About Peña la Pepa
Years ago, Peña la Pepa founder and owner María José Salmeron wanted to share the vision and the magic of what she has learned and shared in Jerez de La Frontera, Spain, in the authentic Peñas Flamencas. In essence the concept of a Peña Flamenca revolves around having a space and an atmosphere of experiencing Flamenco art "up close an personal."
A "Peña" describes the traditional setting where people of southern Spain gather to celebrate their culture of local "barrios" and "gitanos." The art of Flamenco is the medium of dance, singing, and guitar.
Peña Flamenca La Pepa stands as a cultural association for recreation and sharing to promote an atmosphere of Flamenco in all its facets.
