Brief history of Flamenco in Malaga.
The singing cafes of the 19th century can be considered as the prelude to the current flamenco tablaos in Malaga. Here they offered singing, dancing and flamenco recitals, highlighting the Café de Chinitas.
The Café de Chinitas, founded in 1857 and open today, was one of the most famous for the personalities that visited it and the artists that performed such as La Parrala, Antonio Chacón , Manuel Torre, Niña de los Peines, Manuel Vallejo, LaTrini, Fernando de Triana, El Pena, El Cojo de Málaga, etc.

As for relevant names, one name stands out above all: Juan Breva (1844 – 1918), the most important flamenco singer in Málaga, who created his own style of flamenco and who gives his name to the most notable flamenco club in the city.
The nickname of Juan Breva was inherited from his paternal grandfather, who sold fruit and figs while singing.
