Barrio Flamenco for 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Tuesday Nov 2, 2010
Music & Dance
BARRIO FLAMENCO: Flamenco for the People
Tuesday November 2, 8pm
radha yoga & eatery, 728 Main, 2nd floor
Celebrate the creativity of artists in the Downtown Eastside with an unforgettable night of live flamenco music and dance to celebrate the power of people making art! Flamenco is originally an art form by and for the people, danced and played with ferocity, joy, laughter and tears. ‘Barrio’ refers to the vibrant and tight-knit neighbourhoods in southern Spain where flamenco originated. The evening, organized by Kelty McKerracher, features some of the most compelling flamenco artists in the city along with a mariachi performance in honour of Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead. Bring a photo, poem, or memory for the ‘Wall of Remembrance.’ As the divide between this world and the spirit world blurs, join us for an exciting juerga (flamenco party) to play, pray, laugh, cry, enjoy, and stomp your feet! (www.radhavancouver.org) Proceeds of the evening donated to EWMA (Enterprising Women Making Art) a program of ATIRA Women’s Resource Society, www.atira.bc.ca. Cash bar. Everyone welcome! Suggested donation $0-20 at the door

Day of the Dead Fiesta & Procession for 7th Annual Downtown Eastside Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver on Tuesday Nov 2, 2010
Community Celebration
DAY OF THE DEAD FIESTA & PROCESSION
Tuesday November 2, 2pm–8pm
Oppenheimer Park, 488 Powell
In the Downtown Eastside, Latin Americans celebrate Day Of The Dead with pageantry, music, love and humour. We throw a party and invite the dead to join us for a few hours before returning to “the other side.” This year Watari Research Association, Oppenheimer Park and the Heart of the City Festival join together to present an afternoon of music and celebration. Bring flowers, candles, and photographs for the ofrenda (altar), noisemakers, costumes or musical instruments. The afternoon begins with a First Nations welcome and we’ll share some folk music with DTES residents, poetry with Lady Die and special guest, percussionist and multi-instrumentalist Joseph ‘Pepe’ Danza. Your hosts for the fiesta are Byron Cruz, Dr. Enema and folklorista Isabel Ramirez. We’ll end the afternoon with a piñata for the children. At 6pm Ross Barrett and the Carnival Band will lead us on a procession through the DTES to honour the lives lost on these streets, returning to Oppenheimer Park for hot chocolate. Everyone welcome.

Cultural Sharing
ABORIGINAL CELEBRATION

Culturally specific events bring a sense of belonging and camaraderie to an otherwise isolated and disenfranchised Aboriginal population. Carnegie’s weekly Cultural Sharing Program, now in its twenty-second year, offers First Nations people from across North America an opportunity to share cultural events such as Pow Wows, cultural trips, singing and drumming, and to make arts & crafts. This year we have a special Aboriginal celebration with dancers, singers and drummers from the Coast Salish territory.
At 5pm First Nations dancers and singers will perform in the Carnegie gym on the 2nd floor. Come early to get a spot, this will be very exciting. Everyone welcome. Free
