Agenda

Passion, intricate rhythms, and awe-inspiring performances are what you might associate today with the word flamenco.

However, to truly understand the essence of this way of living, one must delve into the rich depths of its history, marked by the struggles and influences of minority communities.

Our goal is to meticulously study the multifaceted history of flamenco, from its early stages to the sold-out shows of today, with a focus on the hardships and influences of minority groups.

Expect extensive references, comparative analysis of literature, and an introduction to fundamental flamenco music concepts with practical demonstrations. By the end of this course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of flamenco’s origins, its significance to those who have shaped it, and its continuing impact on culture and history.

We invite you to participate in this 3-part series of conference, by registering for each part individually by mail to: rocio.meza@astm.lu
