Crosstown Arts presents Flamenco Memphis: Noche Flamenca, an evening of flamenco music and dance. Barcelona native dancer and choreographer, Noelia Garcia Carmona, along with guitarist Roy Brewer combine their years of experience and love of Flamenco in a night of Spanish magic and “duende!” The ensemble also includes visual artist and singer Melanie Pyron and flutist Mari Kamikura, who will blend their melodies with the rhythms of the guitar and dance.

This captivating “tablao” style concert presents a variety of “palos” – from the nobel Seguiriyas to playful fiesta songs. The newly created ensemble, Flamenco Memphis, will share the beauty, energy and passion of flamenco in this exciting Spanish night of culture and art.

Come and join us in this Summer Noche Flamenca!
