Event

Prohibido el Cante

ÂDuende! A lecture/demonstration presented by Catalina Maria Johnson and illustrated musically by ChicagoÂs own flamenco trio Idilio, on the cultural and musical elements of flamenco. The presentation will be framed in the imagery of the book âProhibido el canteâ â âSinging not permittedâ, which takes its title from a sign that could be read in many taverns during Francoâs regime in Spain, and gathers 200 photographs by 70 international authors.

Catalina Maria Johnson, Ph.D., is a writer and host/producer of radio programs for public radio.

Idilio (singer/dancer Chiara Mangiameli, guitarist Diego Alonso, and percussionist Kassandra Kocoshis) performs original contemporary flamenco music as well as innovative interpretations of traditional flamenco songs.
