FLAMENCO


Flamenco is the song, dance and music with its origins in Andalucia, Spain. Originally it is believed that it evolved as a result of the inquisition and a blend of the music of Arabs, Jews, and Gypsies that were persecuted at that time. It is comparable to blues/jazz of America, having a mournful side as well as its opposite. It has evolved tremendously in the last 40 years, mostly due to the influence of guitarist Paco de Lucia, who began using instrumentation never used before in flamenco and considered the leader of modern flamenco composition.
