Flamenco in Paris

In the springtime, a young man’s thoughts may turn to major league baseball (that’s the quote that Chris always repeats when there’s a whiff of spring in the air), but I start thinking ‘flamenco’.

Getting to the spring flamenco competitions in Spain was one of the things that I never did get to do as a student - but for students in Paris who can’t afford the train trip to Spain - the international flamenco competitions will be right here in Paris.

From March 9th to March 12th, some of Spain’s most well-known flamenco performers will be featured including Paco de Lucia and
Juan Cortes “Duquende”. Not only will flamenco music and dance be performed but many aspects of the flamenco culture will be displayed for incurable flamenco fans. In the meantime, you can listen to a few samples of flamenco music at the flamenco production site just to whet your appetite. This sample called ‘Suena’ performed by Duquende personifies his style which is best described by Bouziane Daoudi in his article for the French newspaper Liberation.
Daoudi says that when Duquende sings, “it’s as if his entire life depends upon one syllable.”
