El Cid,
continuing its celebration of 50 years of Flamenco dinner theatre, presents Flamenco Dinner Theatre every
Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. El Cid, the venerable Spanish-inspired restaurant and
live music venue, located in Los Angeles’ Silver Lake Sunset Junction
neighborhood brings these
highly exciting performances filled with dynamic rhythms from internationally and
locally recognized artists.
Benjamin Woods Flamenco, known for highly entertaining shows and ability to
connect with the audience, have been performing and teaching Flamenco on the
west coast for over 15 years. Flamenco dancer, Arleen Hurtado, is
a touring flamenco dancer who has traveled the world dancing in theaters across
the United States, Middle East, Spain and China. Appearing on TV shows and
commercials, Hurtado has been seen on American Idol, The Ellen Degeneres Show
and America’s Got Talent.

Noche
en Triana features
Antonio Triana and special guests. The cuadro flamenco forms on stage against a
backdrop of drumming handclaps, a voice moans the cante jondo, that pure
essence of Andalusian song. Dancers strike the tablao with thundering footwork.
Tension mounts as the performers unleash their fiery improvisations to the
compelling rhythms of the guitar. This is the native art of Triana, where
flamenco has a long tradition, where rhythm is life.

Angelita
Concierto Flamenco
is an El Cid original. El Cid is excited to have Angelita back to perform
traditional Flamenco where members of her Flamenco dance company will join her
as well as a very special guest, one of the original owners of El Cid, Juan
Talavera. Talavera will perform with Angelita once a month for incredible
evenings of memorable Flamenco. Angelita also welcomes a new singer, Guillermo
Gonzalez from Sevilla. Witness the classic style of pure
flamenco dance while enjoying sangria and authentic Spanish tapas.
