ALMA FLAMENCA: is one of Saskatoon's only music and dance organization dedicated entirely to Flamenco, intended to promote and inspire the music, dance, poetry and art in Saskatoon and Canada. Founded by the artistic director, Kari Alba in 2000, Alma Flamenca is responsible for bringing International and Spanish artists (such as Celedonio Garrido, Jesús Muñoz and Ricardo Diaz) to Canada to train and perform with Alma Flamenca members. Their most recent professional production was in September 2016 "De Cal, Canto y Arena" at The Bassment; which included Alma Flamenca members performing with international flamenco group Arte Flamenco (http://arteflamencosk.wixsite.com/arte); the production was selected to open for world renowned legendary flamenco dancer Mercedes Amaya "La Winy" at the Vancouver Flamenco Festival and presented in Portland, US by The Pena Flamenca. In March 2014, the Alma Flamenca production called "Flamenco Chill" at the Roxy was given rave reviews by critics in Saskatoon and took them to perform in a sold-out show in Calgary. In 2016, 2014 and 2006, artistic director/owner Kari Alba took several of her dancers on the “Canada Meets Spain” trip, in which students had the opportunity to experience and learn Flamenco in the heart of Andalucia, Spain.
