abstract:A tablao (colloquial term for the Spanish "tablado", floorboard) is a place where flamenco shows are performed. Developed during the sixties of the 20th century throughout Spain replacing the "cafés cantantes" (cabarets).
The live show at the Tablao - amid a formal, slightly old-world atmosphere, with bow-tied waiters and hand-painted posters from early 20th-century Seville - is love and tragedy rendered in musical form.
