Juerga - and farewell to Irena Dumicz

Flamenco students, teachers, artists and aficionados are invited to join us for the next flamenco jam on Friday October 19th at 8:00.  Irena Dumicz is leaving Edmonton for a new adventure at the end of the month so come on out and enjoy a flamenco night with her before she leaves.

Bring your palmas, short dance steps, full choreographies, letras, falsetas ... some or all of the above ... but mostly your energy!

For all you singers, a reminder that Nyles would be happy to have a preview of any letras that people want to share so he can get a head start on accompanying them.

Beginner student?  Come and meet other community members and practise your palmas.

The cost is $5 each.  All are welcome. Same location as last time (note the new time!), please rsvp to Jane  (janeogilvie at mail dot com)

Flamenco Classes with Jane Ogilvie

There you will find information about my background, teaching philosophy, classes and the upcoming session beginning October 12th.

Letras website

Thanks to Flamenco Regina's new website, I have just come across an incredible website resource for letras.

http://www.bottegaflamenca.it

Under "per tutti" (for everyone) on the left hand side, there are two links:

"Repertorio Flamenco" - links to some pages already listed here on flamencoedmonton and, when you scroll down, it also lists letras grouped by melody. If you click on the name of each singer (in green) it will take you to the audio of the letra listed below it.

"Discografia Flamenca" - links to a list of CDs.  Click on the titles and you can open a word document with all of the letras.
