Highlights
  • Essential Flamenco - Our aim is to restore the closeness that was at the heart of genuine flamenco. Spectators were once tightly packed around the stage, encircled by just three rows of seating. No tables, no dining, no interruptions. Just unadulterated flamenco. The profound flamenco jondo (with ‘jondo’ meaning deep) fuses, in an unprecedented melting pot, five distinct musical heritages: the indigenous Andalusian tunes, the melodies introduced by the gypsies (who migrated from India to the southern part of Spain around 1400), the harmonies of the Arab world (who were present since the year 700), as well as the musical elements of the Jewish and Castilian cultures. It’s a genre that resonates with the universal human spirit.

Authentic and amazing - I loved how it started with the history of how Flamenco came to be. The dancers were so passionate and the singer, guitarist and box drummer did amazing. The sangria was very good.

Highly recommend! From family of 5 - All around a fantastic experience, I cannot recommend highly enough. It was my family’s first time in Madrid and Spain. Two parents plus 3 children in their 20’s and 30’s. We were greeted very warmly prior to the show, the waitstaff provided drinks for everyone and were very conversational. The show started with a brief explanation of the roots of flamenco, which was very educational. The flamenco show was beautiful. The live music and the dancers were very professional. You can tell they pour themselves into the art of flamenco. The passion is very palpable. The highlight of the show is obviously the dancing. The level of dance is very much on par with what you’d expect to find on Broadway in New York City with other musical genres. That is to say, stellar, captivating dancing. I highly recommend for anyone visiting Madrid as a tourist.

As a guest you are served... - As a guest you are served a delicious beverage and you sit in a natural acoustic space. You receive a wonderful history of Flamenco and its origins followed by a breathtaking performance by the Flamenco Dancers, Singer, Guitarist, and Drunmer. You sit very close and it is a most intimate viewing experience!

Do not leave Madrid without seeing this! - The show was amazing! When we walked into the bar area, I wasn’t expecting it to be so ‘lush’ and with lovely service. The setting for the flamenco show was very authentic and intimate. The dancing was incredible along with the singer and musicians. A must see in Madrid.

Flamenco Night Out in Madrid - The musicians and dancers were quite good. We had expected the costuming to be a lot more ornate so was a little disappointed with that. As the entire vocal work was in Spanish we did not understand the story of the song, it appeared to be very sad, definitely not uplifting, an explanation at the beginning it ending would have helped to make us feel a part of the song.
