Flamenco Show
Flamenco is a genre of music, song and dance from Andalusia in southern Spain, noted for its energetic, staccato style. Barcelona's Tablao Cordobes is part of the small, elite group of 'tablaos' that serve as living, vibrant schools of flamenco, following in the fine tradition of Silvero Franconetti's tablao in Seville. These 'tablaos' act as forums where talent and creativity continue to evolve. This is a show that combines opera and flamenco. A unique mix of the high arts that you won't see anywhere else. Flamenco is a musical form that sometimes has dancing in it. The most authentic flamenco is when a singer and a guitarist spontaneously perform. |
