Province of Malaga

Flamenco, a vibrant mixture of dance, song and guitar is the heart and soul of Andalucía. Like the province, flamenco has evolved alongside the contrasting historic influences of Arabic, Jewish and Gypsie cultures. The Gypsies arrived from India in 1450 and have continued to be pivotal to the development of flamenco. Today, throughout the world there is a demand for a modern, youthful, "flamenco fusion" a blend of flamenco and world music. Obviously, there are differences of opinion between the traditional (cante jondo) purists and the performers of modern flamenco. This Web-page provides a guide to Tablao (flamenco clubs), schools of flamenco song and dance, plus manufacturers and retailers of suits and accessories. Hopefully, this will help widen your appreciation of the flameco scene. All the recognised Web-sites that we know already have a direct link.
