Biography

José Miguel Fernández, known artistically as José Escarpín, was born in Murcia and from his mother’s womb he could feel the kicks strongly. From a very young age he began his interest in the art of flamenco. His easy and quick learning to dance flamenco took him to different flamenco schools, such as Amor de Dios, in Madrid, when he was only 7 years old. Among his teachers, the great master Juan Ramirez, Carlos Velazquez, Alfonso Losa, Jose Maya, Nino Reyes, Antonio Canales, Tony “El Pelao”, La Tati among others. He has been part of various national and international television programs receiving awards and has taken his dance career to different parts of the world: Miami, Los Angeles, Arizona, Mexico, Texas, New York, Italy, etc.. He has presented his shows in different theaters and auditoriums around the world as the theater “Manuel Artime” (Miami), Cesar Chavez (San Luis De Arizona) Benidorm Palace, Riojaforum, Palacio De La Prensa, among others. He has participated in the films “Mexico Flamenco” and the Netflix documentary “The Creation of Malinche“. He currently works in the best tablaos with his own shows of his own creation and staging.

Anecdotes

José tells us that when he was 15 years old, he was asked to dance at a 15th birthday party of a wealthy girl in Florida. During the party, José danced on a gold stage, accompanied by gold thread curtains, with the setting of the movie “The Great Gatbsy”.

Another anecdote that José tells us, was when he was 11 years old, he was dancing with his company and Tony “El Pelao” came up to him and told him that he had never seen anyone dance like he does.

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.”

“Lovely intimate venue with a good view of the stage. Great performers who are clearly passionate and inspiring. Wonderful first experience of flamenco. At just under an hour, it’s a lovely taste of flamenco.”
