A Night of Flamenco Music and Dance with Caminos Flamencos Featuring Master Guitarist Jason McGuire and Emmy Winning Dancer/ Choreographer Yaelisa with Special Guest Vocalists & Dancers Reyes Barrios and Stephanie Pedraza An evening of traditional flamenco with internationally recognized masters in the art of flamenco. Caminos Flamencos led by Jason and Yaelisa have produced some of the most creatively innovative productions in flamenco dance and music on the West Coast, influencing the development of flamenco across the U.S. and bringing some of Spain’s greatest artists to stages in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Orange County and throughout the Coast. Yaelisa curated the very first international flamenco festival in California, the New World Flamenco Festival, from 2001-2015 which set the stage for other festivals that followed in her footsteps. This power duo continues to delve deeply into the art as they have done for 30 years, with Jason now a masterful luthier building custom flamenco guitars, and one he will play this evening. Their time in the Bay Area was incredibly prolific, in both training and creating new artists to this genre, and in the level and depth of their many performances. They are thrilled to bring with them a San Diego-based artist, singer/dancer Reyes Barrios, originally from Sevilla, and Stephanie Pedraza, a Canadian flamenco artist travelling on the Coast. Post-performance there will be a Q&A with the artists taking questions and discuss the art and all things flamenco! Caminos Flamencos on Facebook
