“A COMPÁS!”
Paco Peña, through “A Compás!” brings the true spirit of flamenco to Ogden and audiences all over the world. As guitarist, composer, dramatist and mentor, Peña builds inventively
on the deep foundations of flamenco. His imagination, dedication and skill constantly renew this archetypal Spanish art form. He expands its horizons yet never loses touch with its visceral emotion. A New York Times dance critic hailed “A Compás!” for “the range and depth of artistry on display, from Mr. Peña’s quiet but fierce leadership at the guitar to the regal, smoldering dancing of Ángel Muñoz.”
The Idan Raichel Project is an Israeli musical collaborative that has achieved success by looking beyond intercultural differences and celebrating the value of diversity. Led by keyboardist, composer and producer Idan Raichel, the project blends traditional Ethiopian folk music, Arabic poetry, Yemenite chants, Biblical psalms and Caribbean rhythms with sophisticated production techniques, resulting in an unparalleled musical phenomenon. While recent headlines have been dominated by news of conflict and war in the Middle East, the Idan Raichel Project offers a message of love and tolerance that resonates strongly in a world in turmoil.
