6/09/08 - A special note from the director of Festival Flamenco Internacional:


       Congrats to Flamenco del Pueblo Viejo's director, Mele Martinez who won 3rd place at the Concurso Nacional de Flamenco - the only professional and pre-professional flamenco contest in the country.  This concurso was held on June 8th, 2008 in the 22nd Annual Festival Flamenco Internacional de Alburquerque. Also congratulations to the first place winner, Ms. Alisa Alba, who was hosted by Domingo Flamenco in Tucson twice in 2007.   These two ladies were among the 13 dancers and 7 international flamenco musicians who took the stage at Rodey Theater on UNM campus to compete for cash awards and were judged by an elite cast of 5 artists including Antonio Canales, El Galli, and Teo Morca.  The 22nd Festival was one of the best ever and we hope to see even more participants in workshops and at the 10 amazing performances happening next June 5th through the 14th, 2009.  See you all at the next Festival Flamenco Internacional de Alburquerque!!!  For more info visit www.nationalinstituteofflamenco.org

          Sincerely,
          Eva Encinias-Sandoval
