Mikaela Kai Flamenco
SPAIN Sueño de Libertad
Mikaela Kai Flamenco’s 16th Recital
Don’t miss the outstanding performance of native Barcelona flamenco artists, Paco Arroyo and Yolanda Arroyo. Paco’s virtuoso playing guitar and Yolanda’s heart-moving dancing, singing and transcendental technique in castanets will surely fascinate all audiences with a standing ovation. Three talented local flamenco dancers and MKF’s dancers and musicians will also be featured in the show.
This year’s theme is “Spain.” Flamenco is a folk art form that originated in the Andalusia region of southern Spain, and the Romani, a migratory people, played a major role in its history and development. As an art form created by wandering peoples through a fusion of various music and rhythms, it resonates with a diverse range of people, bringing familiarity, nostalgia and melancholy; in 2010, it was included in UNESCO’s list of Spain’s Intangible Cultural Heritage. MKF is honored to be able to present this wonderful culture on stage through the art of flamenco, an art they feel passionately about. Enjoy a wide range of flamenco performances, from brilliant dances with castanets, fans and mantons, which are typical flamenco accessories, to cante and guitar performances! Immerse yourself in the passion of flamenco and free your spirit at this recital.

Opening reception for Fluid Dynamics-Angels Gate
2025-07-26 13:00 - 16:00 | Angels Gate Cultural Center, 3601 S. Gaffey St, San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
Artists from Los Angeles and New Orleans examine the mutability and movement of identity, ideology, information, and spirituality.
Curation
Katherine Shanks
Works by
Hannah Chalew, Ben Cuevas, Leslie Foster, Felicita Felli Maynard, Renee Royale, Nancy Voegeli-Curran, Demi Hanad Ward, Sterling Wells
Los Angeles and New Orleans are two metropolitan areas deeply influenced by their relationships with water, albeit in very different ways: Los Angeles navigates its scarcity while New Orleans grapples with its abundance. Both also have long and complicated histories with oil—its extraction, the environmental and public health effects of that process, and impact on the economy and transportation systems in each region. Their inhabitants experience fluidity in more personal ways. We are constantly using liquid metaphors to express the mutability and movement of identity, ideology, information, and spirituality.
