Flamenco is a passionate art with a captivating immediacy. The baile (dance), the cante (song) and the specific sound of the Flamenco guitar combine to produce a compelling and authentic performance. Flamenco is expressive music with each individual performance providing a unique interpretation of the piece. The immediate and percussive sound of the Flamenco guitar lends itself to the drama of the art and is essential. If you are a Flamenco guitar player then you may not wish to contemplate diluting the distinctive sound of the instrument through amplification but sometimes amplification with an amp is necessary.

Flamenco naturally works well in a small performance space where it's possible to connect intimately with the audience. However, it is always more important to ensure that the instrument is heard than to be too concerned with precisely preserving that original sound quality. Projecting the sound will engage the audience more effectively and whilst Flamenco guitars have had projection taken into consideration during their construction, sometimes further amplification will be required. Happily, technology has advanced to help and now affordable amps are available that can create an authentic sound and give justice to the singular qualities of the Flamenco guitar.

Amplification has indeed improved dramatically in recent years to provide excellent solutions for musicians of all abilities. It is possible to deliver a compelling Flamenco performance whilst preserving the quality of the original sound. At El Mundo Flamenco we have a great collection of amps chosen from the highly regarded AER, Belcat and Fisher collections. With these impressive amps you can be sure that your audience can appreciate the nuances of your performance wherever you are.
