reviews & testimonials

What a night!... astounding virtuosity...impressively emotive (and) enigmatic... astonishing tempos, stamping and twirling...setting hearts racing. The real pleasure... is watching the collaboration of musicians and dancers... all the performers here are paragons of focus, muttering encouragements to each other in the rhythmic intervals. Alba Flamenca really succeeds in transporting you out of Edinburgh to some romantic sala or a basement bar in Cadiz - utterly entertaining!

Muy precioso! I love good flamenco and I hate the fake, underdone flamenco that is sometimes served up... I need not have feared. (Alba Flamenca) is genuine and very talented. Muy preciosos!

Offering the pure experience is Alba Flamenca...with a spontaneity of expression that can elude more theatrically staged productions.

I am not a generous reviewer by nature so when you see that I gave this show 5 stars it reflects how superior it is. The dancing is jaw dropping...(and an)... amazing guitarist. I took my kids... they were mesmorised...! Absolutely fantastic in every aspect!

...my partner is Spanish and she thought the flamenco performance was one of the best she has ever seen!... A very enjoyable evening, which started with some delicious tapas... a fantastic cultural experience that will satisfy 'foodies' and those who appreciate Flamenco.

To be honest, this is astounding!... impeccable musicianship and dancing... Alba Flamenca...impress even the most uninitiated...never for a moment letting the dramatic atmosphere become substandard, this show (is) a rich musical display of many aspects of a diverse art form. Very alive, with explosive, vivacious dancing and very intense!

This is flamenco puro. Central to this performance is the music, The dancers...breathe it in, taking inspiration from it (and charting) a whole kaleidoscope of human emotions. Filled with elemental power...!
