Where to hear live Flamenco in Barcelona

Just looking for some help in finding a flamenco experience when I visit Barcelona next year. Flamenco puro will do, even crassly commercial tourist flamenco will satisfy as well.
Anyone familiar with the flamenco scene in that fair city?

Thanks,
El Norte

Here's a start - this place is in the old town, in Plaça Reial just off the Rambla.

Los Tarantos

If you can't find a special event going on this Tablao is good. I recommend it, I've been there, it has tourists but it's not crass.

The house artists are excellent (see video below) and they occasionally have big name artists performing. They list any upcoming special performances on their website.

There's a club called Jazzsi in El Raval, near San Antonio metro. They have Flamenco every Friday night at the moment and I know locals who've been and recommend it.
It's a very small place so you need to arrive early to get in.

Lots of videos of their nights on YouTube, here's one:
