Ladies and Gentlemen,

The Foundation Robert A. Paneque is currently working on the promotion of Cuban Flamenco Company, which aims to merge the traditional Cuban music with the Spanish flamenco.
For about five years we have undertaken a study of Spanish authors and musicians who emigrated to Cuba from the sixteenth century and began to enter our country in many rhythms, Spanish dances and songs, among which was obviously the Flamenco.
We are rescuing works of these musicians and those who were his disciples and we have already collected some 60 traditional Cuban songs, composed in different genres and under the influence of the winds coming to Cuba from Spain.
Until this moment we have already recorded a first CD in Havana with the company that has organized the Foundation and we have called Flamenco Cubano.
The name is not pretentious, but the opposite: we have put the family name because the Cuban compositions and arrangements are based on Cuban music, with numbers of Cuban authors, Cuban arrangements, interpretation, recording, editing and mastering of Cubans.
Those who took this project we are Cubans who love flamenco and all these artists sing, play and dance the flamenco since they were five years, and nearly all those already exceeded 30 and some a little more.
In order to succeed we need the support of those who can assist in the dissemination of this project, the popularization of some of our numbers and singers in the disclosure of Prime Flamenco Festival Cubano we want to hold in Havana in 2009 with the support of all .
These projects are executed with funding from the Foundation for the Development of Cuban Flamenco will do concerts, presentations, dinners, galas, we will ask for grants, donations, sponsorships and so on, and donate 70% of our profits to the development of Flamenco Cubano.
Donations are deductible to receive a 35% tax for corporations and 25% for individuals.
If possible, I would be very interested to show some home videos we have done on our company of some concerts in Havana, a mass Flemish by Camaron de la Isla, in the Cathedral of Havana attended by the Cultural Counselor of Spain in Cuba and Cardinal Primate of Cuba.
Both the traditional Cuban works such as new compositions are duly recorded in the ACDAM (Cuban Association for Rights of Authors Music) and the SGAE in Cuba.
Cuba All Stars Project of the Foundation Robert A. Paneque aims to put on a stage in an exclusive concert for the best Cuban musicians of the moment, living in any country in the world.
