mikeaustin120/05/2024 There are numerous Flamenco companies and options in Seville, ranging from large, flashy shows in auditoriums to small, intimate gatherings in bars and cafès. After doing a lot of research on the art form, I decided to look for one that was more true to its authentic roots - which usually involves a more intimate setting. Also, Flamenco is a vocal music as well, with poignant lyrics about various aspects of love, political oppression, and many other things. A good Flamenco performance will often just have singing. Flamenco Esencia is one of the truest to the historical art form - they usually employ 4 performers: dancers (male and female), a guitarist, and a singer. This group alternates between 2-3 performers of each type; our night the people were fantastic, every one of them. Flamenco Esencia is also notable because at least one of the performers personally meets the group, takes them through the historic Triana neighborhood to 2-3 tapas bars to sample the local cuisine, and discusses Flamenco, eats, drinks, culture, and all aspects. Then they escort you to a small bar where the performance takes place. That night, our guide Maria met us just over the bridge in Triana, then we went to a few tapas places to eat and drink. Maria was personable, nice, and informative, and we had a great chat with our group. Then we went to the bar - again, note, this is not the place for you if you want flashy, super-costumed over-the-top performances. This is more for "real", intimate Flameco as it grew in these little types of places. I loved the intimacy (about 25 people total); there was no flashy stage, just an area in the bar where the performers did their stuff. There were no fancy lights or effects; they sat together and performed about 60-70 minutes of enthralling songs. There was a large piece of plywood where they would "stomp" their dances, but each performer had a chance to solo as well. Each one was fully professional and truly knew their art form. No mics or amps; this was pure music and dance without electricity. Maria wore a Flamenco dress while the other performers were simply dressed in black or "regular" clothes (like a casual suit), of course the dancers' shoes were specially fitted to stomp out the Flamenco rhythms. They were all so good I was spellbound. It was one of the best performances I've ever attended live. We also got 1 drink ticket for a free drink from the little bar (a nice plus). After the performance, Maria escorted us to one more tapas bar, where we had a delicious array of food and talked about various things, including what we just experienced. All in all a terrific night! I highly recommend this troupe if you want intimate, true-to-historical Flamenco, especially with the extra tapas tour added to the package. 5 thumbs up to this outfit! Marisa Cecilia Vega14/05/2024 Excelente!!!!felicitaciones por el hermoso show!!una genia MARIA!Amable y muy anfitriona Martyn Cole12/05/2024 We had such a a wonderful time. A really personal and informal experience where we learnt a little about flamenco from performers clearly so passionate about their art. Thank you all and thank you staff at hotel Casa Alhaja for the recommendation. Monique van Daalen04/05/2024 The Ultimate Flamenco Experience was very disappointing. It as very expensive and it would have been easier booking everything by ourselves (show and flamenco lesson 45 minutes)We had to walk for more than 1.5 hour to get there and come back and didnt't know what food was included. In the brochure the taxi was included, but that did not happen. We saw the show wich was very nice and went to 1 tapasbar around the corner. When we mailed the organization about the experience they answered by explaining the costs. Still I believe that the experience could have been better. Ziegrid Steen04/05/2024 Amazing experience, intimate and homely feel rather than sitting in rows in a concert hall. Dancing, clapping, singing and guitar playing mixed with some storytelling of flamenco. Highly recommended. Odebarth27/03/2024 We spent an evening full of authentic flamenco. Telling us the history and the giving us the experience. We got ourselves a first real instruction/lesson on handclap and moves. Joining on a tapas shared dining. If you like a true flamenco dance with passionate dancers, this is a very good place to be. Steven Purdy14/03/2024 Very rustic venue bit old and tired but well worth a visit informative not Commercialised Kirsten Daub12/03/2024 This was a delightful way to experience Flamenco. The performers were all very talented and clearly loved their art and appreciated each other. It was a small and intimate setting, and the host explained things about their dances, the music, the history of Flamenco, all of which allowed me to appreciate the performance so much more.
