Studying abroad

The last time we checked, Minneapolis was not the flamenco capital of the world. Juanito Pascual might have realized that as a teenager, because he decided to leave Minnesota and head to Spain to immerse himself in the flamenco culture. The guitarist studied with legendary flamenco artists and performed in the subways of Madrid. The New England Conservatory was his next stop, followed by gigs with jazz and world music artists. The Boston musician is celebrating his new album, “Language of the Heart,’’ with Spanish flamenco dancer and special guest Nino de los Reyes. The concert is a fund-raiser for Culture Fest International. 8 p.m. (7 p.m. fair-trade arts showcase), $25-$95. Jordan Hall, 290 Huntington Ave., Boston. 800-838-3006. www.brownpapertickets.com
