In a statement sent to the media, the Tablao Flamenco Cardamomo, one of the most distinguished flamenco venues in Madrid, located next to the Puerta del Sol, thanks the support of the people of Madrid, despite the generalized belief that tablaos were only for foreigners.
In his letter, Cardamomo acknowledges having been forced to do only one show per day during the weekends - Friday, Saturday and Sunday - while the restrictions of the Community of Madrid are maintained as a result of the pandemic. "We have been facing obstacles since the fateful March 13, 2020, when we had to radically shut down our business and for eight long months of uncertainty," he says.

It had corners and nooks where jazz sneaked in. One day they discovered him playing the flute at the Balboa Jazz club when he was not yet old enough to have a drink and they invited him to record. When he arrived at the studio, he found that he had been summoned to play flute for the stars of the moment: Las Grecas. Winds of social change were brewing and aesthetic to the rhythm of jazz and rock, neighborhood rumba and flamenco, electric guitars and bell bottoms ”.
