The "Tablao d’autore" series, created in 2004 by ArteyFlamenco, is dedicated to that particular form of performance that features solo or small ensemble performances by renowned Flamenco artists, in settings other than large theaters. The idea behind it, then as now, is to present the three fundamental elements of Flamenco—toque (guitar), cante (singing), and baile (dance)—in intimate spaces, offering aficionados authentic, 'pure' performances, free from the superstructures necessary for large stages. The event, which has grown steadily, led in 2009 to the creation of a biennial International Festival/Competition—Flamenco Puro, now held in Jerez de la Frontera—and in 2013, to the organization of a new 'young' version of the series, titled Tablao d'Autore - Nuevas Generaciones. In 2016, the new series #CompartirTablao was born, and since last season, it has also been organized in collaboration with Folkclub. "Tablao d’autore," the original among all the projects, initially proposed on a biennial basis and always organized in collaboration with Folkclub, which from the beginning believed in AYF's Flamenco projects, is one of the most prestigious Flamenco events offered in Turin. It brings together various artists, virtuosos of baile, toque, and cante, each excelling in their discipline, who have the ability to create a rare level of balance on the tablao. With the desire to continue this well-established collaboration, AYF & Folkclub have decided to offer this special evening every season, eagerly awaited by Flamenco enthusiasts and curious newcomers alike. In recent editions, we have "raised the bar," offering our audience three outstanding performers in baile, cante, and music. In this 2025 edition of the baile, we will have the honor of hosting Marco Flores, a renowned artist who has performed on the world’s most prestigious stages. Marco Flores, bailaor and choreographer from Cádiz, is a unique figure and a multifaceted artist who, thanks to his extraordinary talent and strong personality, has won the most prestigious awards in the world of Flamenco. A complete artist, he is both bailaor and dancer, as well as an exceptional choreographer: his versatility allows him to blend Flamenco, dance, and creation with remarkable naturalness. In addition to an impeccable technique, finely refined by a stylistic and rhythmic taste of the highest level, he possesses a strong personality that on stage has the power to captivate everyone — both the seasoned Flamenco connoisseur and the newcomer. Marco is considered one of the most significant artists on the current scene, able to offer us a traditional and pure Flamenco, yet never without a deeply personal touch, characteristic of today’s great figures.
On the tablas of Folkclub, individual bailes will alternate with moments of cante and music, thanks to two great musicians: on cante, El Quini De Jerez, a distinctive voice, an artist with an antiguo flavor, a cantaor of rare flamencura belonging to the Gypsy family of the Pastillas, who will bring to Folkclub stage the authentic essence of Jerez. On toque, a guitarist and Master of the guitar: Jose Tomas, a young artist already considered one of the most skilled in accompanying both cante and Flamenco baile, will gift us moments of pure Flamenco.
Hosting these three figures of Flamenco, spoken of with admiration and respect among enthusiasts for their technical skills, artistic generosity, and impeccable Flamenco purity, is an honor and a source of excitement for us. Tablao d’Autore aims to remain a window onto the most genuine form of Flamenco representation, and this format, in a perfect blend of "history" and personal notes, manages to tell its Flamenco story with truth, without filters, making us feel privileged to host it among us and "breathe" it up close. A great evening is in store, unmissable as always at Folkclub, where the quality of the offerings is high and rich in authenticity.
