Artist Roderick Smith will create a painting on canvas live on stage while the flamenco concert is underway. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to enjoy the passionate flurry of flamenco and paint as they whirl simultaneously before your eyes.
Por pintar a una mujer
A un loco le dio la manía
Por pintar a una mujer
Y cuando pintá la tenía
Le puso un letrero a los pies
“Ya me tienes como tú querías”*To paint a woman
A crazy man was given the notion
To paint a woman
And once he had the painting finished,
He placed a sign at her feet…
“Now you have me as you have always wanted”
This one-of-a-kind performance also features a rare Los Angeles appearance by special guest cajonero/palmero/festero Luis de la Tota from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. The full line-up includes visual artist Roderick Smith, dancers Manuel Guiterrez and Oscar Valero, guitarist Ethan Margolis, singer Antonio de Jerez, and upright bassist John Leftwich.
