11:30 AM – 12:15 PM Los Cambalache

Los Cambalache (meaning ‘the exchange’ in Spanish) is a son jarocho group from East Los Angeles that plays a style of music that originated on the Gulf Coast of Mexico. The music inspires the audience to participate in the spirit of the fandango. Led by Cesar Castro, Los Cambalache invite us to participate in the fandango cultural tradition and practice.

1:30 PM – 2:15 PM Sakai Flamenco

Sakai Flamenco is a dynamic performing ensemble composed of some of the finest traditional flamenco dancers and musicians in the United States. This fiery, stirring performance of music, rhythm and dance is a powerhouse presentation of flamenco, a style of music and dance that is truly unique. Through the driving rhythms of the guitar, passionate song, hand-clapping, finger-snapping, sharp footwork and cries of encouragement, the artists inspire each other as they carry the audience straight into the soul of this explosive musical dance experience.
