Lecture in Oakland

Dear Foro Members,

I will be giving lecture-demonstrations on Music and Flamenco at Far West Alternative High School in Oakland, CA (USA) on Monday November 29th. I will also be there that whole weekend. I know it is Thanksgiving weekend but if anyone would like to meet up and talk – face to face – about anything I will be available and would love to have some company. Please PM or email me if you would like to get together.

JAR

So is this part of a larger program? I'll probably drop by since I'm only 25 minutes away.

Hey Jason,

Cool! I would love to come. I would love to talk with Gamboa. How much are the tickets for Diamond Studio? Sorry, I should have said that because it is a High School it is not open to the public but I am free saturday and sunday mostly. So if anyone is interested I could meet up. I would love to meet your wife too Jason, maybe she can help me with some of my dance steps.

I don't how much the tickets are. Nina Menendez would be able to tell you that. Yaelisa teaches classes 4 days a week. Perhpas you could trade a dance class for accompanying another on guitar or singing.

I believe there will be a workshop soon in Fresno as a flamenco organization from there attended our recent concert in LA. I will let you know if it pans out.

Maybe we can get together for lunch. Beans, Tacos and Enchiladas?

just kidding.

Juan del Gastor is teaching an interesting Baile por Fiesta class at Ashkenaz next Saturday in Berkeley. That should be a riot. I wonder what a cat like Juan would think of Manolo Sanlucar's theories about flamenco off the record. I could only imagine. Might be worth checking out while you are in town.

Hopefully we will bump into each other while you are in the East Bay. I will be playing Yaelisa's classes in the front studio while Juan's class takes place.

Is this guy part of the contingent of characters that is touting that you don't play E-7 to Am in solea cante accopaniment?

If so that stuff is the talk of the town here in Oakland and SF. There are accomplished guitarists, singers and dancers here that never bother to go on internet to check the Foro and they are doing it now. Boy howdy we are paying close attention to that deep knowledge pouring up from the Central Valley.

I'll tell you it's like a flamenco desert around here and man this new knowledge will set us on a course to really learn something.

God bless the denizens of the Central Valley.

Today I was at an afternoon gathering where three guitarists who studied with none other than Diego Del Gastor happened to converge on a fellow aficionados home. I was delivering a guitar I had repaired back to the owner when these old codgers showed up. Well sir I had a '69 Reyes under my arm and I gave it to those old Diego students and they played it for two hours. Beautiful stuff. But I have to tell ya, when they played por solea for the singer who also showed up, they went from E-7 to Am. Lucky for me now I know better and I won't make that mistake when I play in front of anyone. Boy I am so lucky I learned that before it got old and it became a habit I could not break. Diego was so wrong for playing that change when he accompanied Fernanda de Utrera and Juan Talega. I am so relieved to know I am now on the right path and I will never play that erroneous change.

Viva El Central Valley Toque.

ride 'em cowboy
