Jose Moreno, Guest Artist/Singer/Percussionist
Jason McGuire “El Rubio, Guitarist
Reyes Barrios, Dancer/Singer
Yaelisa, Artistic Director/Dancer
Over two hundred years of flamenco knowledge will be together on July 26 at the Fountain Theatre to concoct ‘un potaje flamenco” in concert for one performance. For each of the artists in this show, flamenco has a deep and long history. Brothers. Sisters. Three second-generation flamenco artists in one show, a timeless moment. Compañeros, friends, artists who together and separately, have created hundreds of productions, unique performances, recordings, concerts, theatre and historical moments of flamenco throughout the U.S., and given the blood, sweat and tears to an art form they love and respect to their core. What will happen on the stage during this performance, and with this ‘familia,’ each with their experience and interpersonal relationships, will neither be rehearsed to death nor taken for granted. FLAMENCO EN ESTADO PURO.
Artistic Director Yaelisa and the Fountain Theatre bring two extraordinary and important artists DIRECT from the East Coast to reunite with Guitarist Jason McGuire and Yaelisa in a powerful presentation of traditional flamenco. Pedro Cortes is a Gypsy artist from a dynasty of Gitano artists who emigrated to America and contributed greatly to the development of flamenco in the East. Like Yaelisa, Pedro is a second-generation guitarist and composer considered one of the most important of the last 50 years, working with every major artist in the U.S. and Spain. Pedro and Jason last played at the Fountain Theater in 1998, when Deborah Lawlor brought them together as a guitar duo. Pedro Cortes is an authority and now legendary arbiter of flamenco past, present and future, a living embodiment of all that is flamenco. Jose Moreno returns to the Fountain after his incredible performance in 2025, a quadruple-threat guitarist, singer, percussionist and dancer. Jose Moreno comes from a flamenco family of artists also emigrated from Spain. Yaelisa is a longtime fixture in early Forever Flamenco shows, and whose mother Isa Mura was a favorite performer during the early years of Flamenco at the Fountain, under Deborah Lawlor. Jason McGuire “El Rubio’, longtime partner and composer for Yaelisa & Caminos Flamencos, considers Pedro Cortes his mentor and flamenco brother. Rounding out this cast is singer/dancer Reyes Barrios, from Sevilla, and who is also the Director of the current series of Forever Flamenco.
