We will share some of our favorite flamenco shows in town, which should have that local flair you are looking for.
Flamenco is a Spanish art form made up of three parts: guitar playing (“guitarra”), song (“cante”), and dance (“baile”). Flamenco originated here in the southern Spain, and has influenced by many world cultures. Originally flamenco dancing was not set to music; it was only singing and clapping of hands called “toque de palmas.” Some flamenco dancing still follows ancient tradition, but with a mix of flamenco guitars and other musical instruments.
