ORIGINAL: PacoPaella i ran into the fine guitar builder and player Rafael Romero of San Fernando, stole two hours of his time (and his friend and excellent cantaor Jesus), bought a sweet blanca, and got invited to a singers competition in the Pena camaron de la isla in san fernando. That was an incredible experience So you did get a special flamenco experience. This is usually how it happens, by chance and luck, and hanging out very late at night. quote:
After this third visit to andalucia i wonder is there really only rarely any flamenco happening apart from miserable commercial shows at the tablaos, or do people intentionally try to keep us tourists away from it? Maybe the Foro Flamenco "network" could help overcoming this since its quite disappointing to come to the area solely for the music and then being unable to find any. Hmm yes like going on safari and seeing no wild animals If you are coming especially for flamenco then the best bet is to plan specifically around a festival ( Jerez, Malaga, Seville, Moron, Utrera) or concurso ( Cordoba, La Union). You can get info about all of these at various flamenco websites, deflamenco always has a list of whats happening and tourist websites will list festivals, and not just flamenco. Kate

I recommend that anyone looking for Flamenco in Jerez that their first stop should be the CAF (Centro Andaluz de Flamenco). You can inquire there what's going on and where the peñas are. Most of the peñas in Jerez are open to the public during performances. This is not true in many other places (Moron, Utrera, etc) Phil

Good idea...i have tried that twice and found myself before closed doors, the centro was one reason for Jerez as travel destination. We then decided to move on to cordoba so i couldnt make it there again. Kate, could you do me a great favor? I have tried to find this information via google and deflamenco but i cant find any recent data...i would love to know the names of the artists and their ranking by the jury. The concurso happened on last sabado, 19.11. in the pena Camaron de la isla in san fernando. If you have any sources it would be great to hear who made it to the finals.
