In Celebration of World Flamenco Day,
Join Us for a Free Flamenco Event!
Sunday, November 28th, 2pm at Halifax Central Library
"We should always recognise that the beauty of Spain is not serene, is not soft, not restful -- it is ardent, burning, excessive, sometimes unpredictable;
a beauty which, blinded by its own splendour
'knocks its head against the wall.'"
Federico Garcia Lorca
In celebration of World Flamenco Day please join us this Sunday, November 28th, 2PM at Halifax central library for “A Flamenco Afternoon”.
Enjoy some exciting dance and musical performances by artists of the Maria Osende Flamenco Company. The audience will also have the opportunity to participate in some interactive sessions to learn about some ancient flamenco rhythms and how to create them.
On November 16th, 2010, UNESCO formally recognised Flamenco as one of the Masterpieces of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. One year later, World Flamenco Day was created to celebrate this date. Since then, every year all around the world, we celebrate Flamenco and its importance in Andalusian culture and in a broader context its irreplaceable contribution to world culture.
