INTERNATIONAL ROMANI DAY

This year, International Roma Day, Monday 8 April, is especially important because Romani groups throughout Europe have called for a show of solidarity.

We tried to pull something together but couldn't quite manage. But then we learned about a wonderful night of Flamenco to be presented at the Vashon Island Grange on Monday 8 April at 7:30 PM.

I urge anyone who can to come to Vashon Island and enjoy a wonderful evening of Flamenco. Please come and support these wonderful musicians and dancer.

I believe tickets can be purchased at brownpapertickets.com.

I really hope to see allies there to celebrate flamenco and INTERNATIONAL ROMANI DAY.

UPDATE: if anyone cannot attend the event but wants to contribute, they can buy a ticket or donate to the kickstarter campaign

These are good people who have taken on a monumental task in hopes of bringing authentic Flamenco to everyone.
ALSO SAVANNAH FUENTES HAS ASKED ME TO SAY THAT NO ONE WILL BE TURNED AWAY FROM THE PERFORMANCE FOR LACK OF FUNDS.
