  If you like art, music and dance, seeing a flamenco show in Seville is the perfect way to understand Andalusian and gypsy culture. Flamenco was born here, in Andalusia, in southern Spain. You also have the option, for an additional price, that we accompany you to the place of the show and have some tapas and a drink before it to explain the origins of flamenco. If you are interested, ask for more information.

  Flamenco is a type of Spanish music and dance that originated in the southern region of Andalusia. This art form was declared a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2010. The word tablao originally meant (according to the dictionary of the Real Academia Española) "a small platform or stage on which musicians or other artists can perform". Our Tablao Flamenco Sevilla is a small stage where you can see flamenco dancers and singers fuse the art of singing and dancing. It is a passionate, emotional and affectionate show that you will love.

  The answers to the most frequently asked questions.

  WHERE DOES FLAMENCO COME FROM?

  Flamenco is a Spanish music and dance that is usually performed by the Romani (also known as "gitanos" and indicated in the text by its Romani name) or Gypsy people. The roots of flamenco are believed to lie in the movement of people from Rajasthan (in India) to Spain between the 9th and 14th centuries. This migration brought with them musical instruments such as tambourines, bells and wooden castanets, as well as a wide repertoire of songs and dances.

  FLAMENCO SINGING STYLES

  The soul of flamenco is known as cante. There are three general classifications of flamenco singing: cante jondo, cante intermedio and cante chico. The cante jondo, the most common form of flamenco singing, has a constant twelve beat rhythm and is usually performed from memory due to its complexity. In contrast, the cante intermedio uses a hybrid of Spanish styles such as fandango, but plays at a simpler level than strictly flamenco rhythms and gives opportunity for embellishments. Finally, cante chico often plays with humor or deals with themes of love.

  WHAT TYPE OF WOOD IS USED TO MAKE THE FLAMENCO GUITAR?

  Each component of the flamenco guitar is made from carefully selected types of wood with their unique tonal properties. The top, back and sides are traditionally made of Spanish cypress, sycamore or rosewood, which explains the characteristic color of the body. Flamenco guitars are built lighter with thinner tops than classical guitars, which produces a brighter and more percussive sound. The builders also use less internal bracing so that the top has more percussive resonance. The top is usually spruce or cedar, although nowadays other woods are used. Volume has traditionally been very important for flamenco guitarists, as they must be heard above the sound of the nailed shoes of the dancers. To increase the volume, harder woods, such as rosewood, can be used for the back and sides, and softer woods for the top.

  SOLEÁ FLAMENCO DANCE

  It is one of the most performed dances by artists, and it is more suitable for women because of the type of movement. It is a sad stick, which is explained by the movements of the arms, the undulations of the hips and the deformation of the waist. The lyrics speak of sadness, loss, love and many other topics, but always carry a strong feeling. The lyrics Belar wants to dance first, then zapatateado, which usually ends with bulerías.

  FLAMENCO BULERIAS DANCE

  It is an excellent dance full of alegrías that is used as the culmination of other dances (such as the soleá or alegrías). It is usually the palo of the so-called "fin de fiesta" in flamenco, that is, the encore after the show. It is the most joyful and interesting of all dances, it is characterized by its fast rhythm, there is no doubt that it was born to dance.

  THE ORIGIN OF THE WORD GYPSY

  According to many, the gypsies came from Egypt and this is the last point of collective memory about that centuries-long journey from another continent was the origin of their name. For this reason, in the Iberian Peninsula they were called Egiptanos, a gentilicio that later became Gitanos in Spanish and Ciganos in the Portuguese language. In Great Britain, however, they were called Egyptians, but it became gipsy or gypsy and in French cigain or, by several variants, Zigeuner (Germanic), tsigane and tzigane.
