NEW FLAMENCO CLUB in Ronda (Malaga)

The president of the Ronda City Hall Culture Department, Salvador Pendón, inaugurated the installations of the new Flamenco Club (Peña Flamenca) from Ronda (Málaga), this in the presence of the Ronda mayor, Antonio María Marín and the president of the Flamenco Club, Francisco Caballero.


A huge number of Ronda people came to the opening to see the first flamenco performance in their new club. It were the flamenco dancers Fátima y Moisés Navarro who were invited to inaugurate the stage. They were assisted by Delia Membrive (singing), Fran Vinuesa (guitar) and Rafael Heredia (percussion). The typical hand-clapping or ‘palmas’ were done by Juan Santiago and Amara Navarro.

This new flamenco club in Ronda was created by the fusion of the 2 ancient flamenco clubs: “Peña Tobalo” and “Fernanda y Bernarda” . From now on Ronda disposes of a brand new club with a capacity of 400 people.

In his speech the mayor emphasized the importance of having a multifunctional Flamenco club in Ronda, the heart of Andalusia, where flamenco always had a central role for its people. He also added that it will be the ‘socios’ (Alleys) themselves who will bring life to these fantastic installations. Mr. Salvador Pendón on his turn honoured the most important local flamenco stars like Anilla ‘La Gitana’ and Paca Aguilera.
