enjoy my homemade sangria while it lasts!
