Hello RussLea: You write two words that in flamenco are inseparable "close and authentic". This is because authentic flamenco, the one that was sung and danced some 100 years ago, always happened in small places, such as basements, caves, mines, rooms in the back of a bar. Flamenco has never felt the same of been transmitted the same in large amphitheaters, or on large stages, away from the public. Flamenco has traditionally always been performed in intimate, private, family gatherings. In this intimacy it is where his greatness unfolds. Thank you for your kind comment.

Hello WestHaven: You are exactly right. Flamenco was once sung in private parties, gypsy family celebrations, and in intimacy. Brick caves, like ours, which amplify the sound naturally, were ideal spaces. And of course there were no meals involved, or noisy waiters interrupting the passion that is generated by authentic flamenco- Flamenco Jondo. At the end, you comment that you would like more dancing. This is a fairly widespread request among foreigners, but I will tell you that flamenco is usually more singing than dancing. We try to show the essence of flamenco in its true form by showing a little bit of everything. Thank you for your kind comment.

你好 Shihchiy: Comentas que el espectáculo "fue realmente impactante. El diseño del escenario es muy especial. El público pudo ver toda la actuación a corta distancia." Esa es, en gran medida, la sustancia del flamenco: la intimidad. Hace 100 años, antes de la invención del "tablao" como espectáculo comercial, con espectadores que pagaban una entrada, el flamenco se desarrollaba en fiestas privada, en ambientes íntimos, como el que tratamos de recrear. Gracias por tu sentida crítica.

Hello Max: You do not know how proud we are to know that we are putting our grain of sand towards diffusing knowledge of this beautiful art that is flamenco jondo. The great arts know no boundaries, languages, or ages. The great arts are universal, one only needs to have the capacity to get excited, and as you, have the sensitivity to embrace it. Thank you very much on behalf of all of us who are embarking on this exciting project, which is to show the world the essence of flamenco.

Hello Fabian: When the audience connects with the feeling that the musicians and the dancers are expressing, there is a moment, which you very well define as "magical". The gypsies have an expression to define that moment: they say "El duende (the elf) has appeared". Thank you very much for your very sensitive comment.

Hello Mairima: You write in your letter: "you cannot miss if you go to Spain", referring to the fact of seeing good flamenco. The truth is, this is a recommendation that should be taken into account not only by those who come to Madrid, but also those who live in this city. Flamenco is not a product "for foreigners", but for every sensitive soul. Flamenco is universal. Thank you very much for your kind comment.

Hello Mayafayce: You have felt exactly what we are looking to accomplish: "I felt like I was in someones house”. The flamenco tablao was emerged from private parties that were held in basements like ours, in gypsy family parties ... always in privacy. A wooden plank or “tabla” was placed on the floor so that the dancer's footwork resonated, hence the word "Tablao", which was used when the first public establishments were opened, at the beginning of 1900. Thank you very much for your astute comment.

Hello Courtney: : You’re right, you do not need to be an expert in the subject, nor even like flamenco prior to the experience (although when you get to know flamenco jondo up close, you'll fall in love with it). In the big arts, such as in painting, for example, you do not need to understand much to get excited in front of a work of art. Thank you for your kind comment.

Hello hwm59: Well, what a beautiful review! Yes, we have been doing this flamenco show for only five years, but little by little, we are wining a place in the hearts of our spectators. I believe this is because there are several things that differentiate us from other tablaos: For one, we do not serve meals. The fuss of a restaurant is not compatible with this art form full of such soul and feeling. Furthermore, we do not amplify the sound. It is not necessary in our brick cave which already has such great acoustics. We also limit the capacity to 60 people. The authentic flamenco experience seems to be lost in macro tablaos, it needs intimacy. And finally, we have a stable group of artists, led by National Flamenco Dance Award winner, El Mistela. All this comes together in one result: serious and high-quality flamenco. Thank you very much for your detailed and sensitive criticism.

Hello Delalseven: That is our deepest interest- to put all of our focus on the artists, on the stage. We do not have tables with plates, nor cutlery, nor waiters distracting from what is essential for us. It is stated in our name. "Essential Flamenco". This art is grand, it deserves attention, silence and respect. I thank you very much for your heartfelt criticism on behalf of the artists. They leave their skin every night to receive applause like the ones you send them. Thank you.
