Richard Tucker Park Concerts 8.04.10 Flamenco Y Sol.avi

Lincoln Square heats up this summer with a series of free outdoor concerts at Richard Tucker Park, every Wednesday from Noon until 2:00pm, July 7 to September 1. Grab your lunch and some friends and hit this lively oasis at Broadway and 66th Street to enjoy a taste of New York's underground music scene.

This weekly series of free lunch time performances is presented by the Lincoln Square Business Improvement District (BID) (www.lincolnsquarebid.org) and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Arts for Transit's Music Under New York (MUNY) program with support from Cabot Creameries.

This video features the group Flamenco Y Sol. Sol, the "La Argentinita" dancer and singer from Buenos Aires, Argentina, has performed with the Metropolitan Opera for the past two seasons in Zeferelli's production of La Traviata. Since 2006, Sol has been on tour throughout the US, Mexico, France, and Spain with numerous flamenco companies. Recently, she received a scholarship for a summer intensive project at Jacob's Pillow and from the Cristina Heeren Foundation to study flamenco song in Seville. Cristian Puig, who accompanies Sol, was born in Buenos Aires to flamenco dancer and guitarist parents. He studied guitar classically in the conservatory and learned flamenco from his father. He has composed and worked with Pilar Rioja, Andrea Del Conte Danza Espana and Flamenco Puro, and others, and continues to perform, compose, instruct privately, and sing in the traditional and modern flamenco style.
