Pimientito -> RE: Sanlucar 2015 (Apr. 8 2015 8:03:22)

Its always lasts a week. If you havent been to Sanlucar before then its hard to explain exactly why its so special. Both Gerardo Nuñez and Carmen Cortes have the philosophy that students have the opportunity to join in with top flamenco artists in an informal way and this allows people to study with real artists and jam with top names.
The teachers are names such as Jorge Pardo, Rafael de Utrera, Cepillo, Antonio Carrion, Tino Van der Sman and of course Gerado Nuñez and Carmen Cortes. During the week students are completely immersed in classes and fiestas on a 20 hour per day Basis (24 hour per day if you are Ricardo). Over the years we have had many people drop in on fiestas such as Manolo Sanlucar, Moraito, Diego Carrasco, Pepe Justicia etc. There are concerts during the week with top artists...and the famous sherry tasting courses that Gerado used to insist his students take. One year the whole guitar course got lost in a bodega!
Apart from what you take away musically, is the feeling of comradery between the students and I am proud to say I have made many friends for life including many foro members from my experiences in Sanlucar. Its probably the most fun flamenco course in the world so forget your reservations....its the highlight of my calender.
