The Cante de las Minas International Festival has been held without interruption since 1961. Every August, the festival brings together the most established artists from the world of flamenco, as well as promising young talents and emerging artists eager to win the coveted Lámpara Minera and other prestigious prizes awarded by the competition in the categories of singing, guitar, dance and flamenco instrumentalists – prizes which serve as a major springboard for their careers.

Publishing research and specialised training

The catalogue of publications, research journals and digital music is complemented by training programmes and masterclasses led by leading experts, with the aim of passing on technical and historical knowledge of flamenco to new generations.
