About the Show

Essential Flamenco is held in Sala Torero in La Calle de la Cruz in Madrid, just a few minutes from the Puerta del Sol and the famous Plaza Mayor. The venue holds nightly flamenco shows and the performances - featuring flamenco dance, singing, guitar and percussion - give the spectator an authentic show at a reasonable price. The production lasts 60 minutes and is directed by the renowned dancer La Mistela, who has received the National Flamenco Award.

Essential Flamenco takes the viewer on a journey to the roots of flamenco: from its inception, flamenco has flourished in intimate settings. Artists danced and sang before a small group of friends without any amplification or microphones. The spots were often cellars and caves made from bricks, which offered excellent natural acoustics. It is in this spirit that La Mistela has created  authentic and genuine show consisiting of two dancers, a singer, guitarist and percussionist.

La Mistela is a well known dancer who was once received the highest compliment from el Farruco (another famous dancer) when he said "You are like mistela (a typical sweet wine from Andalucia), sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter, but always with feeling and emotion". Honored with the National Critics Flamenco Award, La Mistela has performed in Tokyo, Paris, Rome and Seville. He served as the principal dancer in the production of Carmen with Salvador Távora as well as El Amor Brujo, with Mario Maya. His artistic direction of the show ensures a quality performance.

Reviews

I have always wanted to see a flamenco show so I booked one trough a booking platform and here we were, having the time of our lives. The show was one hour long, we got a free drink before ( beer or sangria ) but I was literaly blown away so I could barely drink all before it ended. Very beautiful show full of passion and sadness, joy, excitement and dedication ! Hats off ! Highly recommend !
For me this was a true feast for the senses! An intimate performance in a cosy underground venue, with the performers within arms length, honest and in the moment. This show has energy and variety, not a dull moment and does not come across as just a repetitive routine show. An authentic, energetic and inspiring personal performance by a team of 6 performers. As someone who appreciates music, dance and the arts I highly recommend this!
Essential Flamenco in Madrid was unforgettable! The intimate setting made every stomp, strum, and clap feel so powerful. The dancers and musicians performed with such raw passion that it felt like they were pouring their hearts out just for us. If you want to experience authentic flamenco up close, this is the place to be!
I recently had the opportunity to experience the captivating world of flamenco at the Essential Flamenco show in Madrid, and it was truly an unforgettable evening. From the moment I stepped into the intimate theater, I was immersed in the vibrant energy and passion that is synonymous with this iconic dance form. The dancers, dressed exquisitely, exuded a raw intensity that was both mesmerizing and awe-inspiring. Their movements were fluid and precise, conveying a range of emotions from joy to sorrow, anger to love. The intricate footwork, hand gestures, and facial expressions were simply breathtaking, showcasing the incredible skill and artistry of these performers. The live music was equally captivating, with the flamenco guitarist and singers creating a mesmerizing soundtrack that perfectly complemented the dancers' movements. The passionate melodies and rhythmic beats ignited a fire within me, urging me to clap and stomp along with the music. The theater itself was a perfect setting for this intimate flamenco experience. The warm lighting and traditional decor created a cozy atmosphere that added to the overall charm of the show. The small stage allowed me to feel close to the performers, as if I was part of the performance itself. Overall, I highly recommend the Essential Flamenco show to anyone who wants to experience the true essence of flamenco. It is a captivating and unforgettable experience that will leave you wanting more.
Awesome experience with my wife and kids. The music and the dance captivated us. The tavern feel and sangria helped set the mood, too!
This is a must if you're in Madrid! The setting is historic and very unique while the performances were powerful and passionate. This was easily my favorite experience in Madrid, don't hesitate to purchase a ticket. Also, the artists are all local performers as well so any support goes a long way.
