Pasion y Arte First Friday Performances/Juerga!!! First Friday of the Month 7pm - 11:30 pm at Bar Ferdinand
A juerga is a kind of flamenco jam session where there is no distinction between audience and performers and everyone takes part, supporting each other in collective playing, singing, and dancing. During particularly inspired moments, participants shout out “Olé!” encouraging each other with rhythmic handclapping called “palmas.” 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.
Bring your castanets and instruments and join in! This is a child-friendly event! Three 20 minute sets 7, 9, & 10:30pm.
Reservations for dinner recommended: 215-923-1313
There is a large bar area where you can have a drink and watch the performance! For more information please visit http://www.pasionyarte.com
