Golly ! It may be difficult to find someone who has witnessed all those acts at the Casa Memoria or elsewhere but one thing I can recommend is to search on You Tube for Videos. It's amazing how many flamenco videos there are. You can possibly find all these artists ? then come to your own conclusion? Difficult I know but I think useful.
Good suggeston. Never thought of that. Thanks.
Puertolover is spot on, I tried it and every one of the listed showes was there, - one of them (Duende Flamenco), had 77 videos!! Good Show PL!!
Thanks! I really enjoyed the last couple of hours!
Flamenco !!
now,I'm watching Carlos Saura's Flamenco(a documentary film-DVD)..exciting!
UnaS,I would like to ask you something about Sephardic music..could you please tell me some of the names of Ladino-language singers(romance-entertainment-spiritual songs)..I prefer ladino language.and I only know Yasmin Levy,Amal Markus,and Yael Naim:)

Totally un related but to do with Seville and music, do you know that the West-East Divan rehearse each year in Seville in the summer and perform at the beginning of August in Seville before moving on to other venues including the Royal Albert Hall in london during our annual music season The Proms. The West - East Divan is a brilliant collection of musicals from Israel and Arab counties and they celebrate their 10th Anniversary this year.
Walking along this river that crosses Sevilla and takes you to the Atlantic, is also a Historical one, a romantic walk, and from here you can also see some of the best monuemnts of Sevilla (except of course Giralda catedral and reales alcazares)
With Seville having a Mediterranean climate, the area can get quite hot during the summer months with temperatures going as high as even 45C, although an average would be 26C. Spring is a pretty time to visit with the Jacaranda trees being in bloom and the temperatures are quite pleasant. The winters are quite mild and most of the rainfall happens during fall.
'Los Reales Alcazares', Abd Al Ramán III ordered in 913 the construction of the Alcazar, a fortified palace which later became the residence of various monarchs. Pedro I, 'the cruel', (1350 to 1369) made significant additions to the palace which is one of the most important examples of Mudéjar architecture in Seville. The numerous rooms, patios and halls vary in architectural styles from the Islamic to Neoclassic. The beautiful gardens and fountains are especially worth visiting.
The Cordoban Hat or Sevillian hat has become one of the most important representations of the Spanish culture. It comes largely in black but also other colours such as grey and beige and is made of mostly wool, felt or rabbit hair. It is worn not only by men but by the women as well, usually at bull fights, horse riding and of course in flamenco dancing. It is believed that the hat had its beginnings in Cordoba, hence the name, although it is thought that it was used by farm workers. It became more popular during the 19th and early part of the 20th century.
Yet another Long day with the walk to Aldeanueva del Camino -- 38k -- refugio
This is a difficult section to split -- you end up with either very long or very short days
No facilities en-route so make sure that you have sufficient food and water !!
The "Triumphal Arch" makes a Great half way point break !!
