MURPHY – Spanish culture comes to Western North Carolina in a whirl of color when the Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana Spanish Dance Company performs at Tri-County Community College on April 27 at 7:30 p.m.

Flamenco is an inherently multicultural art form. It is from Andalucía, the southern region of Spain, evolving from the interaction of many cultures – including the Moorish, Jewish, Spanish, and especially the Gypsy–that inhabited this area for centuries. Flamenco is one of the most popular Spanish art forms because of the great intensity of its music and its energetic dance, that reveal a vision of life full of pride, passion, honor, love, sorrow, and death.
