JALEO began touring outside Spain in 1988 and since then, their rigorous touring schedule has become more demanding each year including theatre performances, workshops, TV and radio work and recording.

For almost two decades Jaleo have captivated the attention of audiences of all ages and walks of life with the universal appeal of their art. Their authentic and charismatic approach to performance, sometimes serious, sometimes humorous but always sincere, has won them many followers and considerable critical acclaim from both press and public alike.

Formed by award-winning flamenco artists from Seville who have each earned recognition within their own country, Jaleo has now firmly established an international reputation as a very exciting and dynamic dance company with an innovative approach.

This album, recorded live during a British tour, combines the infectious rhythms, fiery emotions and spontaneous drama of which Jaleo have become so well known with poignant moments of melancholy. Vibrant and dynamic, virtuoso and innovative, this recording faithfully reflects the magic and colour of Andalusian life as re-created on stage by this exciting flamenco company.
