About Siempre Flamenco
Siempre Flamenco, Inc. was founded in 2002 by Celia and Paco Fonta as a not-for-profit corporation with the purpose of promoting awareness and preservation of the art and traditions of Flamenco. With yearlong programs fit for diverse audiences and performances at libraries, schools, Hispanic heritage festivals, street fairs and concert halls throughout Florida, Siempre Flamenco does its utmost to enrich the cultural community through flamenco. In March 2006, Siempre Flamenco produced the first Festival of Cante Flamenco in Miami to celebrate the cultural heritage of flamenco song and dance. Cante flamenco is seldom heard outside Andalusia. This traditional festival is one way to help preserve, maintain and pass down to future generations this beautiful art form. This year marks the 19th edition of this festival, which has gained international recognition as the only one of its kind in the United States. It is the goal of Siempre Flamenco to continue quality programming throughout all Florida and the United States with cultural and educational programs aimed at promoting and preserving the art and tradition of flamenco music and dance.
