We´re bringing rhythm to the East Village and Queens with “Al Son Son”
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.
This show full of talent and passion is the result of months of work by these students and can be enjoyed on Thursday 12 and Friday 13 (sold out!) of May at the MaMa Experimental Theatre Club (66 East 4th Street). Get your tickets as soon as possible; there are very few seats left for Thursday!
If you cannot attend “Al Son Son Flamenco” and prefer a spontaneous and free show, you have to see “Al Son Son Tablao” where students of the dance classes will show what they have learned during the year, including their ability to improvise in the purest tablao style. It is undoubtedly the best choice to savor authentic flamenco in its most natural form; on Saturday, June 3 at 8:00 pm at the Spanish Center of Queens (4101 Broadway, Astoria). There will be a buffet of Spanish tapas!
