"En la memoria del cante: 1922", by the Andalusian Flamenco Ballet

"En la memoria del cante: 1922" is a production by the Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía, directed by Rafaela Carrasco in 2014.

This performance pays homage to the historic 1922 Granada Cante Jondo Contest, a pivotal moment in the history of flamenco. The contest, held in the Plaza de los Aljibes de la Alhambra, was the first of its kind in Spain, led by Manuel de Falla and supported by intellectuals like Federico García Lorca. The show reflects on this landmark event, 90 years later, offering a personal perspective on its significance for flamenco.

Over the course of an hour and a quarter, the performance honors the artists who participated in the contest, recreating iconic performances and incorporating original recordings. The choreography blends traditional elements with contemporary interpretations, paying tribute to the event that shaped the future of flamenco.
