Mikaela Kai Flamenco Recital
LA RAIZ ES LA FAMILIA – El Tiempo Invaluable
The theme of this year’s event is “Roots and Family.” Flamenco is a folk art form that originated in the Andalusia region of southern Spain, and the Romani, a migratory people, played a major role in its history and development. Family traditions still form the core of the Roma culture.
As an art form created by wandering peoples through a fusion of various music and rhythms, it resonates with a diverse range of people, bringing familiarity, nostalgia, and melancholy; in 2010, it was included in UNESCO’s list of Spain’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.
We are honored to be able to present this wonderful culture to you on stage through the art of flamenco, an art we feel passionately about. You will be able to enjoy a wide range of flamenco performances, from brilliant dances with castanets, fans, and mantons, which are typical flamenco accessories, to cante and guitar performances! Through this recital, you will enjoy a dreamy moment to immerse yourself in the passion of flamenco and free your spirit.
Artistic Director: Mikaela Kai
Special Guest Artists: Paco Arroyo, Yolanda Arroyo
Guest Artists: Maribel Aja Villaseñor, Ron Wagner (Percussion)
MFK Dancers: Yoko Shibata, Yumi Fujimoto, Yoshikuni Okita, Laura Gonzales, Reiko Taira, Hitomi Watanabe

Tickets
LA’s Premier 1960’s Music Revue! The Secret Agents flawlessly capture the sound of 1960s Jazz, Cinema, Pop, Rock and R&B: the music that makes whatever you’re doing simply cooler.
Suddenly, you’re flying First-Class on Pan-Am sipping dry martinis in a svelte three-button suit en route to Las Vegas where you’ll be dining with Steve McQueen at the Sands Hotel just before the Rat Pack show. That’s the level of cool we’re talking about here…
The Secret Agents were formed in 2018 with one mission: to bring the sounds of the ’60s back into the mainstream by celebrating the music of Bobby Darin, Mel Tormé, Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin, Johnny Rivers, Chet Baker, Matt Monro, Horace Silver, Georgie Fame & The Flames, The Buckinghams, Mickey & Sylvia, Del Shannon, The Association, and so many more!
So put on that dinner jacket, pour yourself a drink, and let’s twist again like we did so very long ago.
