DUENDE - the spirit of inspiration

DUENDE - an invocation to the spirit of flamenco through
dance and storytelling


by SARA CANDELA at KULTURAs books in Tenleytown
Thursday November 18th at 8pm

Sara Candela will perform and tell the story of Spain's flamenco
dance & music genesis as the convergence of African, Eastern
and European cultures.

"DUENDE" is the Spaniard's word for "flow" as an expression
of inspiration and creativity and its appearance in our everyday
lives.
