Cardamomo was founded as a live performance venue in 1996. Almost 30 years of experience have made it one of the most important venues in Madrid’s emblematic Las Letras area.

It has hosted some of the most renowned artists in the world of flamenco and jazz. It has also seen the professional and personal growth of singers, dancers and guitarists who are now legends. From the members of the famous Sexteto Paco de Lucía; Jorge Pardo, Carles Benavent and Tino di Geraldo to the “captain” of the dance, Farruquito.

We understand flamenco as one of the greatest cultural exponents that belong to Madrid society.

Cardamomo Tablao is the best flamenco school. Both spectators and artists learn every day from the magic that happens on stage. They are essential spaces for the transmission and preservation of flamenco in its purest form.

Exhibitions, album presentations, film screenings, award ceremonies and, above all, a lot of flamenco have been hold here. One of them is the permanent exhibition of the renowned photographer Paco Manzano, which you can see inside our hall.

It is an intimate space. A reduced capacity, thanks to which you can appreciate the best flamenco artists just a few metres away. Cardamomo gives you the opportunity to feel part of the show and share with the best in a family atmosphere.

The cultural trajectory of the Cardamomo Tablao Flamenco venue was recognised in 2014 when it was listed by the Madrid City Council as “Cultural Heritage of the City of Madrid” in the Centro district for its “special characteristics and uniqueness” (BOAM, 13 November 2014).

In the tablao of Cardamomo, dance and singing that springs from the deepest flamenco feeling coexist with passion.

For this reason, the emotional communication of our artists transcends in the spectator as an intensely personal and unforgettable experience.
