Flamenco 4x4
By Charlotte Stace
Flamenco is the centuries-old dance of the Romani people of Andalucía, but it is required viewing when visiting Barcelona nonetheless. To that end, we suggest you head over to Los Tarantos which brings Flamenco 4x4 to the city for a series of shows.
Merging the passion of movement with the fierce emotion of singing and skilled instrumental playing, this dance is one of the most traditional and well-known aspects of Spanish culture - so much so that it was recognised by UNESCO as World Intangible Cultural Heritage.
With dance, song and guitar, the 4x4 team features: dancers - Marina González and Joni Cortés; singers - Miguel de la Tolea and Juan Cortes Santiago; and guitar players - Tati Amaya and Rafael Perona. Be prepared to go on a profound and passionate journey to the deep south of Spain with these talented flamenco professionals.
