* LIMON DANCE COMPANY > Junio 19 al 24 > Joyce Theater > LIMON.
As part of its 65th anniversary celebration, Limón Dance Company, under the direction of Carla Maxwell, will perform the world premiere ofCome With Me, (inspired by the music "Ladies in White," "Bombardino," "Dreams," and "Freedom") , a collaboration between world-renowned Cuban composer/performer Paquito D'Rivera and Rodrigo Pederneiras, the principal choreographer of Grupo Corpo, Brazil's leading contemporary dance company. This full-company work, Paquito's first dance commission and Rodrigo's first commission for a US dance company, will stretch the boundaries of Limón's legacy by uniting extraordinary music and dance. The program will also include a revival of Limón's 1956 masterwork The Emperor Jones, based on the powerful Eugene O'Neill play and set to the resonant music of Heitor Villa-Lobos.Chaconne, (1942) Limón's passionate solo featuring music by J.S. Bach and La Cathedrale Engloutie (1975), Jiří Kylián's virtuosic and tranquil full-company work set to music by Debussy, will complete this abundant program. Select works during all evening performances will be performed to live music.
* Brian Lopez > Junio 19 > Joe's Pub > LOPEZ.
With his latest effort, “Ultra”, Brian Lopez has begun the work of going inside himself to find out what he has to say to the world. Ultra is the product of Brian Lopez's rock n roll heart. Yes, there are the Spanish language songs, and as all the best foreign language songs do, these transcend language barriers and move the spirit with the force of their feeling. But there is more, much more to behold on Ultra, and this reveals Lopez to be very much a product of his times, speaking to his times.

* Flamenco Soul > Junio 22 > B.B King > SOUL
Flamenco Soul offers an up-close look at the flamenco and Latin sounds coming from Spain and the Americas. Under the artistic direction of Javier Limón (Seven-Time Latin Grammy Award Winner), Flamenco Soul presents a sample of the best flamenco in the world, risky but at the same time pure, by the hands and soul of a talented, young group that sets the tempo of the sound of today.
The show will be a journey: first, a glimpse of flamenco's oldest and most original styles; an overview of its distinct paths of evolution; finally arriving at the experimental modes of today, offering a preview to flamenco's future.
