Javier Heredia
Singer/Dancer
Born in Seville, Javier Heredia
inherited a knowledge of cante and baile casero from his father and his grandfather. He worked on the docks of Seville's
Guadalquivir River until his talent as a singer-dancer was recognized by the patriarchs of Seville's flamenco
community.
He toured as a soloist with Manuela Carrasco's company in 2004 and has performed repeatedly in the Bienal de Sevilla, the
Mont de Marsan
Festival in France and other important Spanish flamenco festivals. He has toured the USA as a member of
Arte y Pureza and has worked with Jose Mercé,
Arcangel, Manuel Molina, El Extremeño, and Juana la del Pipa
amongst others.
"...a triumph!"
- New York Times
Cihtli "La
Gallardí" Ocampo
Dancer
Described as a "...young, powerful dancer." by Dancemagazine, La Gallardí
is known for her strength and power while maintaining an elegance of line that
comes from a lifetime of dancing. She
moved to Sevilla, Spain in 1999 to train exclusively with the legendary Farruco family. In 2004 she was incorporated
into
the family's company and she has performed throughout Spain and the US with "Alma Vieja" and "Familia Farruco".
She was the featured female dancer in the film Exils by Tony Gatlif (Vengo, Latcho Drom) and is currently the lead dancer
and assistant director of Arte y Pureza Flamenco Company. She currently
resides in Lebrija, Spain with her husband, Ethan
Margolis.
"As guided by master guitarist Ethan
Margolis, [Cihtli] Ocampo may be the most
dramatic figure
on-stage this year."
- Pittsburgh Magazine
Ethan Margolis
Guitarist/Director
As director of Arte y Pureza Flamenco Co. Ethan has led his company on two sold-out tours through the U.S.
For the
past 9 years Mr. Margolis has been quietly perfecting his craft in Sevilla, Spain where he has become one of the most respected
young accompanists in the exclusive circle of Gypsies dedicated to purity. He produced and played on Miguel Funi's latest
CD "Aires Gitanos", and has worked with such greats as Concha Vargas, Tomas Perrate, Manuel de Paula, Curro Fernandez,
Las Peligros and Joselito Fernandez. His current projects include his Flamenco Rock opera

“LA TEMPESTAD” DANCES AGAIN
After a long absence, “La Tempestad”, returns to the stage.
Come and join the festivities as Tempestad celebrates her birthday and her come-back to the Houston flamenco scene at Café
Byblos on Thursday, June 25 at 8 PM. Featured guest artists Valdemar Phoenix, master flamenco guitarist, and Lucia
Rodriguez-Sanchez, flamenco singer, will join Cuadro “La Tempestad” for an evening of “flamenco puro”
in an authentic gypsy juerga.
It has been approximately six months
since that horrible day back in December when a driver ran a red light and barreled into Tempestad’s car. From
the appearance of her mangled car, Tempestad was lucky to be alive but her promising flamenco career came to a halt.
A severely fractured arm and sprained foot, a fractured rib and vertebrae required
some surgery and months of grueling physical therapy. With determination and perseverance, Tempestad overcame
all physical obstacles and is now ready to get back to her flamenco life with new confidence and high energy.
After having passed up many performing opportunities, Tempestad will light up the
stage with her fierce presence and fiery footwork. The performance will include old favorites and some new dances.
