Andr\u00e9s Mar\u00edn signs the aesthetic concept; Mar\u00edn and Luis Ybarra share artistic direction, script and programme; Benito Jim\u00e9nez contributes to the stage space and lighting design; and Cachito Valles takes charge of the visual dimension and the creation of props.<\/p>\n<p>It is therefore best to go expecting a stage creation rather than simply a concentration of major names.

El ole, the saxophones and the echo of Pastora<\/h3>\n<p>The evening begins with an image that directly evokes the expansive atmosphere of \u00d3pera Flamenca: <strong>a saxophone battle<\/strong>. Juan Jim\u00e9nez and Alfonso Padilla open that soundscape, accompanied by Manolo Franco and the palmas of El Oruco and Abel Harana.<\/p>\n<p>The reference to Pastora inevitably leads to <strong>La Ni\u00f1a de los Peines<\/strong>, one of the central figures of the period. The opening works as a statement of intent: historical flamenco is not locked away in a display case, but is crossed by instrumentation that recalls the popular, urban and spectacular character of those years.<\/p>\n<h3>II. Generation of \u201927: ca\u00f1a, bambera, Levante and canti\u00f1as<\/h3>\n<p>The second passage brings together <strong>\u00c1ngeles Toledano, El Perrete and Manuel de la Tomasa<\/strong>. The announced repertoire combines a three-voice ca\u00f1a, bambera, airs from the Levante and canti\u00f1as, with David de Arahal and Alfredo Lagos on guitar.<\/p>\n<p>Here the focus is the relationship between <strong>poetry and cante<\/strong> in the cultural environment of the Generation of \u201927. The intergenerational purpose is also clear: three young voices engage with historical material without necessarily imitating forms from a century ago.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>III. El cerco y la luna: grana\u00edna y media<\/h3>\n<p>This is the fragment chosen by the Biennial for the open rehearsal on 4 September. The title starts from the image of a halo around the moon as an omen and develops around <strong>grana\u00edna y media<\/strong>, one of the cantes that Antonio Chac\u00f3n decisively helped bring into the concert sphere.<\/p>\n<p>The official show listing credits Patricia Guerrero and Eduardo Leal in the dance, accompanied by the saxophones of Juan Jim\u00e9nez and Alfonso Padilla and the guitars of Jos\u00e9 Luis Medina and Jes\u00fas Rodr\u00edguez. However, the public rehearsal was performed by Guerrero and Andr\u00e9s Mar\u00edn. The most prudent approach is to treat the programme listing as the planned cast until an update is published.<\/p>\n<p>The combination is especially interesting: the saxophone, associated here with the bustle of large shows in the 1920s, pulls back to coexist with a cante of great suspension and inwardness.<\/p>\n<h3>IV. La mano aqu\u00ed: Vallejo, Catalina and the Ballet Flamenco de Andaluc\u00eda<\/h3>\n<p>The fourth passage belongs to the <strong>Ballet Flamenco de Andaluc\u00eda<\/strong> and is built around two milestones from 1926: the award of the second Llave de Oro del Cante to Manuel Vallejo and the release of the rumba <em>Catalina<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>This is not simply about citing Vallejo. The choreography explores how dance can celebrate and reread a moment when cante was reaching mass audiences and new forms of circulation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_huge color_alternate with_shape\"><div class=\"l-section-shape type_zigzag pos_top\" style=\"height:3vmin;\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 8\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\">\r\n\t<path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M64 8 L0 8 L0 0 L20 7.9 L40 3 L48 5 L64 0 Z\"\/>\r\n<\/svg><\/div><div class=\"l-section-shape type_zigzag pos_bottom\" style=\"height:3vmin;\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 8\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\">\r\n\t<path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M64 8 L0 8 L0 0 L20 7.9 L40 3 L48 5 L64 0 Z\"\/>\r\n<\/svg><\/div><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>V. La Tremendita and a petenera taken into another territory<\/h3>\n<p>The fifth part is reserved for <strong>Rosario La Tremendita<\/strong>, who appears on vocals and bass, with Manolo Franco on guitar. The title of the passage, <em>Tremenda petenera. Vuelta a un mundo nuevo<\/em>, perfectly anticipates the approach.<\/p>\n<p>The petenera retains all its historical weight but enters the language of an artist used to working with new textures, instruments and structures. It is probably one of the moments where it will be clearest that the gala does not aim to reproduce the past, but to <strong>make it productive in the present<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>VI. Arc\u00e1ngel and the cantes de ida y vuelta<\/h3>\n<p>Arc\u00e1ngel leads a passage devoted to the <strong>idas y vueltas<\/strong>, with Manolo Franco and Alfredo Lagos on guitar, Daniel Su\u00e1rez on percussion and El Oruco and Abel Harana on palmas.<\/p>\n<p>The very idea of ida y vuelta fits a gala about circulation: music travels, changes and returns. Arc\u00e1ngel\u2019s voice, equally at home in traditional repertoire and research-based projects, is especially well suited to this part of the journey.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>VII. Martirio: flamenco operas, cupl\u00e9s and variety shows<\/h3>\n<p><em>El mundo en una peineta<\/em> will be the territory of <strong>Martirio<\/strong>, accompanied by Alfredo Lagos, Daniel Su\u00e1rez and the comp\u00e1s of El Oruco and Abel Harana.<\/p>\n<p>It is one of the most natural pairings in the entire production. For decades, Martirio\u2019s career has worked with copla, flamenco, song, jazz and a distinctive iconography in which the peineta is almost a visual signature. In a work that recovers the ecosystem of cupl\u00e9s and variety shows, her presence is not peripheral: it represents a line of continuity between those hybrid forms and contemporary creation.<\/p>\n<h3>VIII. Jos\u00e9 el de la Tomasa por sole\u00e1<\/h3>\n<p>After several passages of expansion and mixture, the programme draws inward with the <strong>sole\u00e1 of Jos\u00e9 el de la Tomasa<\/strong>, accompanied by David de Arahal. The explicit reference to the <strong>Alameda de H\u00e9rcules<\/strong> takes the show towards a deeply Sevillian memory.<\/p>\n<p>It is one of the moments where voice, time and transmission will probably matter more than outward spectacle. The Biennial thus places rooted cante at the centre of the narrative, not as a nostalgic counterpoint, but as one of the forces that supports everything else.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_huge\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>IX.

