For an enchanting introduction to the seductive art form of flamenco, buy tickets to an evening performance at Casa de la Memoria in the Santa Cruz District. Held in the lush outdoor courtyard of an ancient Sephardi palace-house, from the moment the guitarist strums his first chord and the singer begins clapping a quiet rhythm with his hands, you’ll be rapt to the story about to unfold. Flamenco involves three elements, the guitarist, the singer, and the dancers, telling the tale of a passionate, and often tortured love affair. When the elements meld together, the whirling fever of the dance, the moaning chants of the singer, and the melody of the classical guitar, the affect is heartbreakingly palpable.
