Caroline Planté: 8reflexiones March 9, 2012

$20 general admission
$15 students/members of: Instituto Cervantes, Arte y Vida Chicago, and Flamenco Arts Center; Seniors. Limited seating.

Introduced to flamenco guitar at an early age by her father, Montreal-born Caroline Planté is one of the rare women who plays flamenco guitar professionally. Since 2005, she travels between Montreal and Madrid where she also is the musical director,
composer and interpreter of Madrid based company Cruceta Flamenco. Her 8reflexiones, a debut after 17 years of experience of onstage and compositional experience, is an absolute success: it is the first flamenco album entirely composed and performed by a female guitarist. Integrating jazz and even electronica into her sound, Planté with renowned Madrid choreographer, dancer and percussionist Mariano Cruceta offers us an intimate taste of this singular music along with the DJ J.Godino and flamenco singer Pedro Obregon.
