Near East Flamenco: La Ruya
March 30, 2013 @ 7:30 pm - 10:00 pm
$10 – $15
NEAR EAST FLAMENCO at RED POPPY!
Sounds of Andalusia woven in with the Black Sea, the modes, movement and tonalities of flamenco with Arabic and Turkish maqam, all grounded in a latin jazz pulse – this is La Ruya, a new direction in “flamenco fusion.” At the heart of the band lay the meeting of oud with guitar, and in turn of both with the dance. Kinetic and expressive, La Ruya is delighted to once again perform at the Mission’s one of a kind art house, the Red Poppy.

Gary Haggerty – Oud
Rebecca Kleinmann – flute
Melissa Cruz – Baile & Palmas
