Bulerias Romance - In the "al golpe" rhythm of Lebrija, the Bulerias Romance is a form that draws from the Alborea, exclusive to Gypsy weddings, and from the Romance, another Gypsy form that uses narrative verses and a rhythm close to Solea por Bulerias. The Bulerias Romance is typical of the Gypsy flamenco families of Utrera and Lebrija. Miguel Funi, Pepa de Benito, Ines Bacan, Fernanda de Utrera are all known for their use of this form.

DAVID SERVA has accompanied such historical figures of flamenco as Juan Talega, Manolito de María, La Perla de Cádiz, Anzonini del Puerto and Fernanda de Utrera, more contemporary artists including Manuel Agujetas, Miguel Funi, Manolete, Mario Maya, and Blanca del Rey, and younger figures such as Joaquín Ruiz, Soledad Barrios, and Jose Torres de Morón. He plays in Flamenco nightclubs and festivals all over Spain and has participated in the Bienal del Arte Flamenco de Sevilla with Gypsy flamenco artists from the towns of Morón and Lebrija. He was first guitarist for several years for the acclaimed company "Noche Flamenca," and has received two grants from "Meet the Composer" for collaborations with choreographers. His solo concert in Toronto (Son Gitano en America) is available on compact disc, and he has also recorded extensively with three generations of the Agujetas family of singers from Jerez de la Frontera, with Antonio Vizárraga, and with Rafael Jiménez "El Falo".
CARMEN DE QUINTÍN, singer and dancer, is the daughter of Concha Vargas. Still in her late teens she is an expressive singer and dancer, steeped in the traditions of her family and attuned to the latest trends in modern flamenco. She performs regularly throughout Andalucía, Spain.
CLARA MORA has performed flamenco with the companies of Ramón de los Reyes, Estrella Morena, José Molina, Noche Flamenca, Los Canasteros and Flamenco Vivo, in flamenco nightclubs in New York, San Francisco, Madrid and Seville, and in solo concert. She has shared the stage with such pure flamenco artists as Miguel Funi, Pepa de Utrera, José Torres (of Son de la Frontera) and la Repompa de Málaga.
Artists will also be offering workshops in dance and guitar.
