Charla:
Lakshmi performs in a variety of settings and understands the formal and informal aspects of Flamenco costumes that apply to the different settings. When should you wear you hair down vs. in a bun? What does that signify in your dress? What does wearing a bata de cola demand of your hair and make-up? Why shouldn't you wear a "sevillanas dress" if you're dancing Flamenco? What is going on when women put those flowers right on top of their heads? This informal conversation about fashion and beauty sheds light on the Flamenco wardrobe, make-up, and hair styling.

Lakshmi Basile began performing at age six with her parents' band "The Electrocarpathians". She studied dance through primary, middle, and secondary school at the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts. She grew up within San Diego flamenco scene, where her passionate artistic persona began to form. After performing regularly as a flamenco dancer in California and studying classical dance at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Lakshmi moved to Spain at age 20 to further her flamenco studies. She was fortunate to quickly be embraced by artists there and has come to work aside great artists such as Manuel Molina, Remedios Amaya, Joselito Mendez, Antonio Moya, La Hermenia, Carmen Ledesma, Antonio Rey and La Tona. She was given the nickname La Chimi (which is simply her own name re-pronounced). In recent years, Lakshmi Basile "La Chimi" made history, being the first non-Spanish artist to win an award in the central Flamenco contest, Concurso de las Minas de La Unión, in 2011. She also was granted an award in another primary contest, the Concurso Nacional de Arte Flamenco e Córdoba. There she surprised flamenco critics and received stunning reviews; "-un desgarrador homenaje a los románticos de lo jondo" (a heartwrenching homage to the romantics of pure fFamenco) Alberto García Reyes, ABC. Within ten years, Lakshmi has solidly founded her career in Sevilla, the cradle of Flamenco. She performs daily as a soloist at El Palacio Andaluz in Sevilla and appears with major Flamenco artists at private parties and festivals throughout the year. She has also performed in Germany, Italy, Lebanon, Morocco, Portugal, Great Britain and Denmark, and produced her own theatrical show in Spain, entitled "Zarabanda, Lo Que Duerme en el Cuerpo de los Gitanos." She is much sought after as a teacher by Flamenco students in Spain. Lakshmi Basile has founded a substantial artistic career as a Flamenco dancer, because that is what she is at heart. "Su baile es de una alegría conquistada (her dance is a conquered happiness)" Felix Grande, poeta and Flamencoligist. "La unica cosa Americana que tiene es su pasaporte (the only American thing about her is her passport)"- Angel Ojeda, former minister of La Junta de Andalucía.
ABOUT BERDOLÉ
Berdolé is a management and production company that creates live Flamenco programming for performance. Works focus on the traditional elements of Flamenco together: guitar, song, dance, and rhythmic hand clapping. Live concerts feature some of the top professionals in Flamenco in Spain and the United States of America, as well as most of the local artists in Atlanta. With more than 10 years of experience, entertainment is turn-key to the smallest of details.
The name "Berdolé" comes from the Caló dictionary. Caló is the language spoken by the gitanos (Gypsies) who settled in southern Spain, and it has a presence in Flamenco song lyrics. Berdolé translates to velero in Spanish, which means ship in English. The name Berdolé fuses cultures through time, considering that seafaring vessels first connected America with Spain and every Atlantic crossing forever changes Flamenco.

They transmit the highest quality Flamenco arts, the Andalucían way of life, thousands of hours at work in studios and on stages, through the energy and excitement of Flamenco.
A Través is part of the Spanish phrase "a través de", which means "by way of." In our projects, Flamenco is a vehicle for communicating Spanish culture, including arts and language, to Atlanta schools, adult learning communities, and arts enthusiasts.
