Flamenco, the soul of Spain

Posted by julia on 18 Jan 2007 | Tagged as: Flamenco

What would Spain be without Flamenco? I´m not really sure, but I do know that Flamenco is the soul of Spain and it is a passion that not only can be seen and heard it is felt from deep inside the veins of any Spaniard.

The roots of Flamenco can be traced back for centuries. Born from the expression of a persecuted people, most notably, the Gypsies of Southern Spain, flamenco, in general, consists of three artistic elements: the singing (cante), the dance (baile) and the guitar

(guitarra) all with the addition of hand clapping (palmas) which help and add to the rhythm and beat of flamenco.

Flamenco is everywhere in Spain and if you are visiting this country you need to experience a flamenco show for yourself. Flamenco org offers you lists of different flamenco spots and festivals so you are sure not to miss any excitement.