The choice connects with the cantaor\u2019s own Jerez lineage and with the memory of Paco la Luz, one of his ancestors and a fundamental figure in the transmission of siguiriya styles.<\/p>\n<p>Placing Merc\u00e9 at this point in the programme provides a dense culmination before the final shift in register.

The closing section will be a <strong>collective romer\u00eda por fandangos<\/strong>, with all the participants.<\/p>\n<p>The choice has a very specific historical intention. At the 1922 Concurso de Cante Jondo in Granada, fandangos were excluded because they were considered too closely linked to folklore. Just a few years later, however, they became enormously popular and one of the great engines of mass-audience flamenco.<\/p>\n<p>Ending with fandangos turns that hierarchy on its head: what was once rejected for not seeming sufficiently \u201cjondo\u201d becomes a shared celebration.

For some, it represented a commercialisation that displaced certain cantes; for others, it was a period of enormous creativity and expansion that produced essential artists, styles and recordings.<\/p>\n<p><em>El mundo por montera<\/em> avoids a simplistic reading. It does not argue that everything before was purer or that popular success automatically destroyed the art. On the contrary, it uses the tension between intimacy and spectacle to explain how flamenco could grow while still preserving smaller spaces of transmission.<\/p>\n<p>That debate remains current. The gala lets us see how a virtually bare sole\u00e1, a large dance ensemble, saxophones, bass, percussion and a bullring prepared for thousands of people can coexist today.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_huge\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 id=\"maestranza\">The Real Maestranza is more than just a spectacular venue<\/h2>\n<p>The choice of the <strong>Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza<\/strong> has historical meaning. A century ago, bullrings were among the spaces able to turn flamenco into a spectacle for large audiences. Bringing this 1926 rereading into Seville\u2019s arena returns the genre to one of the architectural formats that helped drive its expansion.<\/p>\n<p>The Maestranza also forces us to think differently about stage scale. It is not a conventional proscenium theatre: the arena, the distance, the height of the stands and the circular character of the space all shape how cante and baile are perceived.<\/p>\n<p>The bullring is also one of the most distinctive venues of the entire edition.

