Only one performance – seats are selling fast!
The warm nights of Andalucía sizzle and crackle with energy from its famous tablaos. These cafes show flamenco at its most raw and creative – where performers create by instinct and improvisation – showcase unbelievable technique – and create living art through the organic interplay between dancers, musicians, and audience. Don’t miss out on this exhilarating show!
SIMOF (Salón internacional de la moda flamenca) had a series of flamenco fashion shows this past weekend, showing us trends to watch in 2022. After two long years of postponement, Andalucía is excited to host their cherished ferias (fairs) once again this spring, where these looks will surely dominate.
Trends include seventies inspired silhouettes, more modest necklines, balloon and ruffle sleeves, voluminous skirts and sleeves, two-piece sets, lace ruffles, lots of ornate trimmings (ribbon, lace, and crochet), and of course… polka dots.
Dominant colors included the classic red, black, and white trio (heavy on the red) and lots of pastels especially mauve, perhaps the color of the season!

“In the early 1970’s, Madrid was a seething hub of flamenco activity, and artists came up from Andalusia and beyond in search of relatively generous salaries. That was when I met Extremadura singer Magdalena Montáñez Salazar, Marelu, in a small nightclub just off the Gran Vía, the main drag, where guitarist Montoyita senior, and dancer Jesús Rondeño were also appearing. She had already recorded, and was making the rounds of the capital’s flamenco tablaos such as Cuevas de Nemesio, los Canasteros, Arco de Cuchilleros and Torres Bermejas among others.” –Estela Zatania
