Join ABREPASO flamenco, Literary Cleveland, and Julia de Burgos CAC to explore how the lyrics of flamenco are a window not only into flamenco, but also into the human experience. The music and dance of flamenco revolve around the lyrics and can help elucidate flamenco. Participants will also be invited to write their own flamenco verse.
