“Flamenco Rhythm Workshop” with John Martin III of Cerro Negro
Sunday, February 3, noon-2pm
This workshop will focus on Flamenco Rhythm and Compas.  To express our rhythm we will be using Cajon, Palmas, Vocalization, Footwork, and any instrument you bring with you.  This is intended for beginners and advanced levels.  The Cajon will be the basis of our discussion and execution of the various Flamenco rhythms.  You are encouraged to bring your own instrument.  We will cover Bulerias, Tango, Sevillanas, Rumba, as well as Solea, and Alegrias.  This will be a hands/feet-on workshop.
