«For me the tablao is the largest school in flamenco»”
«The tablao gives you the opportunity to improvise at every dance, as well as forcing you to listen and respect the sing and the guitar. I personally have had wonderful nights at tablao, where unique and unrepeatable moments are created that cannot be given in a theater or other place where everything has to be measured and rehearsed».
