Antonio Mairena said of the headquarters of the Almerian pe\u00f1a El Taranto that it was “the Sistine Chapel of Flamenco”.. But its location, in an Arab cistern, is not the only thing that makes it special. <\/p>\n

The Taranto was founded in 1963.<\/strong> It was 22 March and a flamenco singing contest organised by Radio Almer\u00eda was being held at the Teatro Cervantes. The winner was Jos\u00e9 Sorroche and the jury was composed of Rafael Monterreal Alem\u00e1n, Diego L\u00f3pez L\u00f3pez, Crist\u00f3bal Mu\u00f1oz Montoya, “El Ni\u00f1o de \u00c1lora” and Lucas L\u00f3pez L\u00f3pez. These people were the ones who decided at that time to create a flamenco pe\u00f1a. They started to meet twice a week in the house of one of them, shaping their association. They based their statutes on those of the Pe\u00f1a Juan Breva de M\u00e1laga and would “de alta” them under the recent Law of Associations in 1965.<\/p>\n The name was to be Pe\u00f1a Fosforito, but it was Antonio Fern\u00e1ndez D\u00edaz “Fosforito” himself who advised it to be registered with the name of the cante from Almer\u00eda par excellence.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”43694993-03b0-434f-b7f6-92656fdaa861″ text_font=”Domine||||||||” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”32em” header_2_font=”Domine|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Since its formation, this Almerian pe\u00f1a has been very participative, basically because for almost a decade, it was the only registered flamenco pe\u00f1a. In addition, some of its members were founders and directors of the Andalusian Confederation of Flamenco Clubs and the Andalusian Flamenco Foundation, today the Andalusian Flamenco Centre. They are part of the foundation of the Semana Flamenca, of the Instituci\u00f3n Social para la Tercera Edad de los Artistas Flamencos (ITEAF) and of the brilliant magazine Taranto<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n The memoirs published on the occasion of his 25th anniversary are pure flamenco history of Almer\u00eda. <\/span>In the writings of Lucas L\u00f3pez, one of the aforementioned founders, this could be a summary of the early days: <\/span><\/p>\n “It is difficult to highlight the main events that have taken place in the long history of our Pe\u00f1a. I dare, however, and in no particular order, to highlight a few: Antonio Mairena’s last public performance, which is commemorated by a plaque in the cisterns. The two performances of Camar\u00f3n in 1984 and 85, with Tomatito; the debut of Jos\u00e9 Merc\u00e9 in the aljibes one cold December night in 1983, the jazz fusion nights, one of which had an exceptional spectator, Chick Corea, who listened to Tomatito, Carles Benavent and Jorge Pardo; the poems dedicated to us by Jos\u00e9 \u00c1ngel Valente and Julio Alfredo Egea; Camar\u00f3n singing to dance to Rafael El Negro and Chano Lobato to Matilde Coral in the Teatro Cervantes…”. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”auto” max_width=”none” min_height=”242.3px” custom_margin=”15px|auto|1px|auto|false|false” custom_padding=”10px||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/allflamenco.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Pena-El-Taranto.jpg” alt=”Pe\u00f1a El Taranto” title_text=”Pe\u00f1a El Taranto” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” enable_caption_text=”on” image_caption_font=”Domine||||||||” image_caption_color=”#000000″ image_caption_size=”11px” image_caption_lineheight=”1em” image_caption_alignment=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/allflamenco.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/El-Taranto-reina.jpg” alt=”Pe\u00f1a El Taranto” title_text=”El Taranto reina” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” enable_caption_text=”on” image_caption_font=”Domine||||||||” image_caption_color=”#000000″ image_caption_size=”11px” image_caption_lineheight=”1em” image_caption_alignment=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/allflamenco.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/El-taranto-inicios.jpg” alt=”Pe\u00f1a El Taranto” title_text=”The taranto beginnings” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” enable_caption_text=”on” image_caption_font=”Domine||||||||” image_caption_color=”#000000″ image_caption_size=”11px” image_caption_lineheight=”1em” image_caption_alignment=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”auto” max_width=”none” custom_margin=”54px|0px||0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”43694993-03b0-434f-b7f6-92656fdaa861″ text_font=”Domine||||||||” text_font_size=”20px” text_line_height=”32em” header_2_font=”Domine|700|||||||” header_2_text_color=”#000000″ background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”-45px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Since 1973, the Taranto de Oro has been awarded to a relevant artist who has a special relationship with the pe\u00f1a. This award is held by, for example, Jos\u00e9 Menese, Camar\u00f3n, Tomatito… and, of course, Fosforito, who was with the founders at the beginning and continued to be so. El Taranto also gives an award to a guitar artist and the so-called Pe\u00f1a El Taranto Trophy to the best performance of the year in any of the events organised by this association.<\/p>\nPure flamenco history<\/span><\/h2>\n
