Spain Meets Ireland: The Celtic Connection
Twenty performers on-stage bring you the vibrancy of Celtic-influenced dance and music from Spain and Ireland in our harvest festival! From the Jotas of Asturias - to Irish jigs, the Galician Gaetas (Bagpipes), Irish reels, Classical and Escuela Bolera Spanish dances and Irish step dances, and last but not least exciting Flamenco, Celtic Connection presents Spanish musical instruments and dances rarely seen in this country, allowing the strong and surprising cultural connections between Spain and Ireland to be observed. For this concert, the entire Alborada company is accompanied by Niall O'Leary and his partner who will perform Irish Folkloric and Stepdances. Plus the added mystery of seeing a Celtic Bagpiper from Galicia. Enjoy our bountiful harvest of dance, music and song!

The Journey - Exploring the Origins of Flamenco
Alborada's newest production: “The Journey - Exploring the Origins of Flamenco”, traces the fascinating journey of the Gypsies from India through Egypt into Andalucia, and the exchanges and influences that took place as of 1200 years ago. The concert pays tribute to the dances of India including the Gypsy dances of Northern India, plus Middle Eastern influences with dances from Egypt. It will feature performers of Vazhuvoor Bani, Kathak and Barat Natyam, dances from Egypt, and the early Flamenco dances. We will feature fusion music compositions from all 3 countries and fusion dances of the soloist Indian, Egyptian and Spanish dancers. As always, the program will be educational as well as visually exciting and uplifting, following in Alborada's unique tradition in presenting performances exploring the cross-cultural aspects of Spain's rich history and culture.

FERIA
In celebration of all the FERIAS that take place in Spain during the year, and a “Taste of Mexico” with dances from Jalisco and Veracruz, we take you on a journey that begins in Madrid, winds back and forth from the Colonies, Mexico, and ends in Andalucia. Enjoy the costumes recreated from the paintings of Goya, famous in Spain during the 18th Century for his depictions of the Duchess of Alba in La Spagnola; the costumes of the Colonies of the 18th Century in the Guajiras; the riding costumes of the Zapateado de Sarasate from the turn of the century; the typical festive costumes worn by dancers for the Rocieras (an 800 year old festival where the musicians stroll playing flutes, drums tambourines ands guitars); to the very colorful Mexican costumes. Enjoy the similarities of the footwork of the Mexican dances with those of the festive Flamenco dances - the Zapateado in the Mexican portion is danced without music; the Zapateado de Sarasate is danced with the virtuosity of a viola.