EXCELENTE A base de 110 reseñas Dan142uk2024-05-16Verificada Vale cada centavo Un fantástico espectáculo íntimo en un pequeño bar. Realmente se sentía más auténtico que un dulce fabricado. ¡Los 4 artistas fueron excelentes! Los asientos podrían haber sido más cómodos, pero el sufrimiento realmente valió la pena. No puedo recomendar esto más tangoloontje2024-04-27Verificada Teleurstellende ervaring flamenco tour sevilla De prijs in verhouding met wat we kregen was niet ok. 570 euro heeft dit gekost voor 4 personen. We moesten 2 uur lopen en hadden de hele experience zelf kunnen regelen voor minder dan de helft. De show was gewoon toegankelijk en de tapas daarna was om de hoek. Het was niet bijzonder en degene die mee ging had een envelopje met afgepast geld waardoor we geen idee hadden wat wel en niet kon. Onze reactie naar de organisatie gaf geen reactie terug. Samengevat: teleurgesteld en zonde van het geld JB2024-03-18Verificada No te lo pierdas.... ¡el mejor! Absolutamente fantástico. La intimidad del lugar y la poca cantidad de gente. Gran ambiente y talentos fantásticos. Me encantó tocar la guitarra y cantar fue espectacular y, por supuesto, la maravillosa Kati, bailarina de flamenco, fue increíble al igual que su bailarín invitado Álvaro. maestradeb2024-03-18Verificada ¿Es hora de jubilarse? Artistas claramente capacitados siguiendo sus ritmos, pero sin intensidad ni pasión. Parecía una noche más de trabajo. Agradable pero no emocionante. Visitamos otro grupo de flamenco la noche siguiente y era obvio que este grupo había pasado su mejor momento. C9303CSdianad2024-03-04Verificada Rendimiento auténtico y apasionado ¡Me encanta! ¡Ambiente auténtico, artistas y músicos apasionados! ¡Fantástica actuación! ¡Vale la pena pagar la tarifa! Invitaron a artistas de calidad a actuar juntos. ¡Es una mezcla tan vibrante y me encanta mucho! Przemysław S2024-02-16Verificada Pareja de Suecia ¡El espectáculo de flamenco fue realmente increíble! Nos sorprendió positivamente la energía y pasión que los artistas mostraron en el escenario. Las expresiones faciales de los artistas eran una pura joya. ¡Todos deberían venir a verlos! Rocío2024-01-11Verificada Decepcionante espectáculo flamenco Teníamos muchas ganas de ver un espectáculo flamenco en Sevilla pero nos llevamos una ingrata sorpresa. La bailarina no sabía bailar ni le puso pasión, y la cantante no llegaba a las notas. Sólo se salvaron el guitarrista y el bailarín. Una pena haber visto algo así en Triana,una de las cunas del flamenco… Jane B2024-01-06Verificada Completamente agradable Noche fantástica, realmente disfruté el espectáculo y la historia del flamenco, mi tercera experiencia en el flamenco español y esta es la primera vez que aprendo sobre el viaje del flamenco. Muy bien Olivier P.2024-01-01Verificada A éviter ... Arrivés 15 minutes avant le spectacle, nous nous sommes retrouvés sur des tabourets dans la porte d'entrée, sans table. Un serveur qui n'arrête pas de passer devant vous durant le spectacle pour servir les clients. Spectacle d'une durée d'à peine 55 minutes, très moyen. Des explications intéressantes mais pas assez de démonstration. Service en salle médiocre, 1 serveur débordé et une sangria pas bonne. Bref nous ne pouvons pas recommander. Marcel_D20132023-10-23Verificada Excelente e íntimo espectáculo de flamenco en un pequeño espacio maravilloso en Triana. Excelente e íntimo espectáculo de flamenco en un pequeño espacio maravilloso en Triana. Está todo bien explicado, tanto en español como en (buen) inglés. Como extra hubo la actuación de un guitarrista y lugareños bailando flamenco. ¡Toda la gente y el personal realmente amables! ¡Muy recomendable si quieres una verdadera experiencia flamenca! Muchas gracias! (Tenga en cuenta que Tripadvisor dice que está en la calle Betis, pero esto no es correcto. Está en la calle Duarte, cerca de la calle Betis).

About
MARÍA “LA SERRANA”
Training Maria “La Serrana” started her flamenco training with great teachers such as Antonio Canales, Matilde Coral, Manolete, Manuela Carrasco, Carmelilla Montoya and Carmen Ledesma. She continued to renew herself with teachers with a more modern style such as Adela Campallo, Rafael Campallo and Antonio Molina “Choro”, who was a guest artist of her company for 8 years.
However, she owes her unique style of flamenco, her “stamp”, to the Farruco family and especially to Farruquito. It can be said that she is one of the values of this school, since she has studied daily with the Farrucos since 1999 for 9 years. In 1999 La Serrana opened the doors of her ‘tablao’ in Seville. Eversince she has taught classes both in Seville and abroad
In 2012 she founded tablao Flamenco Esencia, an intimate space where artists from Seville and abroad meet. At Flamenco Esencia she performs daily sharing the stage with the most famous artists in Seville. Her business partner Antonio Moreno “Polito” is in charge of organizing special events. He is also a guest artist on their tours since 2018.
