Compás Flamenco

Raised in Andalusi­a and based in Madrid, Miguel was shaped by flamenco in the way a mother-tongue shapes a speaker. An ancient musical form rooted presumably in India, flamenco evolved with the mixture of cultures that called the Iberian peninsula home —  Arabs, Jews, Gypsy, Hispanics Africans and eventually Americans as well. This heterogenous mix of cultures is why flamenco’s rhythms are sophisticated, playful, groovy, and electrifying. Miguel will give students keys to understanding these rhythms on cajón, palmas (hand-clapping) and other instruments.
