Flamenco ;Spain's iconic cultural form History, root


There are seveal origins  and  fustion that led to the  modern day falamenco Gypsies from Rajasthan who emigrated to Europe centuries ago brought with them their traditions, culture and music, and this music evolved in Spain into what is now flamenco.

Flamenco (Spanish pronunciation: [flaˈmeŋko]), in its strictest sense, is a professionalized art-form based on the various folkloric music traditions of Southern Spain in the autonomous communities of Andalusia. In a wider sense, it refers to these musical traditions and more modern musical styles which have themselves  been deeply influenced by and become blurred with the development of flamenco over the past two centuries.   It includes cante (singing), toque (guitar playing), baile (dance), jaleo (vocalizations), palmas (handclapping)  and pitos (finger snapping)

 Hailing from southern Spain's outcast populations, flamenco dance and music drew early influences from Greek and Roman and later from Indian,  Moorish, and Jewish cultures.Centuries of cultural melding later, what ironically began in caves as a form of personal expression by gypsies
 and other oppressed ethnicities has evolved into the flashy flamenco dance and music that has taken the world by storm.

Sacromonte  area  Granda has  a biggee population of Gitano and  cave  dwelling  reminiscent of how they used to live,


 Duets, performed by a man and a woman, are often the most vivid flamenco dances. The dancers keep their eyes firmly locked each other,   constantly and aggressively building off one another in what becomes competition of passion, sexual tension, and emotion.
