We celebrate COMMUNITY, as we feature the rich intergenerational artists of Mozaico Flamenco including Maestros Oscar Nieto & Kasandra “La China” with guitarists Gerardo Alcala, Peter Mole and international guest artist, Josue Tacoronte, with our “Los Mozaicos” flamenco singers. This wonderful concert depicts the vibrant energy of fiery flamenco dance.

In Spain, you can witness the spontaneity of flamenco, where people break out into song and dance in the streets, at restaurants, parties, after church or whenever they are so inspired!

Flamenco: Under the umbrella of “Spanish Dance”, there are many genres of dance including classico espanol and jotas with castanets, regional Spanish folk dances from various cities and “Flamenco” is but one of the Spanish dances originating from Andalucia. However, it is our favourite here in Vancouver, as we love Flamenco which is reserved for the most fiery and expressive artists! It has a unique, intimate format in the form of the “cuadro” which is a group that includes live dancer, singer, guitarist and percussion/palmas and prizes energetic connection and expression above all!
Multicultural Expression: Flamenco has multicultural roots and is an amalgamation of Andalucian, Spanish, Roma, Arabic, Moorish, Sephardic cultures and religion, and has been influenced by Indian, Arabic, Moorish music. Amongst the Spanish song forms or “palos” includes Fandangos from Huelva (Andalucia) and Farruca from Galicia (Northern Spain). However, we consider “Flamenco Puro” or pure flamenco to originate from the traveling Roma gypsy families who migrated from India, through Northern Africa and landed in Andalucia, South of Spain, to create soulful Cante Jondo, deep profound song and the Bulerias & Tangos por Fiesta.
