OCPAG welcomes back Miguel Espinoza Flamenco Fusion to Ouray!  Miguel Espinoza Flamenco Fusion first performed on the stage of the historic Wright Opera House in April 2019. The audience was absolutely electrified by that night's performance and several requests were made to bring them back again as soon as possible! So, we did - not realizing when we booked them right after their 2019 performance that they would be our first live performance right after a world pandemic! OCPAG is ready for live music and we know our audience is as well. This is the perfect show to start off a fantastic 2021 season!

Miguel Espinoza Flamenco Fusion was formed in 2018 and consists of Miguel Espinoza on guitar, Lynn Baker on saxophone, Dianne Betkowski on cello, Randy Hoepker on bass, Andy Skellenger on table and cajon and Mario Morengo on conga and timbales. The groups has been playing to sold out audiences in the Denver area ever since, and were the winners of Denver's Westword Magazine 2019 Music Award for Best of World Music. 
Miguel Espinoza Flamenco Fusion's first CD, "Turtle Dreams" is full of original music that has been described as "colorful and vibrant", "emotional", a "stunning combination of jazz, flamenco and subtle world music", and "sophisticated rhythmic elements...emotional, natural and organic".  They have created dynamic videos with more in the works, and are regularly in the studio creating wonderful new recordings. A second CD, "Veneta", was released August 2020.
