Latin Culture at Robert Browning Associates

MARCH 2026

Spanish Flamenco Festival

Rising star, Latin Grammy nominee Ángeles Toledano, combines tradition and innovation in her New York City debut backed by guitarist Benito Bernal; at the Flamenco Festival for Robert Browning Associates and Lotus Music & Dance, at Roulette in Boerum Hill, in Downtown Brooklyn; on Saturday, March 7, 2026 at 8pm.

Young people see the world through their own cultural lens, which in the postmodern world includes everything, all the time. It’s refreshing to see them take tradition and stretch it in ways that make sense to them.

Throughout Toledano’s work, there is the tension of the duende, trying to reach the spiritual world of the dead while still living. It’s really not about dying ~ it’s about really living. But in order to really live, you must not fear death.
