REVIEW OF Compañía Rafaela Carrasco Courtesy of New York Buzz

By Maya De Silva Chafe

Rafaela Carrasco ~ Vamos al Tiroteo, Sunday, March 4th:

NEW YORK: The highlight of this show was the really interesting choices that Rafaela made. Although the Lorca canciones selected are part of the deepest Spanish identity and were beautifully interpreted by Gema Caballero and Manuel Gago, Rafaela’s direction gave us surprise after surprise. From the four men in silver bata de colas, to the intricate lighting design, to the use of the 10 foot fringe curtain “set” (by Elisa Sanz) for entrances and exits that are vertical (in relationship to the proscenium) as opposed to the normal horizontal, to the grainy recordings she used as inspiration for her pataitas in her shiny black traje corto.

Again winning me over Gago sang Vamos al Tiroteo (the title piece) to the melody of Petenera, a palo seco, mano a mano with Rafaela in her traje corto, backing her slowly across the stage, all while she is executing ever more fantastic rhythmic variations of footwork. Speaking of traje cortos, I fell in love four times in this show, with every single one of the bailaores. All with excellent proportions, strength, skills and each one more beautiful than the last. First I enjoyed the quiet and elegant mastery of Pedro Cortes, then I noticed the gorgeous eyes and cheekbones of David Coria, THEN I became completely enamored of the way Jose Maldonado moved his torso, with a feline beauty and control.

While Rafaela’s skills are absolutely formidable, the boys stole my heart with their skill and attack, but especially in the case of el Barbaso (that MUST be Ricardo Lopez) with the way he was absolutely enjoying himself! Jesus Torres, El Cano and the other musicians did an excellent job arranging and composing music for this also highly theatrical show. Congratulations Rafaela, you are fantastic!

Once a year I get a chance to host an afterparty during Boston's Flamenco Festival. This year it was for Compañía Rafaela Carrasco.
It was FABULOUS! (The food wasn't bad either! :P )

About the book:
Lola’s sister Clementina is good at everything. Lola wants to be good at something too — something that Clementina can’t do. Then she finds her Mom’s dancing shoes. Could she learn to dance? Could she surprise her family — and herself?

From start to finish,Lola’s Fandango is a family affair! The story is narrated by the Cambridge, MA based Amador Family, who also performs the lively flamenco music throughout the story. Written by Anna Witte and illustrated by Micha Archer, the book’s colorful pages inspire little ones to dance and dream along with Lola. An engaging story for children and parents that will keep them reading (and dancing) to the very last page.

In addition to an English version with storytime CD, Lola is also available in Spanish with storytime CD.
