CULB FLAMENCO
From Geno Kreis!
Club Flamenco performs contemporary European and Western music, arranged around traditional Flamencopalos or “styles.” Guitarist and Club Flamenco founder Geno Kreis is joined by April Kreis on bass. Percussionists Chrysti Smith, Doug Wales and Ben Simpson weave a tapestry of rhythms supporting the dialect. Flamenco performance is incomplete without the iconic flamenco dancer. Club Flamenco’s Nicole Loya brings years of dance experience, flair and emotion to the set.
Traditionally a community performance, Flamenco is truly complete when others enjoy the music and offer encouraging shouts of “olé!” –
