Flamenco Night: El Payo

Las Guitarras de España presents: Flamenco Night with El Payo

El Payo is the only Rumba/Nuevo Flamenca group of its class in Chicago. Its members come from diverse ethnic backgrounds, hailing from countries such as Mexico, Ecuador and Columbia. Their distinct sound is influenced by a rich combination of rumbas, traditional and modern flamenco, as well as a repertoire of classic Latin American songs done with a different flare. El Payo offers something for all the senses. Their dynamic, soulful sound keeps your ears at full attention while your eyes focus on the intense flamenco dance performances. The group opened up the prestigious 2005 and 2006 USA Flamenco Festival in Chicago. It has also appeared on ABC’s Chicagoing with Bill Campell. The group is led by singer David Gonzalez, flamenco guitarists David Chiriboga and Alberto Alvarez, percussionist/drummer Raul Fernandez, and dancer/percussionist Edwin Suarez.
