The Oklahoma Centennial Celebration continued Friday night in the Student Union Theater with a world-renowned and Oklahoma-grown flamenco guitarist.

Ronald Radford has been called an ambassador for the Spanish guitar style of flamenco, and kept true to his reputation by adding his own talkative Oklahoma style to the concert.

Radford made sure the audience knew about the infectious spirit of flamenco, and had the audience shouting “Ole” throughout the show.

However, Radford’s desire is to not only entertain, but also to have his audience members understand his love of music and to carry it with them in their search for love.

During the concert Radford said, “People love their own,” and it was obvious the Oklahoma-native loves the Oklahoma sport of talk.

About 40 minutes of the two-hour long show was in interview form, and Radford discussed Spanish culture, his upbringing and the spirit of music.
