COVID-19 and The Future of Flamenco in Spain.
Reports from Other Continents
As a result of the health crisis due to COVID-19, the fractures that accuse the cultural structure of Spain have been revealed. The closure of three months due to confinement, added to the subsequent capacity and space restrictions, has prevented the tablaos from being able to reopen their doors. But not only the tablaos have been affected. Hundreds of artists and schools have also suffered its consequences. The effects of COVID-19 are devastating for the cultural sector, and in this context, we asked those interviewed what they think about the future that awaits flamenco. Despite the seriousness of the situation for many people, the answers are encouraging for flamenco. Flamenco, despite everything, will not die.
