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.
Noche
en Triana every Sunday
at 5:30 pm. 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 every
Saturday at 7:30 pm. El Cid is excited to have Angelita back to perform
traditional Flamenco every Saturday 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, who 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.
