Flamenco

Flamenco is a Spanish music and dance style typically associated with the Andalusian Romani, or Gitano. It is vigorous and rhythmic, characterized by colorful costumes, erotic movements, foot stamping, and hand clapping. The result is a brilliant, noisy, and passionate dance. Flamenco music is believed to have emerged in the early 19th century from the cante jondo—”deep song”—of Andalusia, a highly emotional and tragic type of song accompanied by guitar.
