Kanela endeavours to put together a programme that mixes classical and contemporary styles that has nothing to do with the commercial exploitation of the genre. Young performers are encouraged to respect the roots of the tradition but also to experiment and find their own personal voice or style.

Arte Kanela flamenco ensemble has been thrilling Melbourne audiences with their perfect blend of authentic and contemporary flamenco since they formed in 1990. Considered as the best exponents of this dynamic art form in Australia.

Arte Kanela are featured exclusivley at Kanela every Thursday, Friday and Saturdays. *(see Info section for booking details)
