What is “Triana, puente y aparte” really telling us?

Join Flamenco Fans Worldwide! Miguel Poveda is one of the most important flamenco singers of our time, known for his deep respect for tradition and his very personal way of delivering the cante. Among his many songs there is one that instantly takes us to a very specific neighborhood in Seville: “Triana, puente y aparte”, a set of Triana tangos full of life and everyday images. When you listen to this song, you are not just hearing a beautiful voice and flamenco guitar; you are walking through a neighborhood. The lyrics talk about people going up and down the street, neighbors leaning out from their balconies, the “Campana” and the streets of Seville, an old lady in Amparo street, or a knife grinder passing by offering to sharpen knives and blades. These are scenes that mix humor, jealousy, religion and a bit of mischief, as if the daily life of Triana had been poured completely into the cante. This is one of the most beautiful things about flamenco: a very short verse can contain an entire world. In these tangos it is not only about love or heartbreak; it is about how people really lived in those neighborhoods: old street trades, small rumors between neighbors, devotion, danger and shared laughter. That is why, when Poveda sings these lines, it is not just “a flamenco track”; it is almost a little documentary in the form of a song. Inside our FlamencoGO! community we are using this song as an entry point to better understand what Triana is, how the tangos compás feels, and what these lyrics are really telling us. If you want to learn to listen to flamenco with new ears, discover the stories behind the verses, and start feeling the compás in a simple, friendly way, I invite you to join the community and continue this journey from the inside.

Joaquin Cortes - "Ballet"

Joaquin Cortes - Ballet - Amazing Flamenco Dancer Joaquin Cortés is a Spanish flamenco dancer. A native of Córdoba, Cortés showed interest in dancing from an early age. Cortés and his family moved to Madrid in 1981. Soon after moving to Madrid, he began to take formal dancing lessons and studying seriously. In 1984, he was accepted as a member of Spanish prestigious national ballet company. He traveled the world with the Spanish National Ballet, performing in important venues such as the Metropolitan Opera House (Lincoln Center) of New York and the Kremlin Palace in Moscow. During his stint with the Spanish National Ballet, he also became a principal solo performer known for his phenomenal stamina and athleticism. Desiring more creative control, Cortés formed the Joaquín Cortés Flamenco Ballet company and launched his first international tour 'Cibayí' in 1992. The formation of Cortés' own company allowed him to diverge from purist ballet and create his own fusion of flamenco, ballet and modern dance. In 1995, in addition to being featured in two international films- 'La flor de mi secreto' (The Flower of My Secret) and Carlos Saura's 'Flamenco', Joaquín Cortés embarked on what is often considered his most successful venture, 'Pasión Gitana' (Gypsy Passion). 'Pasión Gitana' marked the beginning of Cortés' recognition for not only his prowess as a dancer, but also as a choreographer and artistic director. In 1999 Cortés was the subject of a documentary film and he launched a successful tour of 'Soul' across North and South America. In the 1990s Joaquín Cortés gained notoriety for his close relationships with high-profile celebrities such as Naomi Campbell, Giorgio Armani and Mira Sorvino. Continuing into the millennium, Cortés' focus shifted from dancing to choreography and artistic direction. He continues to dance in a limited capacity live on stage, in film and television. In 2000, landed a role in the film 'Gitano' (Gypsy) and again in 2004 in 'Vaniglia e cioccolato' (Vanilla and Chocolate). In 2001, he also made a guest appearance on Jennifer Lopez's concert in Puerto Rico. In 2004, Cortés was involved in the international tour of 'De Amor y Odio' that took him to England, Portugal, Thailand and New York, among other places. 2007 marked the beginning of Joaquín Cortés most recent spectacle, 'Mi Soledad
