June 9 - 11, 2016 9:00-11:00 PM Pasion Y Arte: Tablao Philly at Asian Arts Initiative

TABLAO PHILLY
June 9 - 11 9:00-11:00 PM
Asian Arts Initiative
1219 Vine Street
Philadelphia, PA

Absolutely delighted that beautiful Xianix Barrera will be joining us again for the June TABLAO PHILLY. Xianix has toured with Noche Flamenca and performed with many flamenco stars. She is also a teacher as well as a teaching artist for Ballet Hispanico.
“Xianix Barrera in a Solea por Buleria...This lady can literally rock the house. Before she discovered flamenco, this talented dancer was a percussionist. That skill was apparent in her deep understanding of rhythms and reflected in her mastery of compás. She is a remarkable artist ... she deserves to be recognized for the fierce diva she is.”
-Maya de Silva, Flamenco Buzz

Reminiscent of the cafe like environment of the 18th and 19th century tablaos of Spain, TABLAO PHILLY will recreate for the first time in Philadelphia a contemporary tablao experience. Originally tablaos were comparable to beat poetry cafes or improvisational jazz clubs, where diverse audiences would gather to drink, eat and enjoy music, rhythm, and movement by masters of the flamenco art form in an informal atmosphere of merriment. Philadelphia audiences will have the unique opportunity to participate in this classic experience as the intimate black box theater of the Asian Arts Initiative is transformed into a tablao where they will enjoy wine and tapas as they witness some of today's most respected and well known flamencos exhibit their craft.

PyA is excited to continue TABLAO PHILLY into 2016 and to bring new flamenco guest artists from both Spain and the United States to Philadelphia. Visit the PyA website for upcoming guest artist announcements.
