Día de Andalucía

Día de Andalucía

Author: Flamenco Attitude March 11, 2023 Duration: 18:33

For many, 28th February is usually just the last day of the shortest month. But for the province of Andalucia, it’s their own special day! It’s a day of rest, celebrations and even political rallies. We look at its origins that take us back to “the father of Andalucia”. Learn about what happens on Día de Andalucía and who got special honours this year.

You can hear our musical choices spread across the podcast on Spotify.


Flamenco Attitude moves beyond the stage to explore the soul of a living art form. Each episode is a conversation between a curious host and an expert co-host, unpacking the rhythms, history, and raw emotion that define flamenco culture. You’ll hear discussions that range from the technical intricacies of playing guitar or the footwork of dance to the broader lifestyle and philosophy that fuels this passionate expression. The podcast regularly highlights the great artists, both legendary and contemporary, who shape the genre’s evolving story. It’s an invitation to understand the attitude behind the music-the duende, the tradition, and the modern innovations. Alongside these deep-dive conversations, the show often incorporates musical selections, offering a curated auditory experience that complements the talk. For anyone drawn to the sound of a soleá or the intensity of a performer’s gaze, this podcast provides context, appreciation, and a genuine connection to a fascinating world. Tune in for a journey into the heart of flamenco, where every palo and compás has a tale to tell.
