What You'll Gain

• Craft original flamenco lyrics (letras) in any language: Create lyrics that honor flamenco tradition while expressing the power of your own voice in every verse you write

• Master the rhythm: Learn the secret of fitting your words into the musical structures of traditional palos including Tangos, Campanilleros, Sevillanas Corraleras, and Tanguillos.

• Fit words naturally into the cante: Learn how syllables, rhythm, and musical phrasing interact — so your letras can be sung, not just written.

• Go from inspiration to creation: Leave the workshop with practical tools and new, original lyrics ready to be shared, sung, recorded or further developed.

• Work with Live Musicians: Experience the rare opportunity to engage with a professional cantaor/a and guitarist from Jerez to explore how lyrics interact with cante and toque.
• Become Part of Flamenco History: Join the vanguard of artists internationalizing flamenco, just as jazz and hip-hop crossed language barriers to become global music genres.
• Global Recognition: Receive a workshop diploma and the opportunity to be featured on ExpoFlamenco, the world’s leading flamenco platform.
• Join a Supportive Creative Community:  Build professional and personal relationships with international artists that flourish long after the Festival de Jerez.
