„…Show event in the passionate world of gypsy dances…“

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 will lead the spectator to experience the mixture of sensations, rhythms and movements that define this art form, declared in 2010 Intangible cultural heritage by the UNESCO.

Moving through the different palos (rhythmic patterns: Fandango, Seguidilla, Alegria, Buleria, Tarantos, Guajira . . .) you will be able to discover the intensity of the passion felt by the Gypsy people through the time. With the participation of artists who form part of a new Catalonian generation of Flamencos which are literally stamping their mark on the national artistic panorama, a perfect union of heart and soul, music and dance in all its aspects is being offered, one that since the beginning of time has characterised the heart of Spanish tradition.
