Flamenco begins with the voice.
Its earliest forms came from the human voice alone, as personal release, without instruments and without dance. That singing is the cante, and it is the reason UNESCO recognizes flamenco as Intangible Cultural Heritage. In the United States, it is heard far less often than the dancing.
Severin Flamenco presents, teaches, and documents the cante for audiences in Florida.
We bring cantaores from Spain to perform alongside musicians and dancers already living and working here, so that each project leaves relationships and skills in the local community rather than passing through it. Every concert is paired with an open masterclass for local artists, and we will project the sung poetry in English translation so that audiences understand what they are hearing rather than simply hearing it.
In August 2026 we produced "Cante y Lienzo" in West Palm Beach with Paco del Pozo, winner of the Lámpara Minera, and Andalusian guitarist José Manuel Alconchel, sponsored by the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County. We are now developing a 2027 Florida concert and masterclass tour, and producing a documentary that follows Paco del Pozo between Madrid and Florida, filming where the tradition is transmitted and where it now arrives.
Your support pays for artist travel, venues, teaching, and filming.
