9th Annual Bay Area Flamenco Festival presents
An evening of Gypsy flamenco guitar and cante direct from Spain featuring
JOSE MENDEZ, MARI PEÑA & ANTONIO MOYA
José Méndez was born into the legendary Méndez clan of Gypsy flamenco singers from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. A direct descendant of La Paquera, he is the grandson of the festero “El Pili” and a cousin of Bay Area favorite, Kina Méndez. A member of Cristina Hoyo’s company for many years, José Méndez has specialized in singing for dancers. He is also an outstanding soloist with a voice that echoes La Paquera.
Mari Peña is heir to the one of Spain's most important families of Gypsy cante: Los Pinini. Her powerfully emotional singing is rooted in the traditions of her hometown Utrera, the birthplace of legendary singers such as La Fernanda & La Bernarda and El Perrate.
Antonio Moya --the preferred guitar accompanist for such luminaries of Gypsy cante as Pepa de Benito, Ines Bacan and Bernarda de Utrera-is currently one of Spain´s most important cante accompanists. His knowledge of cante and his understanding of the particularities of each region´s style is almost unrivaled.
Other Bay Area Flamenco Festival events:
October 10: Carmen Ledesma “Utrera Flamenca" at Cowell Theater Fort Mason, San Francisco
October 11: Rafael de Carmen “Flamenco Sevillano", Cowell Theater Fort Mason, San Francisco
