Qairo
Qairo is a fiery and dynamic ensemble that combines the emotional charged vocals and pulsing rhythms of flamenco with the infectious melodies and ear-popping tonalities of the Mediterranean diaspora. From Spain to Turkey to India (with stops along the way), Qairo is music for dancing — no matter where you’re from. It’s Turkish micro-tones played on an Indian bansuri flute, original flamenco verses “sung” by a clarinet, Balkan rhythms punctuated by Andalucian guitar, and flamenco footwork pounded out like improvised jazz. Qairo is guitar, oud, clarinet, saxophone, drums, electric bass, cante (flamenco song) and baile (flamenco dance) acting like they belong on stage together — and pulling it off.
ADMISSION: PWYC — suggested contribution of $20
RIDESHARE UPDATE!
Who needs a ride, or can offer a ride, from the ferry to the Hotel for the Qairo show on Saturday night? 💃🏻 We’re trying to coordinate trips via Facebook (this link) and Instagram (this link) — Comment there, letting us know # of people, and what time(s). We’ll do our best to take care of any stragglers who don’t get a ride. Or, you can just email us directly — info@hotelwolfeisland.com.
The ferry takes about 20 minutes, and departs from Kingston to Wolfe Island on the hour — Come on the 5pm, 6pm, or 7pm boat (at the latest) — earlier if you’d like to sample our fantastic Fall Menu for dinner 😉
The ferry runs from Wolfe Island to Kingston at 10:30pm, midnight, and 1:30am.
We’d love to see you Saturday!
