“To be fond of dancing was a certain step to falling in love.”
Jane Austen
Introduction
Being in a room with a handful of people, an intimate space with the echo of a guitar controlling the beat of the melodic conversation. A trio of feminist Spanish musicians who light up the evening with their mixture of flamenco dance, music and song. This is a cocktail of Spain that you get lost in, your soul soaked in the power of music and dance. If you close your eyes, you are swept away to the Spain of old, the gypsy magic that is forceful in the tap of feet, the click of fingers and the string work of a guitar that produces musical scales that muster passion and a heated desire.
The flick of the dress, the shaping of hands and concentration that is addictive. As dusk falls on Seville, an intimate stage is lit with just a chair and a stage scarred by the twisted marks of flamenco shoes. A side curtain opens the audience to a powerful force of women who are there to open the viewer to a world at the heart of Spanish tradition. An intimate room that is tucked away in the meandering streets of central Seville. A flamenco event is reasonably priced and accompanied by a glass of vino tinto and a tasty tapas plate.
La Milonga Tablao
This flamenco venue is highly worthy of its high-star rating. Although photography and filming are prohibited during the show, you can still do both without a flash during the finale. These dusky Spanish women produce a show that is halted only by one brief break. The haunting singing, mesmeric dancing and brilliant guitar work create a frenzy of music and dance that ends with a rapture of applause. The colourful costumes blend well with a guitar that goes into overdrive, beaten, strummed and played into submission and brought out of sleep to hit every nook and cranny in the room with its booming musical voice. This is flamenco at its rawest and most powerful. The haunting gypsy tone makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up, close your eyes, tap your feet and move your body to the rhythm of the music. A brilliant night out in central Serville is highly recommended and worth visiting during your Seville stay.
