María Moreno is coming to Tablao Flamenco 1911, and that means something. Because when art comes straight from the cradle, it shows.
It’s not just technique, it’s heritage. It’s the raw force of Cádiz, wrapped in a disarming elegance. Every movement tells a story and every footwork is a tear that hits you directly, unfiltered. A pellizco that doesn’t ask permission and sinks into your soul.
If you’re looking for real flamenco—the kind that gives you goosebumps and leaves you speechless—this is it. And having such an artist just steps away, in the brutal closeness of our tablao… that’s a luxury. There’s no distance here. You feel her energy, her breath, the wood vibrating beneath her feet. It’s an experience you won’t forget.
Secure your spot—these seats go fast!
Many people come to the tablao and are captivated by the power of the footwork or the raw cry of the singer. And that’s fine.
But this week, we invite you to focus on the man who makes it all possible — the architect who builds the stage so that others may shine: guitarist Ricardo Vázquez.
Ricardo is one of those rare guitarists. His mastery isn’t about flashy virtuosity, but about a deep understanding of singing and dance. His guitar doesn’t scream — it speaks, it whispers, it holds everything together. He knows exactly which falseta a singer needs to catch their breath, which strum the dancer’s body demands, and above all, he masters silence — that moment that changes everything.
Having him in the cuadro is a guarantee of true flamenco and solid grounding. His playing is pure, with a groove that seeps into your body and a rhythm that anchors everyone on stage.
To witness him up close at Tablao 1911 is to experience a flamenco masterclass — the kind that’s slow-cooked and full of soul.
If you want to understand the force that fuels the duende, don’t miss this.

Flamenco is an artistic expression that encompasses various disciplines. Its traditional form of learning has been oral transmission. That is why transmitting flamenco dance between generations is a way of learning and preserving it.
The transmission of flamenco dance between generations not only preserves our roots, but also enriches and revitalises the tradition. The new generations inherit the techniques and art of their predecessors.
They add their own interpretation and passion, thus creating a dynamic and lively link with flamenco.