The change of scale<\/h3>\n<p>Listen to how cante adapts to a space designed for thousands of people. The very history the show commemorates is about that leap from small settings to mass venues.<\/p>\n<h3>2. The role of the saxophones<\/h3>\n<p>They are not an eccentric decoration. They act as a direct reference to the musical atmosphere of the 1920s and appear both in expansive moments and in the inward atmosphere of the grana\u00edna.<\/p>\n<h3>3. The dialogue between generations<\/h3>\n<p>The line-up does not set \u201cold\u201d against \u201cnew\u201d. Jos\u00e9 Merc\u00e9, Jos\u00e9 el de la Tomasa, \u00c1ngeles Toledano, El Perrete and Manuel de la Tomasa occupy different positions within a chain of transmission that is still alive.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-6 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h3>4. The transformation of the palos<\/h3>\n<p>Petenera, cantes de ida y vuelta, sole\u00e1, seguiriya and fandangos appear with different dramatic functions. The gala offers a rare opportunity to see how a style can retain its identity while also changing according to who performs it and the context in which it is placed.<\/p>\n<h3>5. The closing fandangos<\/h3>\n<p>This is probably the historical key that is easiest to overlook. The programme ends by celebrating precisely a cante that the 1922 Granada Competition had excluded because it was considered unsuitable for its idea of jondo.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Staging as part of the argument<\/h3>\n<p>Andr\u00e9s Mar\u00edn and Luis Ybarra have not simply assembled a line-up. The lighting, the use of the arena, the dance ensemble, changes in instrumentation and the order of the artists are all part of the argument about how flamenco became a major performing art.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_huge color_alternate with_shape\"><div class=\"l-section-shape type_zigzag pos_top hor_flip\" style=\"height:3vmin;\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 8\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\">\r\n\t<path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M64 8 L0 8 L0 0 L20 7.9 L40 3 L48 5 L64 0 Z\"\/>\r\n<\/svg><\/div><div class=\"l-section-shape type_zigzag pos_bottom\" style=\"height:3vmin;\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 64 8\" preserveAspectRatio=\"none\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\">\r\n\t<path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M64 8 L0 8 L0 0 L20 7.9 L40 3 L48 5 L64 0 Z\"\/>\r\n<\/svg><\/div><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Practical summary<\/h2>\n<div style=\"overflow-x: auto;\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Question<\/th>\n<th>Answer<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>When is it?<\/td>\n<td>Thursday 10 September 2026 at 9:30 pm.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Where?<\/td>\n<td>Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballer\u00eda de Sevilla.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Who is singing?<\/td>\n<td>Jos\u00e9 Merc\u00e9, Jos\u00e9 el de la Tomasa, Martirio, Arc\u00e1ngel, La Tremendita, \u00c1ngeles Toledano, El Perrete and Manuel de la Tomasa.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Who is dancing?<\/td>\n<td>Ballet Flamenco de Andaluc\u00eda with Patricia Guerrero; the listing for one passage also includes Eduardo Leal.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Who is directing?<\/td>\n<td>Andr\u00e9s Mar\u00edn and Luis Ybarra.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>How many parts are there?<\/td>\n<td>Nine passages and a final romer\u00eda por fandangos.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>How much are the tickets?<\/td>\n<td>From \u20ac25, according to the Andalusian Cultural Agenda.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Is it a Unique Night?<\/td>\n<td>Yes, the Biennial programmes it as a single performance.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_huge\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2>One of the events that best explains the theme of the 2026 Biennial<\/h2>\n<p><em>El mundo por montera<\/em> has the obvious attraction of bringing together an extraordinary number of artists, but its real interest goes beyond the line-up. The gala offers a complete reading of a historical moment when flamenco changed in scale, means of circulation and relationship with the public.<\/p>\n<p>The choice of the Maestranza, the saxophones, the tribute to Vallejo, La Tremendita\u2019s petenera, Jos\u00e9 el de la Tomasa\u2019s sole\u00e1, Jos\u00e9 Merc\u00e9\u2019s seguiriya and the final romer\u00eda por fandangos all form part of the same argument. The work looks back to 1926 to ask what remains, what has changed and how a tradition stays alive when each generation interprets it anew.<\/p>\n<p>That is why our recommendation is not to go simply expecting to \u201csee lots of artists\u201d. The best way to enjoy the evening will be to follow the journey and notice how each intervention connects with the previous one and prepares the next.
