124 culture, history and traditions culture, history, and traditions The first time flamenco is mentioned in literature is in the Cartas Marruecas de Cadalso, in 1774. Between 1765 and 1860, the very first flamenco schools were created in Cádiz, Jerez de la Frontera, and Triana (Seville). In this early period, flamenco dance and song became established as important artistic and cultural expressions in Spain. Flamenco guitar, however, was not yet very common. At the time, songs were sung with no accompaniment (palo seco) or by the rhythmical clapping of hands (toque de palmas). It was not until some years later that dedicated composers, such as Julián Arcas, introduced flamenco rhythms into guitar playing. Flamenco in its definitive form was developed during the Golden Age (1869-1910) in the various cafés cantantes of Andalusia. It was in these cafés that dance, song, and guitar gained an unprecedented splendor. It is also there, it is said, that authentic flamenco song, cante jondo, emerged. Between 1910 and 1955, flamenco song was marked by the rise of ópera flamenca, a lighter kind of music exemplified by fandangos and cantes de ida y vuelta. Not everyone, however, was pleased by this new trend in flamenco, and many intellectuals of the Generación del 27 called for a return to the cante jondo. In the year 1955, a sort of renacimiento of flamenco began, led by great performers such as Antonio Mairena. The popularity of flamenco grew exponentially, and small tablaos, successors to the early cafés cantantes, became the stage for the very best flamenco dancers, singers, and guitar players of the time. It is during this period that flamenco gained world-wide fame. It also began to influence other types of music. Traces of flamenco can clearly be found in jazz, salsa, bossa nova, and other ethnic rhythms. Although flamenco has lost some of its popularity on the world stage as of late, it continues to be wildly popular in the Spanish South. Flamenco clearly has left a mark on Andalusia, and here it will always have a home. The Best Venues In the world of flamenco, Seville has a great deal to offer....both good and bad. If you are not careful, it is sometimes easy to get stuck in a tourist trap. So, for something a bit more authentic, we suggest you check out the following: La Carbonería c/ Levíes 18, 954-21-44-60 Located in the middle of the old Jewish quarter, in what’s left of the home of Samuel Levi. This is your number one spot for flamenco in Seville. Not too many years ago, some of the most prominent flamenco stars would come here to perform for friends and passers by. That’s not really the case anymore, but it still has some of the best live music and flamenco in town. You’ll love it. Drinks and food are a bit more expensive than in your usual bar, but there is no entrance fee. Casa de la Memoria de Al-Andalus c/ Ximénez de Enciso, 28 (Barrio de Santa Cruz) 954-56-06-70 This venue showcases the best up-and-coming stars of the flamenco world, many of whom study at the prestigious Fundación Cristina Hoeren. Performances are held almost every day of the week, sometimes twice a day, in the exquisite patio of an old Andalusian palace. There is also an on-site museum on the history and culture of Sephardic Jews in Andalusia. Highly recommended. Sol Café Cantante c/ Sol, 5 (next to Plaza de los Terceros) 954-22-51-65 Similar to Casa de la Memoria de Al-Andalus in terms of the quality of its shows although less remarkable in terms of the setting. Shows are Thursday to Saturday at 10 o’clock in the evening. Museo del Baile Flamenco Cristina Hoyos c/ Manuel Rojas Marcos, 3. 954-34-03-11 Founded by the world-famous flamenco dancer Cristina Hoyos, this recently opened museum and venue offers performances by some of the most promising new talents in flamenco. The onsite museum shows a very comprehensive vision on the history of the different styles of flamenco together with its most important figures from all times. www.museoflamenco.com
culture, history and traditions 125 The Tablaos Although these places are a bit more tourist-oriented, as well as a bit more expensive, they are definitely worth a look. You’ll watch the show, in cabaret style, over dinner and drinks. Entire flamenco companies perform here, which is why prices are more expensive. One of these may be a good choice when your parents are visiting. El Arenal c/ Rodó, 7. 954-21-64-92 Las Brujas c/ Gonzalo de Bilbao, 10. 954-41-36-51 El Palacio Andaluz Avenida María Auxiliadora, 18-B. 954-53-47-20 Soniquete c/ Benito Más y Prats, 5 Flamenco Festivals Bienal de Flamenco Every two years during the month of September, Seville hosts one of the most prestigious flamenco festivals in the world: La Bienal de Flamenco. The next one will be held in fall 2010. The Bienal is a unique opportunity to see first-class flamenco performances, conferences, concerts, plays, films, and a wide variety of other events. In order to promote the knowledge of flamenco among young artists, the Bienal (in conjunction with the Instituto Andaluz de la Juventud and the Junta de Andalucía) also organizes a contest for young flamenco performers. The contest is open to any dancer, singer, or guitar player under the age of thirty. During the Bienal students of guitar and dance may also take beginner and advanced workshops. This world famous festival ends during the first 3 days of October with a Feria Mundial del Flamenco, a must for anyone working or performing in the flamenco industry. Flamenco Viene del Sur Teatro Central. Isla de la Cartuja. c/ José de Gálvez, 6. 955-03-72-00 Contemporary and innovative flamenco performances are showcased during this critically acclaimed series held at the Teatro Central in Seville. Check the website at www.teatrocentral.com for more information. Jueves Flamencos de la Fundación Cajasol Centro Cultural El Monte. c/ Laraña 4 (next to Plaza de la Encarnación). 954-508-200 This is a series similar to Flamenco Viene del Sur, though a bit more stiff and traditional. This is a perfect opportunity to enjoy performances by some of the most important stars in the industry. Where to Learn Flamenco (and Sevillanas) There are a number of dance schools where one can learn flamenco in Seville. A few are listed below. Most flamenco dance studios also teach sevillanas. Keep in mind that sevillanas and flamenco are not the same thing. Sevillanas are believed to be based on the old Castilian folk dance Seguidilla. It did not originate in Seville, as its name suggests. Nevertheless, it is still an extremely popular dance throughout Andalusia. In fact, it is what everyone dances at the Feria de Abril. If you want to make a splash at Feria, learn to dance sevillanas – it is not as hard as it seems. Academia de Baile de Maria Rosa. c/ Pacheco 1, Bajo. (Centro). 616-65-14-44 Sevillanas and Flamenco classes for all skill levels. Academia de Baile de Maria del Valle Pereda. 617-219-821 Group Sevillanas courses for CIEE students. Check signs in the Student Services office for details. Academia de Baile Clamor. c/ Santa María de los Reyes 10. (Puerta Osario). 954-35-26-73 http://club.telepolis.com/academiaclamor/index.htm Academia de Baile de Manolo Marin. c/ Rodrigo de Triana, 30 (Triana). 954-34-05-19 Sevillanas and Flamenco. Flamenco courses given at an advanced level. Academia de Baile Renshaw González. c/ Padre Damián, 1 (Los Remedios). 954-45-77-73 Sevillanas and Flamenco Asociación Musicaula. c/ Doña María Coronel, 10 (Centro), 954-22-13-33 Sevillanas and Spanish guitar classes. culture, history, and traditions
