"In a tribute to resilience and longevity in a post-pandemic world, Nuestro Camino celebrates Caminos Flamencos' 28-year history as one of the most prolific and eclectic flamenco companies in the U.S. Honoring Festival Flamenco Alburquerque in its own journey, Nuestro Camino features the talents of its longtime company members. Emmy winning Artistic Director Yaelisa, a second-generation flamenca, brings a performance of rich improvisatory simplicity and gratitude for a life well-lived. With the bountiful musical compositions of guitarist Jason McGuire “El Rubio,” accompanied by percussionist Marlon Aldana, three powerhouse dancers step into the waters of flamenco with their distinctive styles rooted in both the traditional and contemporary vein. With a special appearance by the extraordinary Gypsy singer from Málaga, Amparo Heredia "La Repompilla," also a second generation flamenca, Nuestro Camino is a personal, intimate journey of love and solidarity between artists."
