On this week’s program, we enjoy the music of Ven Pa’ Ca’, a flamenco ensemble based in New Orleans. The recording of this performance took place at Snug Harbor Jazz Bistro with many in the audience, including Teresa Romero Torkanowsky, the woman responsible for bringing Flamenco to New Orleans in the 1960’s.
During the program, we will meet Teresa to hear about her travels as well as the connection between Flamenco and jazz. Alongside the music, we have some ceviche with Nick Bazan at Rio Mar.
