Flamenco Fun at Musical Instrument Museum
July 12, 2011
Chris Burton Jacome & I just participated in Musical Instrument Museum‘s Summer Series for Kids this past Saturday, July 9th. Two Flamenco Music & Dance Classes were offered to the community through MIM: A 10 – 11:30am Class for Ages: 6 – 11 & 1:00 – 2:30pm for Ages: 11 – 16. The classes were such a wonderful success and Chris & I had a spectacular time. Below are a few images taken during the classes courtesy of MIM.

Spanish dancers liven up UAF Pub
By Jamie Hazlett
Sun Star Reporter
A $20 cover charge was not enough to keep people from packing the UAF Pub, Friday, Oct. 8 for the Spanish dance group Calo Flamenco. Urged on by many ‘olé!’s, ‘bravo!’s, and the occasional cry of ‘agua!’, Calo Flamenco pounded across the stage for two hours, each footfall amplified by floor-level microphones. The event was the first ever put on by the Fairbanks Concert Association (FCA) at the UAF Pub, and the turnout was described as “great” by Cori Anthony, FCA Vice President, and “good” by Kris Hill, Cajon (drum) player.
Larry Lowe, webmaster for the FCA, saw his first flamenco performance by Calo Flamenco at the Blue Loon earlier in the week. “I didn’t know this was on my bucket list until I saw it for the first time,” he said. “It was off the radar. You didn’t know…These guys are incredible.” Speaking about the Pub itself, Lowe added that “this is the best stage they’ve had. This is a hot crowd…they’re gonna burn the house down tonight.”
When asked how he was enjoying Fairbanks, Hill said it was “beautiful…I’d love to come in the summer.”
Guitarist Chris Burton Jácome told the crowd that if “you guys all show up like this, we’ll be back,” a statement that was met by cheers.
“We take your time seriously,” Jácome told the audience later on. “That’s why we work so hard.”
