International Flamenco Day 2021
Multiple Concerts and Conferences across Spain on International Flamenco Day 2021
The General Society of Authors and Editors (SGAE) has announced a series called El Latido Flamenco (Flamenco Heartbeat) to celebrate International Flamenco Day on November 16, 2021. The events include concerts, roundtables and a photographic exhibition.
The November 16 anniversary commemorates the proclamation of Flamenco by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. SGAE joins this celebration in 2021 to disseminate what is undoubtedly one of the most representative and international symbols of Spanish culture.
El Latido Flamenco includes events in Madrid, Seville, Barcelona, Valencia, Santiago de Compostela and Zaragoza, with live performances by renowned flamenco artists. The series also includes roundtable discussions that will address issues such as the contribution and presence of women in flamenco and the challenges that the genre is currently facing.
