Berdolé Flamenco Production

Berdolé is a management and production company that creates live Flamenco programming for performance. Works focus on the traditional elements of Flamenco together: guitar, song, dance, and rhythmic hand clapping. We also book solo acts when clients are looking for live music without dance, and we book dancers when clients are looking for group choreographies with playback. Our work features some of the top professionals in Flamenco in Spain and the United States of America, as well as most of the local artists in Atlanta.

Based in Atlanta, owner Julie Galle Baggenstoss has placed artists in theaters, museums, and festivals, such as the Rialto Center for the Arts, the High Museum of Art, The Telfair Museum, the Georgia World Congress Center, and Coves Darden P.R.E. She contracts with elite Flamenco artists in the U.S.A. and top artists from Spain, such as the Company of Manuel Liñán, guitarist/singer Juan del Gastor, Antonio Granjero and Entre Flamenco. Additionally, Berdolé oversees Flamenco production on theater stages such as The Rialto Center for the Arts Series, Madison-Morgan Cultural Center, and Siempre Flamenco’s Festival de Cante Flamenco, in addition to that of local projects, such as Barefoot in the Park Festival in Duluth, Arts in the Heart in Augusta, GA, and Día de Hispanidad at Casa de España South Carolina.

The name "Berdolé" comes from the Caló dictionary. Caló is the language spoken by the Gitanos (Gypsies) who settled in southern Spain, and it has a presence in Flamenco song lyrics. Berdolé translates to “velero” in Spanish, which means ship in English. The name Berdolé fuses cultures through time, considering that seafaring vessels first connected America with Spain and every Atlantic crossing forever changes Flamenco.

When requested, we provide our own professional sound system and a wooden dance floor. We can book acts of 1 to 10 artists, depending on client needs. Our minimum space requirement is 8' x 8', but we can also fill large spaces for major productions. For group performances, our minimum set length is 10-15 minutes, but a set for a live Flamenco band is typically 25-30 minutes in length. We prefer to book performances of up to 2 hours, with 2-3 sets during that duration. We are open to discussing other set configurations, especially when booking solo guitarists and groups of dancers.

Minimum peformance space is 4' x 4' for musicians, and it is 8' x 8' when a dancer performs with musicians. We require a wooden floor when a dancer is hired to perform with musicians. All sound and stage equipment can be provided by artists for an additional fee.
