It's one thing to master an art, but it's another to do so in a foreign
land. And it's still another to successfully relocate your hard-earned
skills to a third culture. So goes the story of strummer extraordinaire
Teye (pronounced like "hi ya"). Teye was raised in the Netherlands,
but flamenco pulled him to Spain, where he learned guitarra flamenca
from resident masters. He and Belén, his lovely Spanish dancer
wife, now lead an Austin-based flamenco ensemble that tours all over
the world. Teye & Co.'s passion is obvious, from FlamencObsesionArte's
artistically rendered, poetry-filled liner notes, to their "Best
Music Video/ DVD" 2004 Austin Music Awards nod for "Sol del
Caribe"............ |
