During particularly inspired moments\, participants shout out “Olé!” encouraging each other with rhythmic handclapping called “palmas.” The atmosphere and camaraderie a juerga creates are much like that of a southern American gospel service and a “juerga flamenca” can easily attain the proportions of a religious ritual.The unique component in Pasión y Arte’s juergas is that the invitation to participate is open to all genres of music\, singing\, dance\, and spoken word. The goal is to create new flamenco languages from different traditions. Special guest musicians and dancers – both professional flamencos\, students\, aficionados\, artists from other Latino and non-Latino traditions – are invited to each juerga.\n______________________________\nThis Event Downloaded From a Helios Calendar Powered Site LOCATION:The Arts Parlor - 1170 S.
