Foundation for Modern Music presents Raíces, Saturday, February 4, 2012 at 7:30pm, at Talento Bilingüe de Houston.

From European classical to pulsating African rhythms to fiery flamenco, just heart-felt passion on stage, Raíces, one of Flamárt’s most popular series, returns. As its name implies Raíces (‘roots’) explores those elements that impacted the development of music in Latin America and Spain.
