Manuel Torre - - - The singer of the black sounds.
(Article by Alfonso Cid)

(Manuel Soto Loreto. Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz), 1878-Sevilla, 1933)

I’m going through a phase in which I can only listen to Manuel Torre. Every time I listen to his recordings
I find a new reason to go back to him, a new turn of his voice that I didn’t notice before. The lack of high
fidelity in those recordings doesn’t bother me at all because Manuel Torre was one of the most enigmatic
figures of flamenco history... Read more here

REVIEW OF GENERACIONES

By Special Correspondent to Flamenco Buzz: Irma "La Paloma"

SAN ANTONIO, TX: Producer and dancer Tamara Saj saw her vision come to life in “Generaciones” this past June 26th and 27th, at the Jo Long Carver Theater in San Antonio, Texas. Inspired by her poem “Mi Madre, Mis Manos” and her desire to contribute to the flamenco community Saj tended to all details of a production which united art and ages. Generaciones featured artists from youth to maturity in flamenco dance and music of varied rhythms, styles and artistry. At the helm were Timo Lozano and Teo Morca who left no doubt that they are indeed masters. It is evident that these grand gentlemen of flamenco enjoy their art and expertise and thereby set us free to enjoy right along with them.

Left to Right...Timo Lozano, Teo Morca

Lozano was engaging with elegant poise and flawless rhythm por alegrías. He was joined by Francisco Orozco “Yiyi” in “Ritmos,” a dexterous cajón piece where Don Timo played and danced simultaneously, culminating in a solo de pies in full display of his mastery. Morca’s rendition of “La Boda de Luis Alonzo” flowed with artistry and joy. He smiled as he played mesmerizing castanets with ease and moved with finesse in full dance motion. The echo of temple set the mood for “Memorias,” when in confident and skillful fashion, Don Teo danced por siguiriyas.


Left to right...Solangel “Lali” Calix , Francisco Orozco “Yiyi, ”José Perello, Tamara Saj

Solangel “Lali” Calix glowed with splendor in “Aire,” fandangos de Huelva. Calix is a graceful and experienced dancer and castanet player. In the whimsical cantiñas, “Las Dos Hermanas,” Calix played the elder sister who reprimands Saj for her mischievous antics. While keeping in theme, their complicity was relevant of their dance careers as Calix was one of Saj’s teachers.

The musical support was provided by Francisco Orozco “Yiyi,” cante and percussion, and José Perello, guitar. Once again echoing the production’s theme, these talented and experienced artists of different ages graciously complimented each other as well as the dancers they accompanied. Perello’s “Tanguillos” and Yiyi’s “Toma que Toma” were featured in the second act.

Dancing her adaptation of an original choreography by Teo Morca, Tamara Saj displayed her artistry with intensity and individuality in Isaac Albéniz’s “Asturias-Leyenda.” In the second act, Saj’s soleares were emotive in delivery and composition. Whether in production, dance or entrepneurship, there is more to come from Saj as it is her desire to continue to be an active contributor to the arts community in San Antonio.


Left ~ Student recital group Right ~ Fin de la Fiesta

Clad in colorful and tailored costuming the young dancers of Fandango, under the direction of Sonya Jimenez, performed two group dances, “Duende,”choreographed by Timo Lozano and “Concierto de Aranjuez,” choreographed by Carmen Linares “Chiqui.” In “Duende,”Sonya, an experienced and skilled dancer, closed with beautiful mantón technique.

As the featured artists and company gathered for the final montaje por bulerías, Generaciones left us with joy and hope, reiterating that through study, dedication and collaboration, flamenco will continue to make its presence as a discipline of art and world genre for future generations.
