BG Flamenco News

From morning preparations to palmas practice, thoughtful gifts from students and a night walk with Batres: a day of learning and human warmth.

Some weeks matter for what they awaken within us. Small details with a fan, mantón, hat and castanets open another way of learning and teaching.

From separate posts to pages of one unfolding story. Life, flamenco, family and memory between Andalusia and Japan: the prologue to Behind the Scenes.

A class ends, but its discoveries need not disappear. BG Método, archives and AL ANDALUS 2.0: an ongoing effort to preserve and share flamenco knowledge.

A journey that began before the Shinkansen, caña with Keiko, soleá held up by fellow artists, and the warmth that made Osaka feel like home.

A night at Alhambra filled with reunions, soleá, a costume joining Japan and Andalusia, and the joy of seeing over forty students in the audience.

I left Córdoba alone at sixteen. Thirty-two years later I returned with Teo, to family hugs and a birthday surprise I will never forget.

Students, artists and the audience turned our studio into an intimate stage. Miguel de Badajoz brought cante and memories of the stages we have shared.

A father and a son, a very long flight and the start of a journey back to our roots. Two cultures meet in the trip I share with Teo.
