Flamenco at 505

Peña Flamenca have burst onto the scene as a fresh and modern flamenco nuevo ensemble, capturing the fused flavours of Spanish and Latin traditions creating a unique fiesta. The multitude of musical backgrounds (from classical to funk to jazz) breathes fresh air into the world of flamenco, combining to create an original antipodean interpretation of this powerful art form.

Pena Flamenca

 

Led by Christopher Duff on guitar, the group features singer Angela Rosero, dancer Chachy Peñalver, Zoe Velez on vocals, Byron Mark on percussion, Tom Burns Brown on bass, Keyna Wilkins on flute/piano and Trevor Brown on saxophones. From their diverse roots, they have developed a unique sound, with many original compositions and fresh choreography.  2013 has seen a busy schedule for Peña Flamenca with shows at the Basement, Vanguard, Manly Fig, La Sala, Jam Gallery Adelaide Fringe Festival, Darling Harbour Fiesta, Flamenco/Indian fusion at Paramasalla Festival, and a sell-out show at Camelot Lounge.

On Friday you can see their explosive nuevo stylings contained in the intimate space of Venue 505, where the passion of the art form will be up close and personal.
