Practical questions about Jondo Private — answered with the same discretion we extend to every inquiry.
- What is the mission of Jondo Private?
- Jondo Private exists to preserve orthodox flamenco as it was formed in Andalucía — to hold a supreme standard of quality, to support the greatest artists, and to stand against the wild cultural appropriation flamenco is suffering now.
- What is orthodox flamenco?
- Orthodox flamenco is Cante jondo, cante antiguo andaluz, cante gitano — the deep currents of orthodox flamenco. Rooted in Andalucía — not a single town, but the whole territory where the song was formed. Jerez de la Frontera, Morón, Sevilla, Cádiz, Granada, Málaga, and the pueblos that carry the lineage — without tablao repertoire, fusion, or spectacle.
- What is cante antiguo andaluz and cante gitano?
- Cante jondo, cante antiguo andaluz, cante gitano — the deep currents of orthodox flamenco. They are the deep roots of orthodox flamenco across Andalucía — alongside cante jondo — not styles invented for the stage. You commission the tradition as it is held by its finest artists.
- How much does it cost?
- Commissions begin at $150,000. Below that floor, there is no engagement. Above that floor the figure is astronomical — one all-inclusive number that absorbs every logistical cost to move that level of artist to your city, with margin that keeps the operation serious, not fragile. You receive one figure after your inquiry is reviewed.
- Who performs?
- The finest artists alive in cante jondo, cante antiguo andaluz, cante gitano — the deep currents of orthodox flamenco. — drawn from Andalucía and its lineage, not names from a booking agency. Typically one to three master musicians — cante, toque, palmas. A larger ensemble, baile, or additional artists when the occasion and the figure justify it. You do not assemble the roster; you pay for the production I commission.
- Is baile included?
- Baile is commissioned when you want it — at the level of the musicians, inside the same all-inclusive figure. Not cocktail background dance; orthodox flamenco baile for a room that paid for it.
- How long does it last?
- From a forty-five-minute private recital to a celebration that runs through the night — even several days for an estate party or retreat. Scale follows the fee. Reasonable rest for the artists is written into the schedule and the price; marathon exploitation is not for sale.
- What if the guests are not satisfied?
- I guarantee the result. If your guests are visibly unsatisfied with the performance — if the room shows it — every sum you paid is returned in full. Retainer, balance, all of it. No partial refunds, no excuses.
- What is the payment structure?
- A minimum of fifty percent is due in advance to confirm the date and mobilize artists, travel, and production. The balance is settled before the performance. No exceptions. USD wire or cryptocurrency — Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins by arrangement. Retainer and balance settle the same way once terms are agreed in your proposal.
- Do you accept cryptocurrency?
- USD wire or cryptocurrency — Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins by arrangement. Retainer and balance settle the same way once terms are agreed in your proposal.
- What is included in the fee?
- The finest orthodox flamenco ensemble, production, and every logistical cost required to deliver the performance in your city — including travel and private aviation when required. You are not billed line by line afterward.
- How do I book?
- Submit the inquiry form with city, venue type, dates, and context. I respond personally if the engagement is viable. There is no online calendar and no instant booking.
- Where do you perform?
- Switzerland, Europe, the Gulf, Saudi Arabia, Asia, China, Russia, North and South America, India, Indonesia, Africa, and Oceania — the private capitals where the fee is assumed and the room must be worthy. The same terms apply everywhere: one figure, retainer in advance, full production underwritten.
- Can you perform at a wedding or birthday?
- Private weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, milestone celebrations, estate dinners, and corporate galas — any closed room where orthodox flamenco belongs. Not public festivals, charity stages, or ticketed shows.
- Who is this not for?
- Public events, charity galas priced as favours, talent agencies shopping rates, or hosts who want tablao, fusion, or cheap entertainment without paying for scale. Orthodox flamenco — private commission, not a rental.
- Can I donate less than $5,000?
- Below $5,000 USD equivalent, you are making a donation — not membership. ETH or DAI is sent directly to my wallet, not the membership vault.
- What is membership (from $5,000)?
- You receive my personal phone number and may contact me directly. Your deposit is locked in the public vault. Within one year, if you book an event with me, that amount is credited toward your commission. After one year, or if you never book, the deposit goes to my wallet and you forfeit it.
- How does the membership vault work?
- You deposit ETH or DAI into a public vault. Funds stay locked for up to twelve months. They can only go to my wallet — credited if you book an event with me in time, or forfeited after expiry. This is separate from a commission inquiry ($150,000 minimum, no wallet on the inquiry form).
- What happens if I never book an event?
- After twelve months, the deposit goes to my wallet. You do not receive a refund.
- What is Maecenas ($20,000)?
- Everything in Membership, plus a guaranteed professional music videoclip of orthodox flamenco and your name in the credits. Same vault rules: credit if you commission within one year; otherwise the deposit is mine and you lose it.
