In the weeks remaining in October, we are taking a short break from our meetings and presentations to offer some educational sessions, which can be followed in person or in the podcast section of our website, to analyze and study the cante from one of the greatest performers in history, led by our colleague José María Castaño, with free admission at our headquarters and free subscription on our website.
The reason is none other than 150th anniversary commemoration, this 2025, of the birth of Joaquín Fernández Franco, known in art as Joaquin from PaulaThis creator of some soleá variants was born in Alcalá de Guadaira in 1875. An ideal anniversary to approach the legacy attributed to this key figure of the cante of all time. So we invite you to our Classroom Study Podcast Flamencos where we will listen to the most significant recordings that will bring us closer to his legacy.
