Roderick Smith
Produced by Deborah Lawlor and under the artistic direction of guitarist Ethan Margolis, To Paint a Woman is an all-male flamenco performance inspired by a Spanish fandango verse “Por Pintar A Una Mujer” about the idealization of women.
Por pintar a una mujer A un loco le dio la manía Por pintar a una mujer Y cuando pintá la tenía Le puso un letrero a los pies
“Ya me tienes como tú querías”
*
To paint a woman A crazy man was given the notion To paint a woman And once he had the painting finished, He placed a sign at her feet…
“Now you have me as you have always wanted”
Luis de la Tota
This one-of-a-kind performance also features a rare Los Angeles appearance by special guest cajonero/palmero/festero Luis de la Tota from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. The full line-up includes visual artist Roderick Smith, dancers Manuel Guiterrez and Oscar Valero, guitarist Ethan Margolis, singer Antonio de Jerez, and upright bassist John Leftwich.
