The upcoming good weather brings great summer plans such as one we ́ll have in Battery Park City Parks (BPCP) in southwest Manhattan. This Saturday, May 21, from 6:30-8 pm in Esplanade Plaza, Sonia Olla & Ismael Fernandez will kick off this year ́s events calendar. The dancer and singer will guide all attendees to discover the keys to flamenco dance in a free event open to all ages and neither a partner nor experience is necessary.
Buleria, tiento, fandango, soleares, tango, jaleo, martinete, bamberas… So many flamenco styles and all in just two performances!
“Al Son Son Flamenco” returns for another year with never before seen choreographies by their creators Sonia Olla and Ismael Fernandez. The dancer and singer will be accompanied on stage by their young flamenco students, who have been working with them throughout the year in the dance and voice classes that are taught in Midtown. At the guitar, the rhythm of Hector Jose Marquez “Gordo”, Raphael Brunn, accompanied by the voice of the guest artist “El Bola”, in town direct from Spain, they will take us on a journey to the depths of Andalusia.
