Cafe Flamenco: Fiesta Navidena

The groundbreaking company Caminos Flamencos is one of the leading and most innovative flamenco troupes on the West Coast. Led by Emmy award–winning artistic director Yaelisa and virtuoso guitarist and musical director Jason McGuire, aka “El Rubio,” the group blends flamenco, Latin and jazz in music and dance with a cast of world-class artists from around the country who are rooted in a variety of musical genres.

Lauded for their new original show Nuevas Tendencias — which the group performed at Rhythmix in August 2015 — the troupe has received numerous accolades, including a prestigious Izzie Dance Award nomination for best show and best company. They have performed at Yoshi’s, Angelica’s, the New Parish and the Mildred Owen Concert Hall, among many other venues.

In addition to McGuire, the band features Marlon Aldana on percussion and Paul Martin Sounder on upright bass. As one of the most prolific flamenco troupes in the United States, Caminos Flamencos performs for television, orchestra symphonies, film, opera, and festivals. They collaborate with a wide range of artists from all genres, including jazz, Latin, rock, blues, classical and folk, as well as some of the best flamenco artists from around the world.
