Cerro Negro Concert
I attended this exciting concert held at the Fresno Unitarian Church on Saturday, November 28th. Cerro Negro is a local Flamenco Jazz Fusion band composed of John Martin III on percussion and vocals, Dusty Brough on guitar and rhythm guitarist Frank Giardano. The audience heard a variety of tango, flamenco and jazz, that brought some of the audience to their feet to dance! Cerro Negro is also incorporating music from Turkey, the Carribean, and the Balkans. They are also hosting a radio show on Mediterranean music on KFSR every Saturday morning at 6 am, which is rebroadcasted Sunday evenings at 8 pm. To find out more information about the group, to to: http://www.cerronegro.net/. If you are interested in learning how to tango or salsa, check out Studio 65. In addition, to learn more about the culture of flamenco, considering joining Fresno Flamenco. As you can see the arts of Spain and Latin America are alive in Fresno!

International Culture Night: One Night Where the World Unites
I attended the 26th annual International Culture Night last night in the Satellite Student Union. The audience was treated to a cornucopia of dances from many different cultures. We saw fantastic performances from both student and professional dance troupes representing the countries of Africa, China, Egypt, India, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Mexico and Polynesia. My favorite performances were done by the Tanjora Tribal Belly Dance Troupe, the Indian Student Club, and the Polynesian Club of Fresno. It was exciting to see the costumes, and hear the music and watch the dances. I especially enjoyed the fashion show of designs from different countries featuring both men and women. My favorite was the Indian wedding outfit—I like sparkle and both the lady and gentlemen’s outfits were very elegant and glamorous. Kudos to the International Culture Night Committee and all the hard work that went into planning this wonderful event!
