 “Flamenco de calle” is an initiative of the Flamenco Artists Association and Sevilla city council, which has as objective to make closer the flamenco to the sevillan society. This rapprochement is important for the city because to enjoy this art nowadays, it’s necessary to wait for special events, festivals or to go to “tablaos, it’s a reality based on tourism more than on culture.

The FAA will organize on March the circuit “Flamenco de calle”, and will organize performances in unusual places. The citizens have the possibility to know better this art, discover its essence and its quality. One of the objectives of “flamenco de calle” is to make possible the extension of the flamenco of good quality, real and different.

A big variety of performance will take place during this month, and depending on the place, the shows will be different: traditional, solo of sing or play, modern style. The most important is to announce to everybody the variety it exists and the quality of this art, without forgetting that Sevilla will change a lot in spring, and you could enjoy the flamenco purity and sensibility.
