Madrid keeps on shoring up the presence of flamenco. At the initiative of Junta de Andalucía, the first edition of the Festival Andalucía Flamenca is to be held from January 16th to March 4th at the Teatro Gran Vía. Antonio Canales, Carmen Linares, Antonio el Pipa, Isabel Bayón, Manuela Carrasco and Pastora Galván, among others, appear in the lineup of the festival, which is born with the aim of providing Madrid with a steady flamenco program. The fact that it coincides with the Caja Madrid Flamenco Festival has stirred up criticism of its organizers, it being considered that Andalusia’s public administration is working against the interest of private enterprise. In the Spanish capital, Festival Suma Flamenca and Festival Flamenco pa’Tos are also held annually.
