Felipe Maya

Felipe Maya, from Madrid, was born into a family of guitarists (Jerónimo Maya and Felipe Maya), where the artistic influence was already established. As a child he liked the sounds generated by the blows and felt that his path was percussion.

When David Jiménez and Laura Abadía met him for the first time, they saw something in Felipe that he didn’t know he had, his innate talent for playing. At the age of 15, Laura used to play in his ear so that he could learn to keep the rhythm. Later, Felipe joined the company of the dancer Curro de Candela and together they were part of “Afrogitano”, a piece that speaks of universal human emotions and dialogues through dance without ever losing the strength and elegance of flamenco. Today, Felipe sings in Cardamomo with the best artists, and he stresses that sharing the stage with “Farruquito” and “Joselillo Romero” is like an impressive feeling that cannot be explained in words. For the percussionist it is very important to be in peace with yourself and to ensure that his music generates a great connection with the rest of the artists and the audience present.

What they say about us

“Cardamomo is dark, tight, and as the clouds formed inside, and the dancing and wailing began, the rooms became filled with energy. Each of the dancers interpreted the music, as they saw fit, and you felt that you were watching the creation of a dance, every time a new dancer started…dancers entered trances, clicked, and clocked, rapped with the guitarists, all the while the singers added their inspiration to the cause. The dancers, while on this small stage, commanded the audience, and it was a treat to watch them walk off the stage with all humbleness, after being musical assassins on stage.”

Live music is thriving in Madrid, from classical and opera to blues, rock and jazz, but the speciality is flamenco. It may seem odd that the music of the south is so important up here, but there are two reasons for that: first, a lot of Andalusians have made their homes here, and second, any flamenco artist worth his salt wants to play the big tablaos — dinner shows — in el capital. Cardamomo is the real deal, catering to a crowd that knows its bulerias from its soleas. There are three sessions a night, at 6pm, 8pm and 10pm, and, obviously, you’ll go to the latter.

“El mejor flamenco en Madrid. Yo los he visto todos por cuestiones profesionales y es la primera vez que uno me gusta y me impacta. por primera vez he visto un espectáculo de flamenco para todo el mundo, no dirigido a turistas. Paloma Fantova soberbia y Kelian Jiménez lleno de fuerza. Un gran espectáculo para pasar una velada.”

“Qué espectáculo. España en estado puro. No se lo pierdan. La pasión que desprenden los bailarines es exactamente lo que uno espera de un show de flamenco. Me sorprendió el lugar. Pensaba que el flamenco sólo era de Andalucía y no es así. Visítenlo.”

“Me and four of my friends went here to enjoy our first taste of Flamenco. Flamenco, if you don’t know, started as an expression to poetry. There is soulful signing, clapping, snapping and when the dancers begin their performance the emotion and power is intense. We went to the 8 pm performance and all really enjoyed it. I would recommend.”
