2006 Project: Café de Chinitas

Mozaico Flamenco Dance Theatre & The Orchid Ensemble explore the art of Flamenco dance with the sounds of Chinese traditional instruments in an innovative, contemporary fusion. ‘East meets West’ as gold embroidered cheong sams & the tinkling of the Chinese Zheng blend with the powerful strumming of Flamenco guitar, crackling hand claps & fiery footwork.

Immortalized in the Spanish poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca, “Café de Chinitas” or “Chinese Café” was a classic singing coffee shop in Malaga in the mid 18th century. During this era of extensive Spanish-Orient trade, Asian women used to frequent this Café & were commonly known as “chinitas”.

Residing in Vancouver with company members of Asian descent, how fitting that Mozaico Flamenco embark on a journey to explore Chinese-Spanish music, art &dance in Café de Chinitas! This has never been done in Flamenco before. It is truly original for the art form & extremely relevant for Mozaico Flamenco &the City of Vancouver. Mozaico Flamenco represents Canadian multiculturalism as our diverse backgrounds include Chinese, Filipino, English, Mexican and Spanish nationality.

The artistic director, Oscar Nieto, is one of North America’s most acclaimed Flamenco dancers and the first Flamenco dancer ever to receive the prestigious Jacqueline Lemieux Prize. The project artistic director, Kasandra Lea, has been acclaimed “the city’s rising Flamenco star…of Asian origin…who has embodied Flamenco with her dynamic, precise style, earning her an enviable reputation as one of the finest bailaoras in Vancouver”.

Thank you for your consideration in supporting the Artistic Community and contributing to the cultural harmony of the City of Vancouver.
