Compañia Azul

Is anybody here familiar with the group Compañia Azul from Halifax? I'm wondering about the show they are doing early next year in Edmonton.

I have been to every single show/concert by Compania Azul and all the members in the band are my friends!
the last time I saw them was in the Halifax Jazz Festival about a month ago and I took a bunch of very nice pictures of them that they now have on their facebook page

if you meet Bob Sutherby, El Tortuga, take a picture with him and share it with us here

. I garauntee that you will like Bob as a person and musician and his flamenco playing and taste!

awesome person, musician and teacher :)

the principal dancer 'Azulita" - Megan is a very passionate, great flamenco dancer and a SUPER NICE person !!

she is my favorite local dancer!
Im sure you will enjoy thier show!

and its lots of fun to hang out with them and get to know them

I just saw this show last night and I have to say it was a very good performance. They played with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra on most of their pieces (the Taranto was without the orchestra). By the looks of things, El Tortuga had his guitar repaired. The highlight for me was certainly the Seguiriya. I found it was the most moving piece of the night (as a Seguiriya should be) and it may have even given me chills.
