Flamenco at the Smithsonian American Art Museum
José Oretea and Ramin Rad performing tientos/tangos in the Kogod Courtyard of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. September 4, 2008 5:10pm
Yesterday (Thursday) I went to the Smithsonian American Art Museum where a few of my flamenco friends were performing: guitarists Ramin Rad and José Oretea, percussionist Behzad Habibzai and dancers Kyoko, Yolit Yospe and Emily Mazzotti.
They did three half-hour sets between 5:00pm and 8:00pm, but since I had to rush off to Las Tapas to do my own show, I only stayed to photograph the first two sets. I took close to 400 pictures! This is just a random selection. Enjoy!
