At the vanguard of flamenco in BC for more than four decades, our approach is integrates flamenco dance, music, song and culture so everyone can enjoy, grow and appreciate the art of flamenco.
At the heart of Mozaico Flamenco is our philosophy that flamenco is truly a global art form that inspires diverse people from all walks of life. We are a welcoming, supportive community in which there is room for everyone, whatever their age, shape or background.
No Morris dancing here, but we are definately Spanish dancing, Flamenco dancing and some Asian fusions happening with the silk fans and fantails for fun.
Love how your show/performance in educational and informative everything else, props, beautiful costumes choreo and music is a plus. Thank you. You all are great. Keep it going Happy New Year. FYI also love your message of inclusion.❤
Such a beautiful video! Thank you for putting this together. It's amazing to hear the stories of Veronica and Harry (and Gareth!) about their flamenco journey and how much they've inspired many of us on the path of flamenco! <3
Thank you for this Kasandra ! I knew so little of Peter and what he did for flamenco in Vancouver even though I’ve “known” him for years ; I’ve always liked it when he came to the class , learned always from him
Thanks Cristina! In the scope of the history of flamenco, we had 1950 Angel Monzon who was bailarin (orchestra, trained danza española, Latín American folk dance, Spanish folk dance), then with Oscar Rosario Veronica in the 1980s with flamenco shows (many shows with 2 singers, 2 guitarists, 2-3 dancers and perhaps a company). Peter started the scrappy, small flamenco to start his own thing at Kino and that is how we all knew cuadro flamenco. We all lived this! Then it became the new normal!
@@MozaicoFlamencoDancewow , so much history and evolution! Thank for being the Vancouver Flamenco Historian, it’s invaluable knowledge you are sharing . Material worth a documentary , maybe , one day 🤔
It is the way the guitar tunes up. Most bulerias, spb you are hearing are por medio. Then when they play solea, it's a different tuning. Most of the ladies Jafelin, Cyrena, etc are singing por medio. Once in a while when we have to sing with Oscar or Emad, then we switch to por arriba. It's kinda a guitar thang...see it live with Peter and Gary!!!!
In this case, A is not a tonic, it is dominant A7b9. the tonic would be D minor and Andalusian cadence unlike western chord progression does not have to start with tonic but you can if you want.
Well, our point is that usually flamenco students don't know how to tune up their voices. It's fine when there is a professional singer there and people are singing along, but how to teach western students of flamenco to tune up? If they tune up, they would have to be able to find that note themselves. Then usually flamenco will start on 1, 4 or 5. That being said, once they do those basics of course a letra can start on other notes like 3 or 6, but it is kind of irregular. Anyway, thanks for the chat about it. We might have to chat with a guitarist with you...
