MILFORD, PA — In late 2014 Rolling Stone magazine named the Juanito Pascual New Flamenco Trio to its short list of top world music albums. Now, 18 months later, the Pascual Trio and singer-dancer Barbara Martinez will perform “Flamenco: Old and New” at the Milford Theatre on Saturday, June 18 at 7 p.m.

Featuring Pascual on guitar, bassist Brad Barrett and Grammy-nominated percussionist Tupac Mantila, the trio colors flamenco with elements of jazz, world music and even rock.

Raised in New York, Martinez began studying flamenco dance and vocals in Spain when she was still a child. She appears often at Sangria 46 and other New York venues. She has performed with top ensembles such as Carlota Santana Flamenco Vivo, and she’s a featured artist in Carolina Loyola-Garcia’s documentary “Sobre las Olas: A Story of Flamenco in the U.S.”

The theatre is located at 114 E. Catharine St. Tickets cost $20, or $15 when bought in advance via www.kindredspiritsarts.org/#content or in person at Books and Prints at Pear Alley, 220 Broad St., 570/296-4777. Children under 15 will be admitted free.

Concert producer Kindred Spirits Arts Programs is a nonprofit organization of volunteers that has been bringing quality entertainment to area audiences and programs to school students since 2002. For more information visit the website.
