Ciutat flamenco festival
By Charlotte Stace
One of the city’s biggest flamenco festivals returns for a new edition. Ciutat Flamenco Festival is a ten-day event that brings artists, musicians and performers of flamenco together across a range of the city’s venues.
The festival explores the innovation in flamenco, a folk tradition that originated in the Romani community in the late 19th century in Andalucía. An intense art form full of passion and pathos, this art form has evolved into a rich Spanish cultural genre of music and dance recognized as UNESCO cultural heritage.
Once again, the festival seeks to remind its audiences that flamenco is not only danced, played or sung: it is thought, taught and written. Check the full program for more leading as well as up-and-coming names on the scene, as well as parallel activities and free performances.
