<DIV CLASS="_1mf _1mj"><SPAN>This is one of a series of concerts produced by Arts Canteen aims to highlight this connection and build on it with original compositions and renditions of melodies from Andalucia and the Arab World that shows the common thread that runs through these traditions. </SPAN></DIV>

<DIV CLASS="_1mf _1mj"><SPAN>Flamenco music was born, and still lives, among the scenic green hills of Andalusia in southern Spain, however, some performers have moved beyond both the geographical and the stylistic boundaries of traditional flamenco to incorporate a variety of new styles into their work. </SPAN></DIV>

</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV CLASS="_1mf _1mj"><SPAN>Other performers have turned inward, searching for the obscure origins of flamenco, in hope of inspiration. What they have found are pervasive Arab influences, touching everything from the style of performance to the very rhythms and scales of the songs themselves. And what they have produced as a result is a fusion of Spanish and Arab traditions that is both interesting and inspirational.</SPAN></DIV>
