La Familia de los Reyes
Two generations of artists are on stage to show what is usually hidden from the eyes of the layman: the living memory of a clan, with Gypsy dance at the core of their every movement.
Flamenco has no university, it only has families. From time immemorial, families are the bedrock where all that is unique about this art form are made, passed on and preserved. It is inside the family that one experiences the flamenco identity, as a given and a responsibility. A flamenco Gypsy family is a boisterous encyclopaedia that has collected and nurtured a sound-based family tree for more than 200 years. The grand-children have an intimate knowledge of how “por soléa” – the great grand-father’ – sang, although they never knew him. Memory and transmission are what this is about. La Familia de los Reyes is one of those families that act as guardians of the flamenco treasure. Two generations of artists are on stage to show – that is a most daring and generous intention – what is usually hidden from the eyes of the layman: the living memory of a clan, with Gypsy dance at the core of their every movement.
