Onda Jerez Radio

In addition to providing internet access to their television programs, Onda Jerez provides radio broadcasts as well.

The guide to radio programming on their site can be found here. You can access the real-time radio broadcast on any page of the website by clicking on the "Radio Emisión on-line" button on the left side. It doesn't appear to work with Mozilla but is not a problem with Explorer.

The series Los Caminos del Cante is an hour of flamenco music and discussion that is broadcast every weeknight from 9:00 - 10:00pm Edmonton time.

The program also has it's own website full of all sorts of goodies. From the página audivisual you can also listen to some of the past broadcasts and even download them for free.

UPDATE: The show is also on from 1:00 - 2:00pm. It appears it's not always on in the evening.

Isabel Bayón


So unfortunately this isn't in Edmonton, but it's still a great Canadian opportunity that Esmeralda Enriques asked me to pass on. This summer, between June 30th and July 5th the Academy of Spanish Dance will be holding a Summer Intesive with Isabel Bayón. The fees are very reasonable, so if you've got someone to visit in Toronto, it's a great time to do it! Click here for the advertisement.

Flamenco drinks - Mar 22 '08

Come meet your Flamenco friends & neighbours!

A group of us are planning to meet up for drinks &/ food from about 7-9 on Sat. March 22 at the New York Bagel Cafe.

You can RSVP to flamencoedmonton-at-telus.net, RSVP on Facebook (event is called "Flamenco drinks") or just drop by. Partners/friends are welcome. If you're coming with a few people you might want to reserve a table as it's such a small restaurant.

Potential show/workshop in Sept.

Annette Morcos in Calgary is looking to bring artists from Seville for a show in Sept. Since it is much easier to bring things like this to Canada if we share them between cities, there is the possibility of bringing the show to Edmonton and a potential for a workshop as well.

I am wondering if this conflicts with any other plans in the works for Sept. and if anyone is interested in assisting on the Edmonton side of things. Please email me at

flamenca at mail dot com

if you know of a flamenco related conflict or if you are interested in being involved.

thanks
Jane
