- sandra cCromer, United Kingdom116 contributionsA fantastic experienceWe love flamenco and try to go to see a performance whenever we are in a Spanish city and this one is certainly one of the best. Both dancers were passionate and talented as was the wonderful guitar player and the two singers. The venue, small and intimate, just the right atmosphere. One more positive . I booked on line and mistakenly did this twice as the confirming email didn't come through. This was dealt with promptly by email and my overpayment returned at once.

- StefanSerb23 contributionsTouched my soul deeplyIt is very direct, authentic and brutally sentimental. I know every day is different...but I was lucky! Not for every day tourists, it is a story that unfolds in unthinkable ways. You cannot be prepared even if you know flamenco already. It was not a lesson, just a story from the heart but I learnt a lot! I wish to come back to see them again with more storiesVisited January 2024Traveled soloWritten January 27, 2024

Extremely disappointed. I have been to a few flamenco performances before and I must say, this was by far the weakest. It feels like a budget put together kind of show on an expensive ticket. There’s no change of costume, no “castanholas” and the whole performance revolves around this one lady who is fine but after 20 minutes it gets tiring to see only her (on a cheap dress) and not have a man/someone else dancing as well. The whole thing feels cheap: their outfits, the chairs were seating on (very uncomfortable) and even the drinks they serve are bad quality. I wish I could have my money back.

Dear Mr. Pedro,
KELIPÉ is a big believer that the client is sacred. We apologize for not satisfying your expectations, we accept all opinions and critics received during these last 20 of visitors. Admiration words and also constructive critics.
But, let us make an observation, and even though you are not directly responsible, the concept you might have about flamenco is not the correct one. The responsibility is of those who dedicate their time to the commercialization of flamenco. The clothing has nothing to do with flamenco, nor changing of dresses, nor "castanholas" which are sold as a flamenco product but dont have nothing to do with it.
KELIPÉ, during this last 20 years has been offering a flamenco which is gypsy, authentic and most natural possible.
We take note of your advice and hope to see you again in our establishment.
Kind Regards,
KELIPE

Fantastic show. Great small venue (about 10-15 tables) so everyone can see well. 1 dancer, 1 guitarist & 2 singers on the night we were there. Beautiful traditional gypsy style flamenco performed with genuine feeling. I have seen many flamenco shows over the years from lots of the greats (Antonio Canales, Farruquito, Paco de Lucia, Tomatito, Buika…) so was nervous to come to a small tourist show. However I enjoyed Kelipe’s performance as much as any big shows due to the small intimate nature & performances from the heart. If you want spotty dresses, perfect hair, fans & technical perfection, don’t come to this show. If you want art, emotion & “flamenco puro”, you’ll love it.
A drink was included & there was a self service bar with beer, wine etc. which was a nice touch.

This was one of the highlights of our trip! It was so authentic and special, nothing like we had expected at all: even better :)
The chemistry of the performers, and the fun and passion they shared through music and dance was mesmerising.
Do note that the entrance is in a smaller alleyway, and that you have to walk through a curtain inside, that is correct. ENJOY
The wine was a nice addition ;)

We enjoyed the performance so much. Three artists all three pure professionals. High class level of perfection. A flamenco danceress/singer. A male singer Antonio with a voice to compare with and kick the socks off the Gypsy Kings. And finally the genius guitar whose solo was nothing less than mesmerizing.

We had no experience with flamenco, but was interested in experience this old, cultural heritage. It is a small room, with all the focus on the stage. There's a reason for that.
This is a very dedicated, talented group of people, who has orchestred an event together, filled with passion and joy.
The show is apr 2 hours and they give it all, even though the room was not fully booked. We soon learned that the rhythms in flamenco is extremely hard to do right, and yet they did it so naturally.
Without real teamwork, sense of timing, rhythm, 1000s of hours of practise, and sincere joy over others succes, flamenco was not possible. Age and life experience is only a plus. A great experience that we would recommend ❤️

Fantastic flamenco show, not to be missed. We had difficulty trying to purchase tickets online but we were able to buy at the door 30 minutes before the show started. However, this was in late September so may be different situation in the summer. Only 3 performers, guitar, singer, dancer and all 3 were wonderfully talented. A small simple room, very intimate, just the performers and the audience of about 30 people. Very authentic.

Bonjour,
Je n'ai pas de réponse pour l'hôtel; mais la salle de flamenco est en plein centre historique de Malaga, il y a certainement beaucoup de possibilités d'hébergements proches. Peut-être en s'adressant directement à kelipe pourraient-ils répondre à cette question ?
PS: je veux bien faire la demande si nécessaire
Written August 25, 2018
Buenas Nina, conozco bien el espectáculo Kelipé y, efectivamente, tal y como dices es el espectáculo más auténtico que hay en málaga y se mantiene así desde hace muchos años. Estoy también de acuerdo contigo en cuanto a la decoración del local y les pasaré nota a la próxima que vaya allí con algún amigo de fuera, pero prefiero que mantengan el foco en dar ese espectáculo tan auténtico que en temas de marketing. Shean me...te agradecerá el comentario ;)
