Lara Wong Trio + Guest dancer: Lia Grainger
July 3 ｜Sun｜ 3:00 PM ｜Ticket starts $12.20
ANNEX - 823 Seymour St, Vancouver, BC

Lara Hailing from the Spanish capital of Madrid, the Lara Wong Trio brings us some of the most exciting music from the flamenco scene today. This flamenco jazz trio features Lara Wong on flute and bansuri, Melón Jiménez on flamenco guitar, Davide Sampaolo on percussion, and guest dancer Lia Grainger. The dynamite encounter of these three extraordinary artists results in a treasure chest of musical gems that have their origins in flamenco and are embellished with Indian and Jazz influences. Mystical melodies on bamboo bansuri flute and exploratory improvisations on traverse flute are accompanied by dazzling flamenco guitar riffs and sophisticated rhythms on percussion. 

Lara was born and raised in Vancouver but left for Spain at age 22, driven by her fascination with a rather niche genre of music, the flamenco flute. After having studied flamenco in Seville, Lara moved to Madrid and settled down there. In Madrid, she formed the Lara Wong Trio and recently released her first album, "Rosa de los Vientos". After a sold-out BC tour in 2021, Lara Wong is back with her trio for a more extensive tour across Canada this summer. 
Lia Grainger is a Canadian flamenco dancer, choreographer, and artistic director. She has toured internationally with her ensemble Fin de Fiesta, is a member of the musical ensemble Qairo, and is the artistic director and principal dancer of Flamencolia Dance Company. Lia lived, trained, and performed in Seville and Madrid for seven years before returning to Canada, where she is based in Toronto. This September, her new full-length theatrical work, "La Forastera," will premiere in Toronto at The Factory Theatre.
