Flamenco a las 8 with Melissa Cruz and Kalifeña Start Date: Saturday 9/13/2025 — End Date: Saturday 9/13/2025 Admission:$32 – $44 An Evening of Music and Dance with Melissa Cruz and Kalifeña The dynamism and allure of flamenco come alive on stage in an evening of dance and music with Melissa Cruz. Joined by her cast of seasoned professionals and dedicated studio dancers, Cruz presents a diverse program of dances, expressing the full spectrum of human emotion. This performance of Flamenco a las 8 features Kalifeña, a music and dance ensemble directed by Cruz, inspired by an idea to unite voices of women who, despite their diverse backgrounds, have a thread of commonality between them – the study of flamenco, the art form from Andalucía, Spain deemed by UNESCO as a treasure of World Cultural Heritage. Kalifeña melds original compositions and traditional flamenco styles with flamenco dance as its cornerstone. Be moved by an intense and passionate evening of Bay Area flamenco culture with its zeal for community, respect for the art form, and deep emotion, hallmarks of this beautiful tradition that continue to generate new inspiration for itself and its audiences. “Any dancer could make pained faces. But Cruz is clearly possessed by the duende — the spirit that drives this deeply introspective art.” -Rachel Howard, SF Chronicle Schedule 8:00pm – 10:00pm – Performance Kalifeña is: Melissa Cruz – dance and percussion Caro Acuña Olvera – vocals and percussion Luna Alonso – vocals and cello Bob San – guitar and bass Jesse Torre – guitar Katiana Vilá – vocals and percussion Location: 2513 Blanding Ave Alameda Alameda Contact: Rhythmix Cultural Works info@rhythmix.org URL: https://www.rhythmix.org/events/flamenco-a-las-8-sept-2025/
