Welcome to watchmojo.com. I’m your host Tita. Today we’re going to talk about Flamenco.
Flamenco is a folk art born in Spain, more specifically from Andalusia. It has been the way of expression of the poor and the oppressed as far back as the sixteenth century. It’s a unique blend of four different ethnic groups, the gypsies, Muslims, Jews and the ingenious Andalusians. It is passed on by oral tradition. Flamenco is composed of three artistic elements, the singing, el cante, the dance, el baile and the guitar.
It is accompanied by 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 dancer. Even if they have a basic structure, a language of there own, the three members can improvise almost all the performance.
Now in 2007, the Flamenco, it’s all around the world.
