MOUNT OLIVE -- The University of Mount Olive is set to hold a concert featuring Ed Stephenson and the Paco Band at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 15, in the Hazel Waters Kornegay Assembly Hall at 207 Wooten St.
The concert is a part of the Recital Series and gives students and local residents the opportunities to enjoy the finest performers of various musical genres at no cost.
Ed Stephenson and the Paco Band are known for their nuevo flamenco music based on flamenco music which originated in 16th century Spain.
What blues is to America, flamenco is to Spain.
Nuevo flamenco music is westernized, making it a lighter and brighter form of flamenco, but still captures the rhythms of flamenco music.
