Dos Lunares presents Calé Rachi a weekend of exploration into the world of Flamenco through film, discussion and interactive rhythm making/palmas.
Their Flamenco weekend will kick off with a film night, discussion and tapas on Friday, March 5 at 7:30pm. They will be screening the wonderful documentary La Turista Soy Yo about Flamenco singer Luis Agujetas, the youngest son of the well-known and highly regarded Flamenco cantaor Agujetas el Viejo. This documentary by Trina Bardusco, follows Luis Agujetas through his daily rituals which include his nightly job singing at the famous Flamenco tourist mecca La Carbonería en Sevilla, Spain.
Palmas, the art of Flamenco hand clapping will be featured in their Sunday presentation, March 7 at 2pm. Join them for a lively afternoon of interactive, participatory rhythm making with Los Angeles bailaora, Cristina Lucio.
The name of their presentation, Calé Rachi or Gypsy Night is a nod to the intersections of Chicano and Gitano culture that took place along the Mexican-American border during the early 1900s.
