SUMMARY:Jordan Salama with Michael Shapiro (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:A journalist and TV producer who works in both English and Spanish\, Jordan Salama’s debut\, Every Day the River Changes: Four Weeks Down the Magdalena (Catapult)\, received such awards as the Ricardo Piglia Award and Stanley J. Stein Prize for Best Senior Thesis at Princeton University (yes\, he’s young – this started as a senior thesis) on the way to becoming a book. \n“Jordan Salama writes with an attentiveness\, and a sense of adventure\, that many of us might envy; this engaging\, intrepid debut promises many more wonders to come. Already he’s shown himself to be a writer with a rare (and inspiring) commitment to giving us the world.” —Pico Iyer. \n“The book is more than a notable achievement in travel literature and more than a clarifying window into a misunderstood culture; it is a book of conscience and open-heartedness . . . It is a privilege to savor\, if vicariously\, this harvest of a promising writer’s vivid journeys.” —Kirkus Reviews. \n“This is a born journalist.”—John McPhee. \nJoining Jordan Salama in virtual conversation will be rafting guide\, interview journalist (Spark)\, and author Michael Shapiro. His recent book is The Creative Spark: How Musicians\, Writers\, Explorers\, and Other Artists Found Their Inner Fire and Followed Their Dreams. \nCo-presented by ORION & Elliott Bay Book Company. \nREGISTRATION/INFORMATION \n\nSyrian/Iraqi

SUMMARY:Antonio Rey - Flamenco Guitar Master from Spain with Seffarine
DESCRIPTION:Flamenco Guitar virtuoso from Spain\, Antonio Rey makes his Seattle debut after winning the 2020 Latin Grammy for best flamenco album \nSeffarine’s international blend of sounds features soulful Moroccan singer Lamiae Naki and flamenco guitarist Nat Hulskamp. Their music embraces and extends Naki’s rich heritage\, which spans from Moorish Spain to the Sahara\, by mixing Arabic Andalusi music with Manuel Gutierrez’s explosive flamenco footwork\, the grooves of acclaimed bassist Damian Erskine and the exotic instrumentation of Persian master multi-instrumentalist Bobak Salehi. These diverse backgrounds meld into an intoxicating blend of ancient and modern that Bass Player Magazine describes as a “gorgeous intersection of Spanish flamenco\, Arabic and Andalusian music\, Persian classical\, and jazz”. \nSeffarine takes its name from the ancient metalworking square in Lamiae’s home city of Fes\, Morocco. Her family is well known in the Seffarine as master metalworkers continuing the tradition today. The square dates back to the 9th century and is famous for the complex rhythms that can be heard from the blacksmiths’ hammers.
