Géronimo Giménez (1854-1923) was born in Sevilla. He composed a lot of zarzuelas, symphonic music and chamber music. ‘El baile de Luis Alonso‘ (1896) and ‘La Boda de Luis Alonso‘ (1897) about the celebrated Spanish dancer Luis Alonso. Both zarzuelas have a beautiful ‘intermedio’; with graceful themes almost a classical scherzo.

According to Antonio Torres, in this version of The Wedding and the Dance. From Luis Alonso , the transcendence of flamenco is highlighted. This art, which includes singing, music and dance, was developed in the ports of Andalusia and is nourished by Arab roots from North Africa. Later, after arriving in America, it merged with Latin American popular music. In this context, the work through flamenco, weaves a connection that establishes a brotherhood, which takes the public on a round trip between Spain and Latin America.
