Festival Flamenco de Gines — Gines (Seville), 2016

This is the complete recording of the Festival Flamenco de Gines, 2016 edition, filmed by Gines Televisión in the town of Gines, in the province of Seville (Andalusia, Spain). According to the recording’s title, the evening paid tribute to Antonio Valencina and brought together local cantaores (flamenco singers). Rooted in the cultural life of a town in the Sevillian Aljarafe, the heartland of cante, the festival highlights flamenco singing accompanied by guitar in the Andalusian tradition. This kind of community event, often run by a peña flamenca, places local artists alongside recognized figures of the genre in the intimate atmosphere typical of Andalusian village festivals. The program reflects flamenco as living heritage: traditional palos, flamenco guitar and audience participation. This is a multi-artist live concert; beyond the reference to “local cantaores” and the tribute to Antonio Valencina stated in the video, the exact names of the performers are not reliably documented. This filmed concert stands as a testimony to the vitality of both amateur and professional flamenco in the province of Seville in the mid-2010s, captured live for the town’s own television channel.
