Tap Olé at the Regent Theatre in Arlington



DATE: Friday, May 16, 2008

SHOWTIME: 8:00

LOCATION: Regent Theatre - Arlington, MA

Boston’s annual celebration of International Tap Dance Day, “Tapestry 2008” will feature a spectacular 75 minute show from Tap Olé, an incredible fusion of classical Spanish guitar with tap dance. Tap Olé is one of premier dance companies in Barcelona, Spain, home to one of the world’s most vibrant tap scenes. Led by the fiery Guillem Alonso, a warm, witty, and brilliant performer, this four-person ensemble blends two flamenco-style guitarists with two powerhouse dancers to create a dynamic, unique, mesmerizing dance experience.

According to the dancers, Catalan tap dance emerged as one of the many forms of resistance to the Spanish dictator Franco, and his oppression of Castilian culture. As they fought to keep their language and culture alive when both were forbidden, Catalan artists of the ‘70s and ‘80s rejected many things typically Spanish, including Flamenco. For them, tap dance was a gateway to artistic freedom and a response to cultural oppression. Now in its 40s and 50s, the first generation of Spanish tap dancers trained younger dancers, including Guillem Alonso.

A transformative figure in the history of Spanish tap dance, Alonso began his studies as a youngster with the first generation of Catalan tap dancers, and developed his chops in New York City by apprenticing and performing with Manhattan Tap, Brenda Bufalino’s American Tap Dance Orchestra, and others. His progress to “world best” happened with Catalunya’s first family of tap, the Mendes Brothers, with whom he continues to perform. A decade of performing, teaching, and leading monthly tap jams has cemented Guillem’s position as leader of the Catalan scene. One of the most in-demand dancers in the world, Guillem is this year’s guest artist at the Chicago Human Rhythm Project, where he will make four separate appearances throughout 2008, including one with Tap Olé.

Guillem discovered the craft of sand dance, as taught by the late New Yorker Harriet Brown, during his apprenticeship with New York’s Manhattan Tap. He has taken the craft to levels never seen before. Even the late, legendary Sandman Sims would have to be considered ‘old guard’ in comparison to Alonso’s flat-out technical virtuosity and artistry.

After premiering parts of their show in Chicago and New York, Tap Olé captivated audiences and critics alike at the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. By presenting Tap Olé, on International Tap Dance Day, Dance Inn Productions celebrates the globalization of an art form that has clearly transcended its American roots.

Complementing the Friday, May 16 International Tap Dance Day Concert, Thelma Goldberg’s Dance Inn Productions will present tap master classes and workshops with the featured artists including Guillem and his partner Roser with both guitarists accompanying classes, the iconic Brenda Bufalino, Boston’s own Dianne Walker, New York’s favorite Germaine Salsberg, and young lions Kelly Kaleta, Sean Fielder, and Aaron Tolson on Saturday and Sunday May 17 and 18, at the Dance Inn in Lexington and downstairs at the Regent Theatre. More information is available at www.danceinnproductions.org or call Thelma Goldberg at 781-863-5360.

A participant’s showcase, featuring the work of local artists including New England Tap Ensemble, the Boston Tap Company, the Legacy Dancers, and students of Julia Boynton, Pam Raff, Drika Overton, and choreographers from around New England, will be held at the Regent Theatre on Saturday night, May 17, at 8PM. Tickets $15.00.

The historic Regent Theatre-located at 7 Medford Street (off Mass. Ave.) in Arlington, Massachusetts-is wheelchair and MBTA accessible with free parking across the street.

Review: Emil Zrihan Direct from Israel

Featuring an All-Star Andalusian Band: Boujema Razgui,Hamid, Zairi Walid, Rachid Halihal, & Juanito Pascual

DATE: Saturday, Sept. 8, 2007
SHOWTIME: 9:30 pm
LOCATION: Young Israel, 62 Green St., Brookline, MA (Near Coolidge Corner)

The show got off to a late (10:00 pm) start, but it was worth the wait! Sr. Zrihan has a voice like noone else - high but not shrill, strong and meliflous. His cante is not grating to the ear and indeed it was so soul-lifting, one felt almost transcended to a higher spiritual plane.

He can hold a note longer than any cantaor I have ever heard, and it is totally unwavering in its tone or substance. The night was populated with Morrocan and other North African traditional songs as well as favorite Israeli ones which he encouraged the audience to participate in. This special Jewish New Year's Celebration show drew a sold-out crowd and the audience was buzzing before, during, and afterward.

Accompanied by veteran Flamenco Guitarist Juanito Pascual, along with Boujema Razgui on Flute, Hamid on Darbouka, Zairi Walid on Oud and Electric Bass, and Rachid Halihal on Electric Violin, the ensemble drew breathless gasps of pleasure at their musical virtuousity. (Noted in the audience master violinist Rohan Gregory). They played traditional love songs in the ballard style as well as religious temple songs. It was very similar indeed to Quawali singing (i.e., the late Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan) in its devotion to God and the innate goodness of the Human Spirit.

