It was a wonderful and beautiful evening performing in Boyce, VA (with Manolo Leiva, flamenco singer, and Ulrika Frank and Pamela de Campo, flamenco dancers). The food was absolutely fabulous and couldn’t have been more authentic when it comes to Spanish cuisine. Enough funds were raised to support 2 very poor families for a year. Check out the facebook photos.
Marija Temo and Ulrika Frank, flamenco dancer, will perform together for a special event (a product launch by Constellation Wines U.S.) in Jessup, MD on 5/6/11.
