Saludos a Todos!
First & foremost, I would like to thank all who supported me in my return
to the tablao since my car wreck last December. It was wonderful to see
so many familiar faces and to welcome new ones to the Houston Flamenco
family. I will forever be grateful to all those who stuck by me through
this very trying & difficult time in my life. Your support, loyalty &
encouragement for me to get back on my feet meant the world to me!
Special thanks to my family...most importantly, Mama Flamenca!, because
without Mama none of this would be possible for not only me, but for so
many of us who adore flamenco!...to all of our AMAZING students...it
makes me so proud to see you LIVE flamenco...to Lucia & Val for being
our special guests at such a significant event, & to all our wonderful
aficionados & friends!
NOW on to new things!!! Cuadro La Tempestad will be back at Cafe
Byblos on Wednesday, July 29, 2009! We are very excited to be
introducing two new flamenco artists to Houston. Guillermo Serpas,
guitarrista, will be joining the Cuadro, & Marisol Monasterio will
be making her cante debut!
Please join us at Cafe Byblos on July 29th to welcome Guillermo &
Marisol to the tablao! Muchisimas gracias y abrazos a todos!
