Acclaimed flamenco ensemble Fin de Fiesta brings Spanish inspiration to Canadian soil with their Summer/Fall 2017 Canadian Tour. Comprised of award-winning artists from Canada, France and Italy, the electrifying music and dance ensemble will bring stages to life nationwide, with their spirited new production, LIÁNDOLA. Friday August 25th at the Finlandia Hall Doors open 7:30 Show starts at 8:00 Tickets $25, available at Fireweed, the Hoito, Calico, and the door. Tickets also available online at the above link. Cash bar. All ages welcome. For this performance only, Fin de Fiesta will be joined by master flamenco guitarist and Thunder Bay local, Matt Sellick. http://mattsellick.com/ The production takes its name from a popular Andalucian figure of speech used to describe boisterously unrestrained behaviour, a playful fearlessness that cannot be contained. Simply put, Liándola means taking an ordinary experience and making it extraordinary. In Liándola, the searing vocals of Alejandro Mendia (Noces Gitanes, France) are accompanied by the intricate guitar arpeggios of music director Dennis Duffin (Ventanas, Canada) and the haunting flute melodies of Lara Wong (Canada). David Sampaulo (Italy) holds down the rhythm on cahon. Dancer and artistic director Lia Grainger (Canada), brings the stage to life with fierce, sensual choreography and improvisation.
