The India-Iberia Connection
As detailed in the article “Que es flamenco?” above, the gypsies who arrived in Southern Spain in the 15th century were originally from India, and are the people largely credited with transforming the Andalucian folk arts into what we today call flamenco.
In honor of the India-Iberia connection, we will give away one gift certificate for two ($100 value) to dine at BOMBAY TALKIE to our very lucky audience member at the end of our first performance. on Tuesday, February 5.
We thank Bombay Talkie for their generous donation! To satisfy your Southeast Asian food cravings beforehand, visit Bombay Talkie at 189 Ninth Avenue, between West 21st and 22nd Streets, NYC in the hip Chelsea section of Manhattan.
