Everything you need to know about the Biennial of Flamenco

The Biennial of Flamenco is celebrated in Seville by lighting its streets with this art and passion. For almost 40 years, when September of the even-numbered years arrives, Seville has been immersed in flamenco. From September 6 to 30, a program is offered where the most renowned artists sing, dance and play who come to delight with their art.  A city that is fully committed to a deep-rooted feeling. Singers, dancers and guitarists take to the stages for Sevillians, amateurs, and purists of this art. Seville is flooded with groans and the strummed sound of the Spanish guitar. Of the clattering of the palms and heels with the footwork.  From the Lope de Vega Theatre to the Real Maestranza Bullring, you can get under the feet of these artists.

Why Is It Important flamenco in Spanish culture

The flamenco although it is native to the south of Andalusia, it has been adopted as a heritage associated with the culture of Spain. It is a musical genre with a great aesthetic content that imbues it with a great personality that differentiates it from the rest of the music that populates the musical world. It is the result of the fusion between the voice of the cante, the dance and the musical accompaniment with guitar, footwork and clapping. Which is called singing, dancing and playing. Their clothing is a very characteristic element such as the flamenco dress for women or the flamenco for man. Heels as an artistic expression. As part of the music making a whole.

The best flamenco music

 The biennial represents the best flamenco music, the best singers accompanied by their shows, some more groundbreaking and others more conservative, preserving cante jondo. For more than twenty days you can enjoy this art that will flood the city in more than twelve points. The flamenco it is an art that is learned. That passes from generation to generation. That the gypsies teach their children at flamenco parties, at every family gathering. Because it speaks of feelings.

The best flamenco

 The best flamencocomes from the hand of Salvador Távora, founder of La Cuadra de Sevilla, lands with his show "Quejío", a cry about social injustice. Távora is very prone to show a groundbreaking proposal in his shows. This time because of its aesthetic conception, its political and social commitment.  The 84-year-old playwright from Seville reflects the oppression of the Andalusian proletariat through a staging based on singing and visual power, with the absence of dramatic text.

Tía Juana la del Pipa, Remedios Amaya and Juana Amaya will celebrate the contribution of Roma women to cante jondo. By the hand of Factoría Cultural the Polígono Sur will arrive at the biennial. Antonio Amaya by the hand of the dancer Farruquito.
