History of Flamenco

One of the first things we immediately associate with the Spanish culture is doubtless...Flamenco.

In spite of the mystery of its historical origins, the western part of Andalucía, especially the Guadalquivir River Bank, is said to be the cradle of Flamenco in the 18th century. Based on the gypsy music and dance of southern Spain this genre includes cante (singing), baile (dancing), toque (guitar) and palmas (handclaps), but its pure essence is supposed to be the singing.

In the second half of the 19th century singers of this music style were able to become famous artists of cities like Cadiz, Seville or Jerez. Thanks to the several platforms in theatres and cafes, the Flamenco began not only to extend itself, but also to incorporate different cultural influences from Roman, Jewish, Greek or Muslim citizen, which are reflected as much in the music as in the dance. Camarón de la Isla (singer) and Paco de Lucía (guitar) are considered as signifying personalities in relation to the internationalization of this genre.

At the moment the Flamenco is undergoing several kinds of rhythm crossing with other genres like jazz, salsa and bossa nova.
