About
Flamenkisimo is a flamenco band for hire in Sydney, NSW.
Every member of this ensemble trained in Spain, and it shows in the detail. Flamenkisimo is a Sydney group of dancers, a guitarist, a vocalist and a percussionist playing traditional flamenco with the dance and the music woven together rather than taking turns. A short, punchy set with dancer and musicians works well as a feature moment. A longer booking makes room for guitar solos and singing solos, which changes the atmosphere completely. Line ups run as a duo, trio or quad: dancer, singer and guitarist, that same trio plus percussion, or two dancers with singer and guitarist. They bring sound and their own flamenco flooring, so the footwork actually reads from the back of the room. Public liability insurance is current.

The show
This is a Sydney ensemble, but the standard is what you'd hope to find in Spain. A short, punchy set with dancers and musicians together makes a strong feature moment, all uplifting flamenco and a dancer who commands the room. Go longer and the shape changes: there's space for guitar solos and singing solos, and the atmosphere shifts into something more intimate. Either way the show gets built around your event, so it's worth telling them what the room and the evening actually look like.
On the day
They can supply sound themselves. They also bring their own flamenco flooring, which matters more than it sounds: the footwork is half the performance, and without the right surface underneath it you lose the sound of it from the back of the room.
Performance options
Three line-ups to choose between. A duo, trio or quad, built as dancer, singer and guitarist, or that same trio with a percussionist added, or two dancers with singer and guitarist. Which one suits depends on the space and the moment you want to create, and they'll talk it through with you.
