Marcos and Rubina Carmona have been performing in Seattle and elsewhere as Carmona Flamenco for almost 40 years, in an art form that showcases experience. They’ve done big theater gigs, but lately they’ve been concentrating on their cabaret show, an intimate performance that springs from the early roots of flamenco. Rubina, who began as a dancer, has matured into an astonishing singer; she hosts a core group including Marcos on the guitar and their son David Carmona on percussion. Ana Montes, who is in her prime as a dancer, will tonight join this family show, concentrating the energy that would fill a 1,000-seat house into a space smaller than your living room. The Carmonas keep talking about retiring—come see them before they take a final bow. SANDRA KURTZ
