The activities of the week can be more or less religious in nature, depending on the region. In Spain (especially in Andalusia) there are spectacular nocturnal processions with “pasos”, which are floats carried through the streets on the shoulders of bearers, with huge banks of candles and dramatic sculptures of Jesus - crucified or resurrected - or the Virgin Mary, dressed in elaborate, jewel-studded costumes. The “pasos” are solemnly escorted by “cofrades”, hooded members of a Catholic brotherhood or “cofradía”, who march in step to the beat of a drum. Some walk barefoot and flagellate themselves as a sign of Christian repentance, while the atmosphere on other processions can be much more festive.* * *f week;entre semana during the week, midweek* * *semana nf: week* * *semana n week -

[música, baile] flamencoFLAMENCOAlthough often seen as synonymous with Spanish culture abroad, flamenco originated in the southern region of Andalusia. It has deep roots in Gypsy, Arab and Jewish music, and it is Spain’s “gitanos” (gypsies) who have kept it flourishing to the present day. Originally, flamenco consisted of unaccompanied singing (“cante”). Later this was accompanied by flamenco guitar (“toque”), rhythmic hand clapping (“palmas”), rhythmic feet stamping (“zapateado”) and dance (“baile”). The castanets (“castañuelas”) so often associated with flamenco were introduced only later. Flamenco is actually a catch-all term for a wide range of musical styles, which range from the strangulated emotive sobbing of “cante jondo” (one of the most traditional forms), to the work of new artists who are producing catchy rock and pop versions of flamenco.* * *I adj MÚS flamenco atr ;ponerse flamenco get smart o fresh;estar muy flamenco para su edad fam be in pretty good shape for one’s ageII m1 MÚS flamenco2 ZO flamingo* * *flamenco, -ca adj1) : flamenco2) : Flemishflamenco, -ca n: Fleming, Flemish personflamenco nm1) : Flemish (language)2) : flamingo3) : flamenco (music or dance)* * *flamenco2 n1.
