On March 28 at The Ironwood in Boulder, the internationally renowned fusion flamenco guitarist Miguel Espinoza and concert cellist Dianne Betkowski will perform a concert of Flamenco Fusion joining the richness and passion of Flamenco guitar with the lyrical, classically inspired cello. Our Chef Arteimo will prepare a Spanish feast of Paella, tapas and other Spanish delicacies for your dining pleasure.Miguel Espinoza Fusion, the collective beating heart of world-class musicians Miguel Espinoza (guitar), and Dianne Betkowski (cello), invites the listener into a rich and colorful symposium of musical traditions. Firm roots in flamenco, classical, and jazz are woven through with North African rhythms, Celtic whimsy, and Brazilian expressions for a sound that is transformative, vibrant, and deeply emotive. Their fourth album, Gabriella (2023), features the collaborative efforts of two-time Grammy winner Howard Levy, as well as fellow two-time Grammy winner David Balakrishnan, of the Turtle Island Quartet.
Miguel Espinoza Fusion, are the winners of Westword Magazine's Best of World Music, and their albums, Turtle Dreams and Veneta, have won Indie Acoustic Project awards. Veneta ranked #9 of the Top 200 World Music Albums of 2022 and was #11 on the Top 20 2022 NACC World Charts for 16 weeks. Described by Guitar Player Magazine as "mesmerizing", Miguel Espinoza has recorded and performed with Bela Fleck, Kai Eckhardt, Kitaro, Tuck and Patti, Rita Moreno, and Ben Vareen, among many others. A Miguel Espinoza Fusion show is like nothing else!
PRESS
“Miguel Espinoza Fusion is world class global chamber music making that explodes the parameters of style, yet ever remains close to the heart.” ~ David Balakrishnan, founding violinist/composer of the two-time Grammy winning Turtle Island Quartet
“The musical “chat” between the musicians of the Miguel Espinoza Fusion ensemble is also one in which disparate elements that have played a role in forming this music and in like manner, it is one in which everyone has a say, bringing to this art discourse, not only the flamenco that informs Mr Espinoza’s cultural references, but a wide sound world of different periods and stylistic pursuits.”
