******************************************************************************************** SOLERO FLAMENCO welcomes internationally reknowned Flamenco Dancer TIMO LOZANO to Houston 
Galveston native and internationally renowned dancer Timo Lozano returns to Texas to perform, teach the art of flamenco and join forces with Irma La Paloma and Jeremías García of Solero Flamenco. Solero Flamenco and Timo Lozano will present "Unidos en Compás II" at San Jacinto College's The Proscenium Theater, on September 17th, 2010, at 7:30 pm.
Timo Lozano, the only non-Spaniard ever given the title of "Maestro de Bulerías," returns to his home state after performing in the world stages and teaching in over 15 countries. When asked what prompted his return to Houston, Lozano replied, "This is a special time in my career. I want to give back to the people of Texas and to the arts community. I feel I can do this by joining forces with Solero Flamenco. Irma La Paloma and Jeremy García are one of the best cante and guitar duos I have seen in my career. I value their artistry, professionalism and love for this art. Together we will generate new energy in the Houston Flamenco community." Lozano's professional dance career took flight at the age of 17 with an on the spot invitation by the great José Greco to join his touring company. Over the last 45 years Lozano has danced and collaborated with top figures in the flamenco arts. One of his greatest accomplishments was to be the first non-Spanish teacher in the famous "Amor de Dios" school of dance in Madrid, Spain. During nine years, Lozano trained many of the up and coming dancers from Spain and abroad. This is an unprecedented accomplishment for a native of Galveston raised in San Antonio's Hispanic neighborhoods. 
As well established flamenco artists in Houston, Irma La Paloma and Jeremías García deliver energetic and varied performances often in collaboration with local, regional and international artists. They initially attracted Lozano's attention while performing at the Dallas Flamenco Festival. Their first appearance together required immediate communication and improvisation. The result was a memorable collaboration leaving the audience and artists hungry for more.
According to Irma La Paloma and Jeremías García, "It is an honor and joy to work with a flamenco master of Timo's caliber. Timo dances with power and finesse. From his first step to his last, you are drawn into his world. His dance combines youthful energy with age old wisdom. This will be an exciting season of events and productions. We continue our commitment to presenting this art with quality, authenticity and heart."

"After having been involved in the flamenco community in Vancouver since 1993, I quickly came to realize that flamenco was not just another form of music. I remember the feeling I had the first time I listened to Paco de Lucia's famous rumba - "Entre Dos Aguas" in Iran about 20 years ago. Quite simply, I was blown away by it. So beautiful, so dynamic! More than anything, it was a high quality, yet easy listening piece of music that didn't require a flamenco-tuned ear for its enjoyment." ... FlamencoBeat webmaster Pirouz de Caspio!

********************************************************************************************** REVIEW OF GENERACIONES By Special Correspondent to Flamenco Buzz: Irma "La Paloma" SAN ANTONIO, TX: Producer and dancer Tamara Saj saw her vision come to life in “Generaciones” this past June 26th and 27th, at the Jo Long Carver Theater in San Antonio, Texas. Inspired by her poem “Mi Madre, Mis Manos” and her desire to contribute to the flamenco community Saj tended to all details of a production which united art and ages. Generaciones featured artists from youth to maturity in flamenco dance and music of varied rhythms, styles and artistry. At the helm were Timo Lozano and Teo Morca who left no doubt that they are indeed masters. It is evident that these grand gentlemen of flamenco enjoy their art and expertise and thereby set us free to enjoy right along with them.  
Left to Right...Timo Lozano, Teo Morca Lozano was engaging with elegant poise and flawless rhythm por alegrías. He was joined by Francisco Orozco “Yiyi” in “Ritmos,” a dexterous cajón piece where Don Timo played and danced simultaneously, culminating in a solo de pies in full display of his mastery. Morca’s rendition of “La Boda de Luis Alonzo” flowed with artistry and joy. He smiled as he played mesmerizing castanets with ease and moved with finesse in full dance motion. The echo of temple set the mood for “Memorias,” when in confident and skillful fashion, Don Teo danced por siguiriyas. 
Left to right...Solangel “Lali” Calix , Francisco Orozco “Yiyi, ”José Perello, Tamara Saj Solangel “Lali” Calix glowed with splendor in “Aire,” fandangos de Huelva. Calix is a graceful and experienced dancer and castanet player. In the whimsical cantiñas, “Las Dos Hermanas,” Calix played the elder sister who reprimands Saj for her mischievous antics. While keeping in theme, their complicity was relevant of their dance careers as Calix was one of Saj’s teachers. The musical support was provided by Francisco Orozco “Yiyi,” cante and percussion, and José Perello, guitar. Once again echoing the production’s theme, these talented and experienced artists of different ages graciously complimented each other as well as the dancers they accompanied. Perello’s “Tanguillos” and Yiyi’s “Toma que Toma” were featured in the second act. Dancing her adaptation of an original choreography by Teo Morca, Tamara Saj displayed her artistry with intensity and individuality in Isaac Albéniz’s “Asturias-Leyenda.” In the second act, Saj’s soleares were emotive in delivery and composition. Whether in production, dance or entrepneurship, there is more to come from Saj as it is her desire to continue to be an active contributor to the arts community in San Antonio.  
Left ~ Student recital group Right ~ Fin de la Fiesta Clad in colorful and tailored costuming the young dancers of Fandango, under the direction of Sonya Jimenez, performed two group dances, “Duende,”choreographed by Timo Lozano and “Concierto de Aranjuez,” choreographed by Carmen Linares “Chiqui.” In “Duende,”Sonya, an experienced and skilled dancer, closed with beautiful mantón technique. As the featured artists and company gathered for the final montaje por bulerías, Generaciones left us with joy and hope, reiterating that through study, dedication and collaboration, flamenco will continue to make its presence as a discipline of art and world genre for future generations.
