Lugo's Brisas de España Flamenco Dance Company presents the Miño
Family in "FLAMENCO EN CONCIERTO". Carolina Lugo has invited
an international cast of artists to take her audience on a journey of
timeless travel to Spain for a night of love, high energy and passion,
to celebrate Brisas de España's 8th Concert Season. The traditions
of Spanish and Flamenco dance, song and music are deeply rooted in families,
passed from one generation to the next. This year she is proud to present
"SONIDOS DE DOS FAMILIAS". The
critically acclaimed Miño Family performs in concert throughout
Europe, Asia, South America and at the leading, most prestigious Flamenco
festival in Spain, "La Bienal de Flamenco" in Seville. The husband
and wife duet of Ricardo Miño and Pepa Montes founded their Dance
Company, "Flamenco en Concierto " in 1979. They have been featured
and honored guest artists at La Bienal for 25 years since its inception
in 1980.
Pepa
Montes, is an exquisite dancer, choreographer and is described by the
critics as... "elegant, without rigidities, dominating the stage
with corporal expression of her hands, arms and facial expressions"....The
musicality of her feet "puts a note of color in the footwork of whatever
rhythm she is dancing". She was born in Las Cabezas de San Juan,
Sevilla. Pepa began her flamenco training at the early age of seven .
Her talent was soon recognized by her teachers and mentors, Pepe Marchena,
Pepe Pinto and Flamenco greats such as Juan Talega and Antonio Mairena,
who began including her in their concerts at a very early age. Pedro
Ricardo Mino, is the son of Pepa Montes and Ricardo Mino. He was born
in Sevilla in the Bario de Triana in 1979, destined to join the many luminaries
of the Flamenco world with his enormous gift and musical genius. He was
presented in his first public piano concert in Sevilla, at the tender
age of four. His training and formation took place in the family and at
the Conservatory of Music in Sevilla. He has toured and played in various
prestigious theaters in Spain, such as the Teatro Manuel de Falla de Cadiz,
Gran Teatro de Cordoba and the Noches de la Villa de Madrid, to name a
few. He has toured parts of Europe and the United States as a soloist
and with his parents company, "Flamenco en Concierto".
Jesus
Montoya (Guest Singer) was born in Seville, Spain into a Gypsy family
steeped in flamenco tradition. His energetic stage presence and unforgettable
voice have earned him the name" El Genio Gitano" (The Gypsy
Dynamo). The Los Angeles Times has declared him the "Pavarotti of
Flamenco". Mr. Montoya has toured the United States as a guest artist
with Maria Benitez, La Tania and Zorongo Flamenco Dance Company. He has
appeared with Rosa Montoya Bailes Flamencos, Carolina Lugo's Brisas de
España, Caminos Flamencos and Omayra Amaya. He is Co-Director of
his Academy of Spanish Fine Arts in San Diego. Mr. Montoya has recorded
several CD albums and Hollywood commercials. This is his third guest appearance
with Brisas de España.
Gino
D'Auri (Guest Guitarist) was born in Rome and has toured the World many
times with many of the greatest Flamenco Artists of the 20th Century.
He is an accomplished concert artist and composer and has recorded several
CD albums for Hearts of Space/World Class Records as well as for many
Hollywood films. He trained in Flamenco and Classical music in his native
country and traveled to Spain to continue his studies. He has been featured
in numerous concerts with many of the leading Flamenco Dance Companies
in the United States. He plays in a style that moves the heart and cuts
to the very soul of the music. Gino, says "For me, the music is a
limitless expression of improvisation and the need to express feelings
about every day life... When you improvise you can't allow yourself to
think about anything other than the feeling of the moment. That is where
great music comes from." This is his second guest appearance with
Brisas de España. Carolé Acúña (Principal Dancer) is the daughter of Carolina Lugo and a fifth generation dancer in her family. She is a gifted artist and an accomplished performer. She began her training in Flamenco at the age of 11 with Rosa Montoya, Carolina Lugo, Manuel Betanzos, José Galvan, Omayra Amaya, Concha Vargas, Antonio Vargas and in Spanish, Classical and Regional Dance with Ms. Lugo. She is one of the most prominent young Flamenco and Spanish dance artists on the West Coast. At 15 years old, she made her professional debut with Rosa Montoya's Bailes Flamencos Dance Company and toured Northern California with them in 1997. She performs regularly with Brisas de España as a Principal Dancer at venues throughout California, Nevada and as a soloist with other Bay Area Flamenco artists. She is thoroughly trained in Ballet and Modern Dance and continues to study with Cheryl Chaddick in San Francisco. Carolé has just returned from a six month stay in Seville, Spain, where she studied extensively with renowned Flamenco Artist, Pepa Montes.
