FLAMENCO FANDANGUERO seeks to place in conversation distinct art forms that share a common ancestor, and create an unforgettable work of art. Reuniting the “primos hermanos” first cousins of flamenco and son jarocho, this captivating performance explores 21st century mestizaje, and Indo-Hispano, Chicano, and Latino identities and shared histories through flamenco and jarocho. Ultimately the work endeavors to create a unique and transcendent musical and dance experience that showcases the shared humanity and cosmic essence of son jarocho and flamenco, celebrating the beauty of our complex cultures and histories through the power, energy, and excitement of Flamenco.
This project was made possible by a National Dance Project grant.
