I haven't seen any live flamenco since Carlos Montoya in the early 60"s. Wonderful artists come to the SF Bay area on occassion, but that is 150 miles from where I live in N. California. So last night was very special. Flamencura performed in Chico. Here is what I wrote to a friend: My son Mo and I went to see Paco Pena's performance in Chico last night. It was a complete production, with two very good singers, two extraordinary dancers, and three wonderful guitarists, including the great Paco Pena. The small concert hall on the Chico state campus was full, and the audience was the other half of what became a grand performance. To say we were enthusiastic would be an understatement. Such a strong feedback to the performers brought them to an emotional and artistic peak. They gave everything they had to give. So much love was passing between the audience and the stage it couldn't be otherwise. It became transcendent.They will be performing in Napa Nov. 2. Hope you can go! The performers were: Paco Pena, Francisco Arriaga, Rafael Montilla Guitar Angel Munoz, Yolanda Osuna Linares, Dancers Ignacio Lopez, Percussion Immaculada Rivero, Bernardo Miranda Luno Vocals
