Spanish Flamenco singer/percussionist Francisco Orozco "Yiyi" joins leading Canadian Flamenco dancers and musicians, from across the Prairies to the west coast, for an intimate evening of Flamenco dance, guitar, piano, and song.

Flamenco dancers Claire Marchand, Jane Ogilvie, and Rosanna Terracciano have explored their own creative trajectories since meeting years ago as emerging dancers. Now, as established artists, each has played an integral role in establishing a Flamenco presence in Western Canada. Though their paths have crossed as artists, colleagues, and friends in many ways over the years, post-pandemic they decided it was time to formally create a project where they would have the chance to collaborate. Their first project “Flamenco at the Yardbird” was presented to a sold out audience in 2024 with invited guests, Vancouver Flamenco guitarist and dance accompanist Peter Mole and Spanish singer Celedonio Garrido. This year they return to the Yardbird for two nights, with a new performance including returning guitarist Peter Mole and new guest, Spanish singer/percussionist Francisco Orozco “Yiyi”, taking the show on the road to their hometowns of Edmonton, Calgary, and Winnipeg.

Experience the mesmerizing interaction of soulful singing, intricate guitar, percussive footwork and expressive dance of the Flamenco “tablao.” Expect the magical intensity, improvisation and inspiration that can only be felt in the encounter of artists who live and breathe Flamenco.

Co-presented by Yardbird Suite.
