Pasión Flamenca
[click on image to enlarge]
Passing by the Fontecruz Hotel last night with my Flamenco & Tapas Tour clients we couldn’t help but notice a long red carpet out front. It turned out that there was a one-night-only exhibit called “Pasión Flamenca” going on inside, a homage to the Andalusian traje de flamenca featuring 12 designers from Sevilla and Cádiz, each of whom had created a red flamenco dress for the occasion. We were invited to come in and have a look around and it ended up being quite a fitting “extra” for our evening of flamenco and tapas.
The designers: Amparo Macia, Angeles Verano, Aurora Gaviño, Cañavate, Lina, Manolo Giraldo, Nuevo Montecarlo, Pepa Garrido, Pilar Vera, Pitusa Gassull, Pol Núñez and Rosalía Zahíno. Accessories by Sabina.
Christmas Day Flamenco
Casa de la Guitarra
Some images from Sevilla’s newest flamenco venue, Casa de la Guitarra.
After 45 years as a performer, renowned flamenco guitarist José Luis Postigo opened the Casa de la Guitarra just three months ago in an 18th century building in the heart of the barrio Santa Cruz. The performances take place in an intimate space that brings the spectators close to the artists, and which also houses an impressive collection of 19th century guitars. The shows feature flamenco guitar, singing and dancing by professional performers in a variety of styles, and are an excellent introduction to the world of flamenco.
