Calaita flamenco son
Calaita is the work of singer Chico Pere and flamenco guitarist Glenn Sharp. Formed in 2008 as a music and dance group, Calaita immediately developed a large fan-base, with all of their first shows completely sold out. Originally a 4 piece group with dancer Araceli Garcia, Calaita are now a 6 piece music group playing authentic, traditional flamenco and contemporary flamenco rumbas. Calaita have recently finished a series of gigs in Spain. They are now working on the live show for 2012 festivals in Spain and UK and will be recording their first studio album this spring.
