Concerts Flamenco

Concerts By Traditional Flamenco Duo

Their concerts of traditional flamenco have captivated audiences not only in parts of the world where flamenco music has its roots – India, the Middle East and Europe – but have taken Marta and Richard as singer and guitarist to countries not usually associated with flamenco, such as Albania and Belize.

Flamenco in Canada too is increasingly popular, and while Marta and Richard normally appear as a flamenco duo, they at times accompany dancers. Both from musical backgrounds, they were married in 1989, began to perform together soon afterwards and now live in Ontario.

They have performed in Festivals as the Northern Flamenco Festival, St. Petersburg, Russia; International Guitar Festival, Bute, Scotland; SimFest film festival , Tirgu Mures, Romania; Festival of Art and Music, Brasov, Romania; Multi-cultural Festival, Berat, Albania; Inter-cultural Festival, Budapest, Hungary; Hudson Music Festival, Quebec and Rhythmfest, Barrie, Ontario.

They received first prize in the solo/duo category at Upper Clements Park Music Festival in Nova Scotia.
