Bio / presentation
The Peña Flamenca La Platería, founded in 1949 in Granada's emblematic Albaicín neighborhood, is the oldest flamenco club in Spain and a fundamental pillar for safeguarding and disseminating the art of flamenco. Its main mission is to preserve the purity and essence of flamenco (singing, guitar playing, and dancing), recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The Peña regularly organizes top-tier recitals, conferences, training courses, and gatherings for enthusiasts and artists, promoting research and the intergenerational transmission of this ancestral knowledge. It is a place of worship and coexistence where the flamenco tradition is kept alive, fostering respect for its roots and ensuring that new generations connect with the richness and depth of this universal artistic expression.
