Experience El Duende

Located in the heart of Las Ramblas, El Duende by Tablao Cordobes is a space where flamenco comes to life in an authentic and passionate way. Founded by the prestigious Cordobes group, with more than 55 years of history, this tablao has become a benchmark of flamenco art in Barcelona.

Those who cross its doors are immersed in an intimate and enveloping atmosphere, where every night talented artists come together to offer a show full of emotion, improvisation and passion.

The soul of flamenco in its purest form

Our flamenco tablao is the stage where flamenco is shown in its most genuine form. Unlike large theatrical productions, where everything is rehearsed in detail, in a tablao like El Duende, the show emerges at the moment.

• Improvisation and spontaneity: Each performance is unique, without fixed choreographies or mechanical repetitions.

• Communication between the artists: Musicians, singers, dancers and dancers challenge each other, observe each other and create together a brilliant atmosphere with choreographies worthy of the best flamenco dances.

• Emotion and feeling: The audience not only watches, but feels the heartbeat of flamenco in every note and every heel tap.

In El Duende by Tablao Cordobes, tradition and avant-garde coexist in perfect harmony, allowing flamenco to evolve without losing its essence.

Every night, a different flamenco show

The power of improvisation

Every night, the stage of El Duende is filled with art with individual performances of great flamenco figures. For 50 minutes, the audience witnesses a show where passion and dedication are absolute.

• El cante jondo: Expresses deep feelings such as love, nostalgia or hope.

• The guitar playing: Accompanies every emotion with vibrant chords and virtuoso solos.

• The dance: A body language that transmits strength, delicacy and character.

Without a strict script, each show comes to life in a unique way, offering a new and unrepeatable experience at each performance.

El Duende: The intangible magic of flamenco

Flamenco cannot be defined with words, because it goes beyond the tangible. The flamenco artists who take the stage at El Duende carry the rhythm and strength of this art in their blood.

What makes flamenco so special in a tablao like this one?

• The closeness between audience and artists: The intimacy of the space allows for a unique connection.

• The emotion on the surface: Every gesture, every look and every chord tells a story.

• The duende: “That inexplicable moment in which flamenco transcends the musical and becomes something almost spiritual” - said by the illustrious Federico García Lorca.

Here, the people in the audience experience flamenco in its purest form, without distractions or artifice.
