Gran Gala Flamenco with Rafael Amargo

O wydarzeniu

Experience Flamenco music and dance in Madrid with Rafael Amargo in a unique performance which expresses the true passion of this Spanish tradition.

Flamenco was born in the 18th century in Andalusia as a form of expression reserved for the most intense moments of the celebration of life. The Gran Gala Flamenco leads the audience through sensations, rhythms, and movements that define this art form. The different palos (rhythmic patterns) expose the union of heart and soul, music and dance that is at the heart of Spanish tradition.
