Flamenco dancer performs at Crush

Artistic director and dancer Savannah Fuentes comes to Whitefish Monday for a spectacular presentation of traditional Spanish flamenco song and dance.

Fuentes performs at 8 p.m. at Crush in Whitefish.

This concert will mark the 14th stop in Fuentes’ summer tour aptly named “Girasoles” (”Sunflowers”), which reflects the joyful warmth that flamenco brings to all people of all ages. Joining Fuentes will be acclaimed flamenco cantaor (singer) Jesus Montoya of Seville, Spain, and Bulgarian guitarist Roberto “Bobby” de Sofia.

Born in Seattle, Fuentes has dedicated more than a decade to the art of flamenco. An accomplished performer, she is also the tour’s producer.

Montoya is a Gypsy flamenco singer and composer. His journey into the heart of flamenco began at an early age, and he has performed all over the world as a soloist and an accompanist to numerous singers and dancers.

Born in Sofia, Bulgaria, de Sofia studied under Paca Arroyo of Barcelona and Pedro Viscomi of Seville. He currently resides in Los Angeles and works with flamenco artists of the highest caliber across North America and abroad.

VIP tickets to the performance are $30 each. General admission is $23; students get in for $12. Purchase tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com.
