Seville enchants

flamenco

This is a unique place where you can enjoy the best live flamenco show, in the heart of Triana. In this establishment you can breathe the sound of the Sevillian music and the rumba in the evenings/nights of the weekend within the best atmosphere in Seville.

The Marinaleda Flamenco Festival is characterized by its unusual format, only four artists, and by its open support for authentic flamenco without any frills. It is organised by the Town Council.

This monument in memory of arguably the most celebrated flamenco singer in history stands in the urban centre of Utrera. He elevated the “cante jondo” to the category of art. Utrera is considered one of the cradles of flamenco. The sisters Fernanda and Bernarda are particularly worthy of note. Enrique Montoya performed worldwide and received the National Music Award.

At the foot of the Castle stands this unusual bronze monument entitled “Fernanda and Bernarda” made by Pedro Hurtado in 2005. The Jimenez Peña sisters were two great famous flamenco singers from Utrera.

The sculpture stands in the centre of Ximénez Sandoval Square, next to a fountain and surrounded by plants and flowers typical in Andalusia.

Miguel Vargas Jimenez, Bambino, died on 5 May 1999. He was one of the most charismatic flamenco artists. With a unique artistic style, he was known as the king of rumbas during a few years. His rumbas dethroned the Pescaílla’s funky Catalan rumba with a more suggestive and flamenco sound, and his “bulerías” outshined the boleros by Machín and Gardel.

This flamenco festival was launched in 2006 with the industries top flamenco artists. It is traditionally held in early August. It is organised by the Municipal Delegation of the Osuna City Council, together with the Peña Flamenca "La Seguiriya", the Andalusian Flamenco Institute, the Seville County Council and Radio Olé.

This monument is located in the Parque del Príncipe. 

Pepe Marchena (real name, José Tejada Martín) - (Marchena (Seville) 7 November 1903 - Seville 1976) was a Spanish flamenco singer who was commonly known as Niño de Marchena. He was one of the great singers of the Flamenco Opera period in the fandango, taranta and malagueña genres.
