About "Flamenco Yearbook 2024

Since April 2023, we have been operating a general flamenco information website, "Flamenco fan" (https://www.flamencofan.net), and have been in contact with many people in the flamenco industry, and have sent out information by visiting and interviewing them on site. We have been in contact with many people in the flamenco industry.

We have been sending out this information via the Internet and SNS, but we have come to realize that there are quite a few people who only use the Internet media occasionally, and that it is difficult for them to get the information they need.

Therefore, we have decided to publish a book that collects the various information we have gathered over the past year.

The book is very rich in content, filled with various information and the thoughts of each and every person involved in flamenco over the last year.

Since this book is not available in bookstores, we have decided to challenge crowdfunding in order to make it available to a wider range of people.

Our goal is 3 million yen, which is a rather ambitious amount, but it is the equivalent of 1,500 copies of this book. In other words, we want to reach more than 1,500 people in Japan.

Flamenco is a traditional Spanish art form, and Japan is second only to Spain in the number of flamenco lovers, with numerous flamenco schools in Japan and many artists who make their living from flamenco music and dance.

This crowdfunding campaign will allow flamenco schools and groups of lovers to purchase this book in bulk at a discount, so we hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to share memories and information from last year.
