2:35am Seemingly out of nowhere this saxophonist appears and beautifully improvises a melody over Richard Marlow's bulerías compás.

[Editor's note: Her name is Patricia Zárate. She performs on Thursdays from 10-12pm at Café Nema at 1331 U St. She's fantastic!]

2:46am Joaquín Grilo joins in on cajón as Marta, Micaela and Sara Jerez provide palmas.

3-something am As the jam session heats up Joaquín gets so inspired that he can't decide whether to dance or play cajón. So he gets creative and plays standing up.

3-something am Richard and Rubem getting intense.

3-something am DC flamenco dancer Edwin Aparicio gets up to do a short bulerías while Rubem enthusiastically cheers him on.
