Folklore

It’s an undisputed fact. Flamenco is a whole other world, it takes away your senses, your sentíos… This art form truly deserves its place, along with tapas and bullfighting, as part of the ultimate Spanish trinity of symbols. This is the Spanish local colour that you can see in Madrid’s tablaos and corralas (Flamenco shows and venues): La Pacheca, la Morería, el Villa Rosa, where the great names still live on, such as Antonio el Bailarín, Gades and Carmen Amaya. True legends.

Don’t forget the purest Flamenco, and the newest twists to the tradition. The cante jondo (the “deep song” of Flamenco) and the new dance shows that are taking the world by storm. The fusion of the roots with fashion and current trends. All of this on stage in Madrid, a city where locals and foreigners soon learn the traditional hand movements involved in this art, said to resemble the grasping and biting of an apple before throwing it away, using the expression “cojo la manzana, la muerdo y la tiro”.
