Flamenco Puro Brings Body Balance to Life APR 27
The performance of "Sonidos de Sevilla" brought the lucky crowd that gathered last Sunday evening to life! The highly animated and dominating figure of Roberto Zamora provided a powerful, floor resonating sonata while dancer Drea Peacot responded to Zamora's Becons with a clash of her own, her's coming from her feet as she danced the invigorating back to back Flamenco sets. When Roberto and Drea weren't dancing with vigor the highly talented Gopal Slavonic, dressed in a demographic appropriate top hat, suite, and sleak tie strummed the guitar with precise timing as Roberto swooned the crowd (especially the women) with a talent that only a Spaniard can produce. The intermission free 1 hour 20 minute performance left us all gasping for breathe on the hottest day of 2008, but when the performers got up to bid their adieus the crowd quickly responded with an angst for an ENCORE! which was gratiously met and satisfied our Flamenco tastebuds... at least for the evening.
