CBJ Flamenco Ensemble at the Phoenix Art Museum
December 28, 2011
Here’s a brief video clip of my performance with the Chris Burton Jácome Flamenco Ensemble at the Phoenix Art Museum sponsored by the Latin American Art Alliance in November 2011. This is part of a flamenco dance in the palo of tientos. The evening included flamenco dance and music with a fusion of Mariachi music from where, Chris Burton Jácome’s brainchild, ¡FlaMéxico! was born.
Sincerely,
Happy Holidays

It’s been a wonderful year of flamenco dancing, performing and teaching. I’m thoroughly excited about the New Year and the many projects awaiting in 2012. Stay tuned for more touring performances with The Chris Burton Jácome Flamenco Ensemble and local Arizona performances in ‘The Valley of the Sun‘.

Flamenco Tablao at Tapa’s Papa Fritas
December 17, 2011
Last night I performed at a local Spanish Restaurant, Tapa’s Papa Fritas from 7:30pm – 10:00pm. It was a great crowd and a spectator threw some roses out on the stage after the dancing. I took a photo of the bouquet that I strategically placed in Kris Hill’s dumbek. Tapa’s Papa Fritas is located in Old Town Scottsdale. Visit their website for more information or to make reservations: www.tapaspapafritas.com
I’ll be performing again tonight, Saturday, Dec. 17th from 7:30pm – 10pm. Visit my calendar for information on upcoming performances and projects!

What people are saying:
I have taken this Sunday morning to sit and go through your wonderful book. The quotes are so uplifting and astounding. As I read the quote from Schweitzer – about when the light goes out and is rekindled by another person I thought of you. You have given me that spark. I know I am old and past physical means to spark but I will share your spark in my way as life moves on.
Thank you so much for your art, talent, and this wonderful book.

“… tastefully done. As you know, a picture is often worth a thousand words, but many of the brief quotes in the book are also worth a thousand words. In some ways, each page is a new world.”

I love this photo!
Besides being a fantastic flamenco guitarist, Chris Burton Jácome happens to be a talented singer. I just assume most people know this about him. Also in the background is another great talent, Sal Gallegos, who sang the introduction to my piece.
