In flamenco, as in all arts, historians, specialists and critics progressively defined the reference periods. The period that they called ‘La Edad de Oro’, The Golden Age of Flamenco, corresponds to a period running from the end of the 19th century to the 30’s of the 20th. This Golden Age made particular reference to singing and dancing, guitar not taking its rightful rise until much later. According to this approach, no singer or dancer today, except in exceptional cases will be able to equal the quality, purity and creativity of those who carrying flamenco its peak, marked this Golden Age. Since then, there has been a decline in the formal model of flamenco art that was established in the period, impoverishing, simplifying, crossings and fusions but also a loss of the content, the sense and spirit which animate this art.

To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of this show, a classic of his repertoire, which has had hundreds of performances around the world, Israel Galván renews the program with the voice of Maria Marin and Rafael Rodríguez on guitar at his side.
