Born into the one of the oldest Gypsy families. Jesus was steeped in flamenco purity and power, earning him the name El Rey Del Fandangos Grande at age 7 and by age 9 he had started his professional singing career. By age 13, he had started to tour with various professional companies. He was the featured singer for the legendary Fernanda Romero, Isabel Vargas, Andres Marin, Pepe Rios, La Cipri & Manuela Salazar, Juan Ogalla, Alejandro Granados, Isabel Lopez, Omayra Amaya, Ciro, Juaquin Ruiz, Esrella Moreno, La Truco, Carmela Greco, Pepa Montes, Manolete, Jose Galvan and many more. Now a true master of the flamenco arts, Jesús is a man of overwhelming integrity who sets a paramount high standard both in self expectation and in those who work with him. In addition to his Spanish and European touring credentials, he has toured tirelessly with major flamenco companies throughout the United States and Canada to sold out audiences including: Jose Greco, Maria Benitez, La Tania, Yaelisa & Caminos Flamencos, and with the best guitarists in the United States including Chuscales, Pedro Cortes, Jason McGuire, Roberto Castellon, Ricardo Marlow, and Jose Tanaka. .In addition to being the one most respected and sought after touring flamenco singers brought to the US, he continues to perform with his own flamenco company Pureza Flamenca, widely known for putting on some of the greatest and most exciting flamenco shows worldwide. This award winning 11 member company of distinguished flamenco artists are nothing less than brilliant. Savannah Fuentes, born in Seattle to parents of Irish and Puerto Rican ancestry, discovered Flamenco in the Belltown district of Seattle years ago. Upon hearing the palmas( flamenco percussive clapping), she fell in love..She has studied with artists such as Joaquin Grilo, Belen Maya, Cristobal Reyes, and La Tati, but Savannah has spent more time in a studio on Capital Hill, where Maestra Sara de Luis teaches, than in Spain. Sara de Luis has played a critical role in Savannah's development as an artist. it is was in Sara's class that Savannah met fellow dancer Dr. Veronica Barrera. With Dr. Barrera She began to perform and learn to work with guitarists and singers. Savannah has since produced performances and organized workshops throughout Washington and Oregon, She believes that Cante is the soul of art form and should be treated with reverence and respect. Gerardo Alcala New Orleans born Flamenco guitarist Gerardo Alcala is one of the few foreigners to be respected as a full-fledged Flamenco artist by the gypsy Flamencos of Andalucia, among whom he lived the authentic Flamenco lifestyle for many years. He learned his art from the masters: Rafael el Aguila, Parrilla de Jerez, Niño Jero, Rafael Alarcón, Eduardo de la Malena, and Pedro Bacan. In the intimate closed-door sessions, or Juergas, where the pure sould of Flamenco, el Duende, can surge forth in all its savage beauty, he has spent countless hours accompanying great gypsy singers such as Agujetas, Gitano de Bronce, El Garbanzo, El Monea, Salmonete, Chato de la Isla, Dolores, Antonio, Luis, Diego, El Gordo, and Paco Agujetas, and many others. He has performed professionally in major theatres on three continents, including Carnegie Hall, as well as for television, radio and film. In the U.S. he toured extensively with the Spanish dance companies of Jose Molina and Teo Morca and did many recitals with the legendary Anzonini del Puerto. In Spain he performed with the all-gypsy company of Fernanda Romero and has had particularly long and close relationship with the Agujetas family, including Manuel Agujetas, who has preserved the deepest and purest singing in Spain. With them, he was featured as sole accompanist in the prestigious Circulo de Bellas Artes in Madrid and the Dutch film "Duende". In 1990 he was honoured to become the first North American ever to be contracted to perform as a soloist in the Bienal de Sevilla, Spain’s most important Flamenco Festival. In 1998 he accompanied Luis Agujetas on his CD “Entre tu Tierra Y La Mia”. In 2000, he appeared accompanying Luis, Diego, and Paco Aguetas in the film “El Turista Soy Yo”. In 2002 he was first guitarist at Mexico’s most important tablao “gitanerias” and did a tour of Spain and France accompanying the singer, Dolores Agujetas. Gerardo performs both as a solo guitarist and with his group, Flamenco Alcala, (a singer and one or two dancers). He is based in Vancouver, BC. Veronica has been studying the Flamenco art form for the past 20 years, with interruptions to birth two daughters and gain four academic degrees. She began her studies with Dame Libby Komaiko of the Ensemble Español in Chicago and has since studies with notable flamencos like, Ciro, La Tania, Belen Maya, and Timo Lozano. She has performed in Olympia and Seattle for the past ten years with Amorfo Flamenco and Carmona Flamenco. In 2004 she had the privilege of performing in the Seattle Opera’s production of Carmen. Locally she trains with Sara de Luis who she considers her biggest influence Tyson Kikuo Hussey has had a long and rich experience with music and theater since early childhood. After graduating from high school in 2001, he traveled to Guatemala where he was introduced to Latin and Spanish culture. Falling in love with the earthy tones of the Spanish guitar he began playing classical and fingerstyle. After 6 months of living and traveling extensively through Guatemala and Mexico with his guitar and little money, he decided to return home. Upon finding a CD of la Fernanda y la Bernarda de Utrera live in Paris with Paco del Gastor he fell in love with the sound of flamenco. In 2003 he found a home in the enchanted Moorish city of Granada, living in a small apartment in the Realejo in front of the taller of none other than famous guitar maker Rafael Moreno and a block from the shop of Manuel Bellido. There his true studies began, learning from singer Alfredo Tejada, guitarist Luis Milan, and studying intensively under Marcos Garcia "Palometas", Antonio Heredia " El Chonico", Paco Cortes, cantaor Jaime "el Parron" (father of Marina Heredia), Juan Habichuela Nieto and Emilio Maya among others. A year later he moved to Sevilla and enrolled in the world-renowned Cristina Heeren Foundation of Flamenco and was given the opportunity to study with teachers such as Raul Cantizano, Tino Van der Sman, Manolo de la Luz, Eduardo Rebollar, and to accompany singers such as Laura Vital and Jose de la Tomasa. He lived for many years in Sevilla, while practicing one day by the Guadalquivir river he was approached by dancer Bernardo de Barros and invited to move to Barcelona to perform with his group, Anarko flamenco. He moved to Barcelona to work and continue his studies of music and art. He has performed in various venues from the Pacific Northwest to fine establishments throughout Europe. With credits that include opening for the prime minister of the European Union in the maritime museum on the island of Malta, and accompanying the famous turkish flamenco singer Berk Gurman.
