Two takes on the sounds of flamenco
Today we have two different takes on a sound so distinctive and valuable that it’s listed by UNESCO as an item of intangible cultural heritage – Spanish flamenco. We took in both ends of the flamenco scale – the polished, flamboyant displays put on for tourists at the Museo del Baile Flamenco, and the performances at La Carboneria, a backroom bar tucked away in an alley in the city.
