What to expect

Flamenco was the traditional dance and music of the Andalusian gitanos (gypsies). Even though flamenco is still deeply connected to the gypsy culture, many payos (non-gypsies) have contributed to expand it both in Spain and overseas. The history of flamenco date back from the 18th century. It’s said to emerge in the occidental area of Andalucía (Seville, Cordoba, Huelva). Unfortunately, the available resources and data are very limited and enforce just a few theories. Flamenco can be expressed by either: Singing. A cantaor sing with his (or her) heart and soul. Dancing. Elegance and grace are only meant to the best bailaores and bailaoras. You’ll see their rhythm in their arms, feet and whole body. Playing the Spanish guitar. The performer relies on its intuition to improvise rather than applying this or that technique. He (it’s very rare to see a woman) needs to blend with the rest of the cuadro.
