HCMC - A night dedicated to the Spanish unique art form of flamenco will take place at Cool Cats Jazz Club in Hanoi on Saturday, September 21.

Not only is flamenco well known for being the essence of Spanish music but also a phenomenal means of communication between guitarists and dancers as well as flamenco performers and viewers.

The essence of flamenco is expressed through cante (song), baile (dance) and guitarra (guitar). Flamenco has been transformed and modernized by being fused with other forms of music.

The show will particularly highlight gypsy jazz flamenco, a style of flamenco that mixes the traditional sounds of flamenco with a more modern, inspired new sound of jazz, and provides a faster and more exciting sound.

Joining the Gypsy Jazz Flamenco Night at Cool Cats, the audience can also enjoy Spaniard-inspired cocktails as well as tapas, a well-known delicacy in Spanish cuisine, prepared by Spanish guest chef Joan Ruiz Alba.

The show offers free entrance and runs from 8:30 p.m. till late.
