Flamenco
Flamenco
Flamenco is composed of passionate dancing, singing, and instrumental performances that show Spanish culture and history. It is made up of four parts-voice, dance, guitar, and encouragement from the audience. It became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, although many believe the Gypsies were its primary creators. When the Gypsies and Jews were heavily persecuted and could not express their religion or way of life, they turned to flamenco as a way of easing their pain. Flamenco has evolved much throughout the years, and almost even died out, but today it is close to Spain’s heart. When watching flamenco Spaniards will call out at the dancer or singer and clap their hands, but it can be hard to follow the beat!
