Welcome to watchmojo.com. I am your host Tita. Today we are going to talk about flamenco. Flamenco is a folk art born in Spain. More specifically from Andalusia. It had been the way of expression of the poet and Operas, as far back as the 16th century. It's a unique blend of four different ethnic groups. The Gypsies, Muslims, Jews and the indigenous Andalusians. It is passed on by oral tradition.
Flamenco is composed of three artistic elements. The singing, el cante, the dance, el ballet, and the guitar, la guitarra. It is the company of the Palmas or hand clapping. The singer is the center of the flamenco group. The dancer physically interprets the words and emotion of the singer, and the guitarist provides the accompaniment to the singer and the dancer. Even if they have a basic structure, a language of their own, the three members can improvise almost all the performance. Now, in 2007 the flamenco is all around the world.
