Cancanilla de Málaga

In a balmy night in August, in front of a crowd who couldn’t beleive their luck, Sebastián Heredia Santiago stepped out on to the balcony. (think sitting in a pub open mic evening, somewhere in Kent, and Paul McCartney steps up).

If this seems unusual, you’re probably not Spanish: 'Flamenco en los balcones’ is a popular and modern form of a custom of singing from homes, that stretches back in to the mists of Andalusian time.

He sang, and for a while everyone looked up teary eyed, then looked around smiling and clapping.

It was all a treat.
