About Flamenco
Infusing Spanish folklore with sounds from the Levan, North Africa and India, flamenco music was popularised in the late 18th and early 19th centuries in western Andalucia. One of its hotbeds was Seville’s working class district of Triana, a bastion of Andalucia’s Roma people who sang evocatively about their lives and struggles in solemn but sensuous laments. And with UNESCO listing flamenco as an ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage’ in 2010, this is a rare opportunity to experience it right here on the Sunshine Coast and get a glimpse of flamenco’s unsettled, passionate soul.
