About
Ingrávido 5.1
INGRÁVIDO 5.1 is Planeta Jondo’s most adventurous work to date: a show that introduces bold new elements into flamenco, from expanded instrumentation to original lyrics, while never losing its roots in cante jondo (deep song).
Driven by a restless search for new musical experience, Planeta Jondo offers audiences a bridge between past and present, taking flamenco at its most essential as the point of departure. The staging evokes the familiar while opening into dimensions yet to be explored, a performance that is simultaneously an album, a concert, and a living statement of the bold places that flamenco can go.

About
Planeta Jondo
Planeta Jondo is an Andalucian flamenco ensemble from Huelva that began to take shape in late 2014, when its members met while creating a production for the Luna de Verano festival in Moguer. The project was presented officially in 2015 alongside a selftitled EP, and the group has since appeared in a wide range of festivals and venues, including Canal Sur’s Foro Flamenco, the Centro de Arte Flamenco La Merced in Cádiz, Café Berlín in Madrid, and cultural programming in Córdoba and Málaga.
Across its work, Planeta Jondo approaches flamenco as a living musical system: guitar and cante remain central, while the ensemble broadens the palette through winds (flute and harmonica), keyboards, percussion, and drum/bass foundations. This expanded instrumentarium supports original compositions and lyrics that move between established palos and newly designed textures, allowing “past” and “present” to be heard as part of the same rhythmic language.
The group’s current stage project, Ingrávido, has been developed in dialogue with the Flamenco Lab Paco de Lucía initiative (Fundación Música Creativa and Fundación Paco de Lucía), receiving mentoring on staging and arrangements. The Ingrávido recording also includes high-profile collaborations, among them Carmen Linares, Arcángel, and Jorge Pardo—artists whose presence underscores the project’s standing within the contemporary flamenco field.
