Flamenco is an art form drawn from the cultural richness of Andalucía in Southern Spain. It combines the melismatic poetry of the singer’s voice punctuated with the rhythmic Spanish guitar and cajón box drum together with fiery footwork of the dancer. The performance will feature a ‘Cuadro Flamenco’, consisting of singer Hector Márquez, dancer Mariana Gatto, guitarist Miguelito and cajón player Kevan El Pelo; regular performers at restaurant Taberna del Alabardero based in the Golden Triangle. This experience will inspire the audience to shout out “Olé!”
