Sol Y Luna Reunion Concert

 

After ten years the San Francisco based flamenco group ÒSol Y LunaÓ is back to celebrate their reunion with a very special Òall starÓ line-up of international musicians and dancers. The reunion concert takes place on Friday November 16, 2007 at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, CA.

 

San Francisco CA – CALENCO IS BACK!!!

 

The insistent, pulse-pounding rhythms of Sol Y LunaÕs ÒCalencoÓ, California Flamenco, as the group calls it, combines Flamenco and salsa montuno driven by blazing Afro-Cuban percussion.

 

Reuniting on November 16th are some of the most famous and talented musicians in northern California. Leading the groupÕs reunion is Spanish flamenco guitarist vocalist Jose Manuel Blanco ÒEl GrilluÓ. Joining ÒEl GrilluÓ are guitarist Don Fontowitz, congero vocalist Edgardo Cambon, bassist David Belove, flutist saxophonist Melecio Magdaluyo, Percussionist Michael Spiro, Violinist Anthony Blea, flutist John Calloway and percussionist Danilo Paiz. Making a special guest appearance is flamenco guitarist Jason McGuire ÒEl RubioÓ and flamenco dancers Yaelisa, Fani Ara and Melissa Cruz of Caminos Flamencos.

 

Presenting the reunion is guitarist vocalist “KAWEH” whose ensemble opens up the night with their own exotic blends of rumba flamenca, Latin, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern styles. On stage, Sol Y Luna’s Edgardo Cambon accompanies Cuban guitarist vocalist Kenia Rodriguez, bassist Mark Kraft, Latin percussionist Louie Flores Jr. and Middle Eastern percussionist Dror Sinai from Israel. KAWEH is joined by “SANDRA”, dancing the seductive art of Belly Dance to select compositions and the Brazilian percussion group "Samba Mundial" led by Brad Hamilton.
