About the Show

Casa de la Guitarra is a flamenco cultural center located in the heart of Seville´s Santa Cruz neighborhood. Situated within the Judería quarter in an 18th century home, the venue is just a few minutes from the Cathedral and Reales Alcázares, two if the city’s most important monuments. The center was founded by the flamenco guitarist José Luis Postigo whose career now spans over 45 years. There are two nightly flamenco performances which last approximately an hour and feature three to four artists. During the day it is also possible to visit the cultural center's impressive exhibit of flamenco guitars which date back to the 19th century. Of interest is the original 12th century archway that was once part of a traditional Arab bath. Uncovered during the renovations it has been left intact and now serves as a backdrop to the stage.
 
The family´s dedication to providing an authentic flamenco experience is refreshing for both flamenco aficionados and those seeking an introduction to this art form which has now been declared a protected cultural heritage. Before the show there is a brief introduction about the performance in general. Additional explanations are given before each song providing helpful historical context for the style of flamenco to be performed. The show has been thoughtfully programmed for the audience to experience the wide range of emotions of the different flamenco palos, or styles: from the happiness expressed in upbeat bulerias to the emotional anguish and heartache found in seguiriyas. On display is one of the finest flamenco guitar collections in the world giving the cultural center the unique distinction as the world's first Museum of Flamenco Guitar. Finally, several of the flamenco themed paintings featured on the walls are the work of the family of Jose Luis Postigo.
 
José Luis Postigo, patriarch and founder of Casa de la Guitarra, was born in Seville and raised in the Amate neighborhood where his father operated a tavern frequented by flamenco fans. For ten years he studied and worked as flamenco dancer rising to the professional level. Over time Postigo found his calling in the art of the flamenco guitar thanks to the inspiration of his teacher Antonio Osuna, for whom Postigo holds great affection and gratitude. He has toured the world with some of the most well known flamenco companies and artists. Of all of the performances he most fondly remembers one in the Seville City Hall, accompanying Antonio Mairena when Mairena received the distinction of honorary citizen of Seville. José Luis Postigo has to his credit over sixty flamenco albums which were recorded with famous singers: Miguel Vargas, José of La Tomasa, Fernanda and Bernarda, José Mercé, Antonio Núñez "El Chocolate", Juana of El Revuelo, Naranjito of Triana, El Chozas, Calixto Sánchez, El Cabrero and Rocío Segura amongst others. He has played for flamenco dancers such as Pilar López, Rosario and Antonio "El Bailarín", Farruco, Cristina Hoyos, Matilde Coral and Trini España. During his career Postigo has been awarded the Manolo de Huelva‘s National Prize for Accompanying Guitarist as well as Jerez de la Frontera’s Chair of Flamencology Prize.

Reviews

Very beautiful music. Enjoyed learning more details in each sequence's descriptions as well. Very impressive flamenco dancing. I had been feeling bad, but the energy of the show really lifted my mood.
Good show focused on the music, the history of Flamenco and the guitar playing. I have seen another Flamenco show on 2023 that impacted me more on the dancing and singing part. It is a matter of taste.
A thoroughly pleasing experience. Was attracted by the guitar element - and the guitarist displayed complete command of his instrument - but the singer and dancer who he accompanied were enthusiastic and passionate in their performance. I highly recommend, as I would happily return to see again.
Close intimate atmosphere, beautiful guitar playing several styles of flamenco and tango with educational insights (mostly in Spanish) about the musical history and lineage of the music. Show started with a guitar solo then several pieces with guitar and a cantador. A beautiful dance performance towards the middle. Then more of guitar and cantador ending with another beautiful dance performance. We liked that there wasnt food or drink offered as it allowed singular focus on the performances. Would recommend for those who want to focus more music as opposed to dinner theater performance. You can reserve online and I believe that allows reservation of seats as well. However, we just walked up 15 minutes before the show for our tickets and were able to have seats in the second row.
The place is really nice. It is small so it feels very intimate. The artists were incredible, the guitarist, the singer and the dancer. Such a good experience for watching first hand a good flamenco. Unfortunately they say you can't record videos, which I would love to share if allowed
It was an interesting experience. We liked the fact that we were so close to the stage (even though we bought the tickets on the day of the show). At first we were a bit worried, when there were no dancers just the guitarist playing, but when the dancer came on stage it was really powerful and impressive. I think we would have enjoyed it even more if the dancer had spent more time on stage.
