AIRES (FLAMENCO / CUBAN LATIN BAND)

MANY THANKS TO CU LATIN MUSIC
"Aires", a group
founded in 1995 by the dancer and Spanish choreographer Paz Díaz.
Since 2003 the group has been directed by the creative youth and
musical developer Ulises Menocal.
"Aires" is characterized for their unique style among the exponents
of the flamenco in this region of the Caribbean. Through their
dances and songs, this group has set a goal to keep the variety of
the flamenco music in their evolution, by means of a single fusion
between their rhythm and harmony with the Cuban music. On the base
of a scenic expressive design in which the three elements are mixed
essentials of this art (the dance, the live music, and the song),
this group includes in its repertoire national themes as well as
international, besides composed pieces by some of its members.
In the consolidation of traditional and contemporary, Ulises Menocal,
general and artistic director, achieves an effective communication
with the public. His charisma along with the energy and talent of
Hector Rodriguez accentuates the choreography of the flamenco music
through the feminine dance. This is executed by the dancers with the
grace and technical severity of a style that supports its rhythmic
impetus in the corporal technique. Fundamentally in the movements of
the wrists, arms, hands and hips, and in the passionate tap dancing,
to finally achieve a show with a lot of passion in which the
spectator remains trapped by the magic of the Bulerías, the
Sevillian, the tangos, and the rumbas.
"Aires" has performed in important stages in the capital of Cuba and
other provinces. In 2000, they performed in Vera Cruz, Mexico during
the Primer Festival "Augustine Lara." Aires was the first group of
their type to participate in the International Festival of "Boleros
de Oro" and "Los Jovenes Cantandole Al Bolero" in the edition of
2004 at the America Theater
