The art and magic of flamenco is within Melani "Mele" and Jason Martínez.
The couple met at the National Institute of Flamenco in Albuquerque in 2001 and performed for Yjastros: The American Flamenco Repertory Company, including dancing on tour throughout the Southwest.
Today, Mele and Jason are living in Tucson and recently opened Flamenco del Pueblo Viejo. The organization's mission is to provide Tucson "with excellence in performance and education" of flamenco, Mele Martínez said.
