Washington State University’s Visual, Performing, and Literary Arts Committee (VPLAC) and the Campus Involvement Up-All-Night program present Children of the Revolution in concert at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 13 in Bryan Hall Theatre and 8 p.m. Sept.15 in Beasley Performing Arts Coliseum. Both concerts are free and open to the public.
With a modern world beat including music from Flamenco, Greek, Native American and Middle Eastern influences Children of the Revolution pulls together an eclectic and authentic blend of musical genres.
Thursday’s contemporary Flamenco concert at Bryan Hall Theatre features lead vocals by Vassili, Eric Jaegar on lead flamenco guitar, and dancer and guitarist Encarnacion. On Friday, the entire Seattle-based band will perform in Beasley Coliseum.
Self-described as “the world on one stage” Children of the Revolution performs instrumental and vocal arrangements, in Greek, Spanish and English. They fuse rumba rhythms, rock beats, and “technoflamenco,” to create an unbelievable fresh new sound.
Carrying a message of peace and unity the artists have come together to create an energetic, moving and unique performance.
