Edwin Aparicio performed with Omayra Amaya in Amaya's work "La Sobremesa." Special presentation as part of the Second Annual Encanto Flamenco Festival at The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center in San Antonio, TX 

 

"Aparicio dazzled with his footwork [...] from subtle, crackling sounds, to furious stamping and [...] vibrating [...]. He also used his upper body and his arms in a dramatic, expressive manner, and both he and Amaya were masters of sudden breaks that presaged a new wave of intensity."
