Grand finale pictures

The grand finale is the finishing touch flamenco companies put on their performances. Everyone standing as close as possible to the crowd and forming a circle, they improvise (it's true that sometimes it just looks like it) cante and baile through bulerías for a while. Sometimes, the roles are swapped: the cantaor plays the guitar, the guitarist dances. And jokes are also welcome, in contrast to the seriousness prevailing during the performance. The bit of baile by the non-bailaores is usually the highlight of the finale, with ‘pataítas’ (little kicks) now nearly more awaited than those of the star bailaor. Since the grand finale photos nearly always fail to appear in the reviews, here you have this gallery authored by Daniel Muñoz with those instants of freshness. The pictures come from flamenco events as outstanding as the Jerez Festival, Mont de Marsan Festival and Flamenco Pa Tos Festival, and star artists of the likes of José Mercé, Diego el Cigala, Matilde Coral, Antonio Canales, Antonio el Pipa, Joaquín Grilo, Moraíto, Pepa de Benito...
