Prohibido el Cante

Posted on Friday, February 5

¡Duende! A lecture/demonstration presented by Catalina Maria Johnson and illustrated musically by Chicago´s own flamenco trio Idilio, on the cultural and musical elements of flamenco. The presentation will be framed in the imagery of  the book ‘Prohibido el cante’ – “Singing not permitted”, which takes its title from a sign that could be read in many taverns during Franco’s regime in Spain, and gathers 200 photographs by 70 international authors.

Catalina Maria Johnson, Ph.D., is a writer and host/producer of radio programs for public radio.

Idilio (singer/dancer Chiara Mangiameli, guitarist Diego Alonso, and percussionist Kassandra Kocoshis) performs original contemporary flamenco music as well as innovative interpretations of traditional flamenco songs.
