“Extraordinary . . . a great artist.”—Miami Herald

Hailed as the "Flamenco Queen," Concha Buika is the daughter of political refugees from the African nation of Equatorial Guinea and grew up in a Gypsy neighborhood on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Often compared to a young Nina Simone, Buika completely surrenders herself to her art, plunging deep into her emotions and emerging with a sonorous, rasping voice that reveals her inner anguish. The New York Times calls her unique blend of flamenco, jazz, soul and blues "luminous . . . magnificent . . . superb!”

Funded in part by the Expeditions program of the New England Foundation for the Arts, made possible with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, with additional support from the six New England state arts agencies.

Arts In Education week September 12-18, 2010

Arts Education Advocacy

U.S. House Designates Sept 12-18 "Arts in Education Week"

In July, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution designating the second week of September as "Arts in Education Week." Authored and introduced by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA), this resolution is the first congressional expression of support celebrating all the disciplines comprising arts education. Read more about the resolution. What a great opportunity to inform our elected officials about how the arts are making a difference in young people's lives in Massachusetts schools and communities. Have a great arts education story to tell? Check back here in mid-September for instructions on how to share those stories with the officials who shape education policy in our state.
