Flamenco is performed in three forms: guitar, singing, and dancing. Its origins lie with the gypsies, and many of the best cantaores (flamenco singers), bailaores (dancers), and guitarists are gypsies. There are also Arabic and North African influences. Modern flamenco blends traditional forms with rock, jazz, and salsa. Guitarists are soloists in their own right, not just accompanists. Most flamenco songs are folk songs, modified by oral tradition, on a wide range of subjects. The music and lyrics are improvised and never written down. An integral part of traditional flamenco is the duende, the idea that the performer becomes inspired by the emotion of the music or dance. But as flamenco becomes commercialized, rehearsed performances are more likely than spontaneous music and dancing

FLAMENCO

Although 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.
