Last Chance To Catch “El Duende” At Flamenco Madrid

May 25, 2022May 25, 2022 Madrid Metropolitan flamenco, visit madrid, What's on Madrid

After a two-year pandemic induced haitus, ‘Flamenco Madrid’, the city’s 6^th annual flamenco festival has been burning the blood for visitors and Madrileños alike this month.

The festival which brings its traditions, passions and colour has been taking to Madrid´s streets with singers and dancers performing for the public.

The festival started on 11^th May and winds up for the finale this Sunday 29^th May at the Fernán Gómez Cultural Centre in Colon.

This sixth edition of the festival is dedicated to Camarón de la Isla on the 30th anniversary of his death.

Camarón de la Isla has been hailed as the greatest singer of the art form in its history.

He died in Barcelona in July 1992.

The festival has been promoting a pluralistic approach to the genre whereby the traditional flamenco by artists such as Antonio Reyes and Pedro El Granaino, sits alongside more transgressive artists such as Rosario La Tremendita.

There has even been a flamenco piano recital given by exciting young artist, Antón Cortés.

One of this year’s most unique performances is Pájaros Flamencos (Flamenco Birds), which featured six singers performing outdoors, on bridges by the Manzares river as if they were birds singing from one side to the other.

The finale weekend programme is:
