VII Cante Festival

Flamenco originated with singing, and now a show in Atlanta highlights this essential part of flamenco's roots. Siempre Flamenco's Festival de Cante Flamenco is in its 7th year in Miami. In 2012 The Festival's inaugural year in Atlanta it is a celebration of emotional music and dance. Three Spanish flamenco singers: Kina Mendez, Javier Heredia, and Jesús Montoya, fill the ears and the soul with 'cante jondo' in the spirit of the flamenco festivals that have been celebrated annually in Spain since the early 1900s. Siempre Flamenco brings dynamic guitar and dance to the stage, two elements that developed in flamenco to accompany the singing.

In Atlanta, the audience and performers mix with on-stage seating to bring the audience close and in the round. This intimate setting was the scene when flamenco first originated among gypsy circles in southern Spain, as family and friends gathered to share emotional expression in small groups.
