A New Flamenco Show

Below is the poster and text from Francesca about the next Flamenco Show. If you attended any of the previous ones you will know that they are quite exceptional shows and each one is different.

BUT PLEASE NOTE THE CHANGE OF DATE NOW SUNDAY 4TH NOVEMBER

If you wish to attend tickets can be obtained from myself in my office from about 10am Tuesday 16th. If I am out of the office Andreas on the Front Desk will have them. 





ALMERIA TIERRA FLAMENCA.
A brand new EXCITING flamenco performance featuring the male and female dancers dancing together to reenact a part of the history of the flamenco tradition from Almería. The lead artists come from well established flamenco families based in the famous La Chanca district of Almería capital. There will be a preliminary presentation in English to explain the theme to non Spanish speakers. 
It is a cycle dedicated to the flamenco of Almeria, to its renowned artists, to it's origins, to its traditions. .. a recognition of what our region has contributed to Spanish Flamenco. It is as lesser known area in the national Flamenco scene, however some great artists such as legendary guitarist Tomatito have been born and still live in Almería. Other more historical figures such as Pedro el Morato (  creator of the flamenco palo 'Taranto' ),inspired by the traditions of the mining songs of the Lead, Iron and Gold mines of our region, such as Rodalquilar (Cabo de Gata), Macenas (Mojacar), Huelin (Herrerías), Gador ( Almería), Rambla Belen (Almería), Glasses (Arboleas)
This Almeria Tierra Flamenca Cycle performance is an opportunity to better understand the region in which we live. It is also an opportunity for better integration for non Spaniards who live here and an opportunity for personal cultural enrichment, evidently not only for a better knowledge of flamenco but also for a better knowledge of our region through flamenco that is an integral part of the history of Almeria and has gone hand in hand with the development of the province of Almeria.