Because I did not understand Hebrew or Arabic - which were the languages that Sr. Zrihan sang in - I can't provide a detailed account of the content. But it was almost a moot point since the subtext of his singing and not the words where that I came for. Sorrowfully, the night ended much too quickly. Hopefully others will get to experience the voice of the Cantor of Israel's Ashkelon Temple. This man has the most beautiful male voice I have ever heard and I encourage you to seek him and his art out!!!

Juanito Pascual Flamenco Ensemble At New England Conservatory - Jordan Hall

Unlocking the Art of Flamenco - As part of the intercultural Institute

New England Conservatory - Jordan Hall
Friday June 22, 2007
8:00 pm

Juanito Pascual - Guitar

With Special Guest - Elena Andújar Vocals and Dance

Jerry Leake - Percussion

Rohan Gregory - Violin

The night started out with "TARANTAS" a traditional piece played solo by Juanito Pascual. As always, Juanito warms up the audience with the truest of sounds so evocative of flamenco which inspires romantic sentiment. Next came an alegrìas - "SALVA" in honor of his guitar maestro from Extremadura.

Elena Andújar, just in town that evening performed the vocals in the truest of Gitana style. When listening to her, I simply close my eyes and imagine an Andalusian peña or private house party replete with the best musicians, singers and dancers, perhaps celebrating a wedding or other family event.

She looked absolutely every inch from head to toe a “Reina Gitana”, dressed in green manton and hair comb and a lovely Spanish blouse over flowing black skirt, her beautiful countenance a reminder of the Indian Migration across the world to what is now the Roma Diaspora. Her eyes and skin as dark and glowing as the first singer to come from Northern India many centuries past…

She then proceeded to perform a “SOLO DE CANTE” with the same skill and intensity, pouring out as much passion and conviction as any singer could. She was formidable in her style and execution.

The third piece, was a traditional “BULERÍAS” which is always an audience favotite due to it’s 12 beat rhythm, and was followed by the last number in the set, a TANGOS also done in the traditional style. This last number highlighted the skills of percussionist Jerry Leake, an instructor at New England Conservatory (as well as co-founder of acclaimed world music ensemble Natraj) demonstrating just how deadly serious he is about his craft.

Speaking of serious sound, can the violin of Rohan Gregory kill with a note? You bet!!! I could listen to his deftly nimble handling of those sonorous strings for hours! To hear him is to transport oneself to a Roma campfire in the heart of a Romanian forest. You MUST find an opportunity to see him play, perhaps as a member of the QX String Quartet where he is currently a member. He’s played with the world-reknowned Klezmatics as well as rocking Boston’s Fleet Center (nee BankNorth) on the Paige/Plant tour with Led Zeppelin!

The second set followed with the premier of "ELATION" which will be on Juanito's next CD. ( By the way, the working title of the CD is language of the Heart but it may change. ) It was a jazz/flamenco fusion with new sensations and textures accented by compás accompaniment.

The second number of the set, “TIFERET” was a beautiful fusion piece. It's translation from the Hebrew is truth/beauty/harmony.

The third number was an “ALEGRÍAS” danced and choreographed by Sra. Andújar which gave the audience little time to catch their breath, as her footwork and style enhanced the production immeasurably. She captivated the entire hall, and a pin could drop yet her movements onstage were the only thing anyone was paying attention to. You literally could not pull your eyes from her as she danced. This is a journeyman flamenco performer – someone who can do it all!

The last number, VIAJÉ was a Bulerías done in a new style by Juanito. Here again, strong vocals from Elena Andújar with a composition which morphed from new-age jazz back to tradional. It will be interesting to her on the CD.

The night ended too quickly and left everyone up from their seats in a standing “O” – another triumph for young but remarkable artist, Juanito Pascual.

REVIEW: CHARO'S Performance At SCULLERS! Saturday May 19, 8:00 pm
Scullers Jazz Club 400 Soldiers Field Road, Boston, MA.

Funny, crazy, passionate! She was the very essense of DUENDE!

These words barely begin to describe Charo. My front row seat in the intimate Scullers setting was like a Christmas and Birthday gift all rolled into one. As Charo sang and performed her "Las Vegas" style show complete with songs from ABBA and others, mingling with the crowd, dancing and waving her arms violently, I knew this would be no ordinary night.

Accompanied by sterling musicians Rick Powell (Musical Director) on drums, Wayne Tolen on bass guitar, and Patrick Karst on keyboards, Charo's ensemble combined decades of musical acumen and skill. Each musician knew his material inside/out and was able to keep up with Srta. Charo's high energy and intensity. No mean feat, since this woman was phenomenal by half!

