Description
In “Flamenco y Revolución,” A’lante Flamenco shares music and dance with a diverse array of artists from our extended musical family: Los Fandangueros bring their Mexican Son Jarocho, Sari Andoni contributes his Palestinian roots and virtuosic oud playing, and Josh Peters offers Middle Eastern grooves on lavta and trumpet. Each musician and dancer brings a love of their (chosen) culture, plus a willingness to shake up longstanding traditions. By exploring cultural origins and (re)uniting sounds, songs, and instruments that share family ties stretching over hundreds of years and thousands of miles, “Flamenco y Revolución” closes the distance between Palestine, Cadiz, and Veracruz to create new music that feels very old.
Featuring A’lante’s formidable musicians, Jose Manuel Tejeda, Isai Chacon, and Celia Corrales, plus dancers Olivia Chacon, Sofia Hurtado, Cristina de Llano and Justi Trauernicht.
