Jaleos

Why is it used?

It is a short “cante” (singing) associated with bulería and is used when we want to bring that party atmosphere to our dance.

Thematic

The themes reflected in the lyrics of the jaleos are varied and open. Mainly we are going to find allusions to the province of Extremadura and traditional issues; the countryside, food, love…

How is it interpreted?

This is a style that is rarely performed in the tablao due to its high difficulty to generate culminating moments in short periods of time. However, it is used by the performer to demonstrate a certain virtuosity in the timing of his steps. Its complexity is also related to the charisma that each artist has to accentuate on stage.

It was everything I always imagined and even more

I used to always imagine flamenco as this passionate dance that took place in darkened stages. During a recent trip to Spain I finally got the chance to visit a Tablao Flamenco. I was happy to see that it was everything I always imagined and even more.

Nice snapshot of flamenco

“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.”

¡Salvaje!

“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.”
