Author: Flamenco Attitude May 27, 2023 Duration: 30:55
Every influential flamenco family is famous for a type of performance - song, dance or playing. In the first of our series on dynasties, we'll talk about the Lebrijanos. Lebrijano is one of the most famous Gypsy flamenco artists and the son of La Perrata – the cousin of Fernanda y Bernarda de Utrera. He also has family ties with La Niña de los Peines, and recorded with all the big guitarists. Marcos also talks about seeing his sister – Inés Bacán live at the Barbican theatre many years ago – along with Moraito. And can you remember which is the festival that Lenrija is famous for?Follow us on Twitter ⁠@flamencopodYou 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.
