  • In front of an appreciative mainly lady audience, a flamenco dancer puts passion into her performance in a caseta (marquee) during the Spring Feria in Seville, Spain.

Grown out of the fusion of Arabic, Andalusian, Sephardic, and Gypsy cultures traditional flamenco artists simply learned by listening and watching relatives, friends and neighbours. It adapts to the local talent, instrumentation and mood of the audience. Seville holds its annual fair in rows of temporary marquee casetas, hosting families and friends which begin during the April Fair two weeks after the Semana Santa, or Easter Holy Week in the Andalusian capital.
