What they say about us

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.

All the spontaneity and raw passion of flamenco where a knowledgeable crowd gathers for live performances many weeknights from around 10.30pm. It’s all about a cantaor (flamenco singer) and guitar maestro, and this evocation of flamenco’s Andalusian roots ensures that Cardamomo is where the great flamenco performers really feel at home.

“Considerado por los ‘connoisseurs’ como el corazón y alma del flamenco en Madrid, El Cardamomo es un tablao intimo y acogedor donde vivir la pasión del flamenco autentico. Seleccionado por el New York Times en su artículo “36 horas en Madrid” y recomendado por el Guardian como el tablao donde los grandes del flamenco se sienten en casa.”

Far from what we expected, the Tablao Cardamomo left us speechless, amazed and above all proud to be from here and to know that this culture is also ours. The rest of the people who packed the Tablao and the tables -many foreigners but also many Spaniards- had to enjoy it to the fullest.
