Flamenco Puro

In his seminal work ‘Flamencologia’, Anselmo González Climent describes flamenco as ‘an intuitive metaphysics, an embodiment of the fundamentals of human expression and a musical manifestation of what the philosopher Miguel de Unamuno described as “the tragic sense of life”’. In this description, Climent perfectly encapsulates the essence of a flamenco performance: the primal cry of the singer, the dramatic movements of the dancer, the passion of the guitarist and, above all, flamenco’s potential to transport both audience and performer to another world. It is this quintessence that the ensemble Flamenco Puro exemplifies in live performance.

In concerts Flamenco Puro, featuring Samuel Moore and guest flamenco dancers and singers, bring to life the powerful rhythms, colours and sounds of Andalucía in a burst of virtuosity, passion and individuality. Each ensemble member is afforded unique showcase opportunities to exemplify pure flamenco within the group setting.