Once the first half of the show which was geared mostly to the image of Charo as a caricature ended, the night truly began for this reviewer. I really looked forward to what happened next...

She picked up her guitar and proceeded to bring the house down.

Selections included the standard classical works from Albeniz (Asturias), Manuel de Falla, and Ravel (Bolero). Charo also shared her experience studying under the late great Andrés Segovia . She has helped to set up a special guitar school for children teaching the Segovia method.

Check out her album here: CHARO AND GUITAR

(More about Charo)

Charo is the nickname of Maria Rosario Pilar Martinez Molina Baeza. Born in the town of Murcia in southeastern Spain, she learned to play the guitar from the world-famous master, Andres Segovia, becoming a recording artist in her early teens. She appeared in the Spanish film classic, "Don Juan Tenerio" and was featured in a children's television show that brought her to the attention of famed Latin bandleader, Xavier Cugat. She joined Cugat's band and traveled to Las Vegas where the band played in major casinos; including Caesar's Palace, The Flamingo, and The Tropicana.

Twice voted "Best Classical Flamenco Guitarist in the World" - Guitar Player Magazine Vice President of Muscular Dystrophy Association Winner of a Billboard International Latin Music Award Winner of Screen Actors Guild Award Winner of the prestigious Golden Eagle Award for Outstanding Entertainment of the Year Received the Key to the City of Las Vegas by Oscar Goodman (03/14/04) Honored with the "Charo Week Proclamation" from the City of San Francisco (08/02/05)

Charo not only created and established the new Salsa style, but also made it possible for contemporary Latin music to reach the heights of popularity it has today.

Currently, Charo is on tour and in concert to sold-out audiences. She is also busy promoting her new CD, "Charo and Guitar," a highly anticipated mixture of her patented rhythms and mastery of classical guitar. "Charo and Guitar" is a combination of the most exciting and original music of today and the most famous classical masterpieces in the world. Charo performs brilliantly and passionately on these powerful tracks, blending heart and soul with her unique Flamenco style. This album breaks new grounds by featuring and combining new-age Flamenco Pop with some of the greatest classical masterpieces ever written - sure to be an international success with all audiences. "Charo and Guitar" will bring countless hours of enjoyment to all listeners.

La Conja on her collaboration with the ART

How do you put Flamenco and a Greek tragedy together?

This is what I thought when director Karin Coonrod, asked me to work with her at American Repertory Theatre in Cambridge. Karin and I had worked on 2 other plays; Poet In New York at NYU, and Casa De Bernarda Alba, at Columbia University. Both plays were written by Federico Garcia Lorca which of course means putting Flamenco dance and song in the play would be very appropriate as Lorca loved the Gypsies and Flamenco cante.

But when Karin said we are going to do The Phoenician Woman by Euripides, I thought well this should be interesting... she gave me the play to read, then we got together to discuss the various scenes and as she was talking I could envision the different palos that would go well for each scene. I worked with 18 actors only a few had dance backgrounds. This made my job very challenging couple with the fact that we had very little time together. Karin wanted each scene to have a different Flamenco compas behind it. So when the actors were speaking there would always be a Flamenco rhythm behind it.

There were wooden boxes which they used to create the different sounds of the compas almost like cajons. I started each day with the actors with a very strong warm up for the body arms, hands, palmas, footwork. I know this was something very different for them but, each one really gave there all to the work.

When I would come in each day I could hear them rehearsing their footwork and palmas and I could see that they were getting more and more into the Flamenco. Both Karin, and I would talk to them about the feeling and passion of Flamenco, how you really have to commit to the movement. Each day I would see new things in them and hearing them recite there lines I could see how each actor was getting deeper and deeper into the play. We used a Siguiriyas, for the opening all the actors coming forward as a group and marking the compas with there feet and the palmas. From there the group would open up and Jocasta, would come forward with her opening lines.

Then the rest of the ensemble would start the compas for Fandangos. This is where the Phoenician Woman would start telling there story as they were speaking there lines there were also dancing believe me this very hard to do. Karin, also had the actors speaking in both Greek, and Aramic (A derivative of Phoenician alphabet) I also gave a bit of cante to one the actors who was one of the Phoenician Woman, she sang some letras por Tientos. Other palos we worked in Tanquillo, Tangos.

The actors will be in Moscow Russia, for 3 months where they will perform the play and also be studying at the Moscow Theater Arts School. I wish I could go to Moscow but, at least my choreography will be seen in other parts of the world.All in all it was a great 2 weeks I really enjoyed watching the play come alive. It was great to share my art form with these young talented actors I really wish them a lot of success over in Moscow.

Editors note: This production is slated to be eperformed at the ART around September... more details to come.
