TABLAO - Flamenco de Norte a Sur (EE/ES/FI)

Friday,  August 22, 9 p.m. at Philly Joe's Jazz Club

¡TABLAO! is flamenco in its most authentic improvisational and spontaneous form. It is a concept where any ensemble of musicians and dancers can meet in one evening and present the audience with a mix of complex rhythms, beautiful melodies and captivating dance from distant Andalusia. The special guests of the August 22nd concert will be the wonderful Spanish artists Pablo Egea and Monica Clavijo!
