Flamenco Performances

October 2nd & 3rd | 7 PM | Mayo Street Arts

We have an amazing line-up of flamenco artists coming to Mayo Street Arts this October. I am so thrilled and excited to perform again after such a long hiatus accompanied by three of the most sought-after flamenco artists in the US — flamenco singer Bárbara Martínez, flamenco guitarist Andreas Arnold, and flamenco percussionist and singer Mario Rincon — for two performances that highlight the interconnection between flamenco dance, song and guitar through traditional styles such as Livianas, Tarantos, Sevillanas and Bulerías. Having collaborated regularly, we strive to celebrate and honor the power of flamenco's storytelling ability through an emotive call and response of melodies, rhythms and movements.

Flamenco Guitar Workshop with Andreas Arnold

Mayo Street Arts | October 3rd | 1-2:30 PM

This workshop is designed for guitarists that have little or no knowledge about flamenco but do have a basic level of playing guitar (chords, strumming, basic music theory). Students should bring their own guitar (nylon stringed, classical, or flamenco).

In our time together, we will examine the particular ways that flamenco works rhythmically and harmonically, especially within the context of the guitar. We will learn rhythmic patterns of different flamenco palos (styles), how to play palmas (hand claps), and translate these ideas to the guitar.

Your Teacher: Andreas Arnold was born in Germany and lives between Andalusia, Spain and Brooklyn, NY. He has been working as a professional flamenco guitarist for the last 12 years. As a jazz musician who penetrated flamenco from the outside and deeply studied this music for years, he understands the difficulties that musicians might have when first trying to get a grip on flamenco. He can relate flamenco concepts in western terms and de-mystify some of the sounds of this fascinating art form. More about Andreas: www.andreasarnold.info
