Flamenco dancing




Flamenco is the traditional song and dance
of the Gypsies (flamencos) of Andalusia.
Its history can be traced over several
centuries from Gypsy, Moorish, Andalucian,
and other roots.
Its evolution is a source of great debate
with no accepted explanation of how
flamenco resulted from the cultural
influences of such diverse regions as North
Africa, Southern Europe and the Near and
Far East.
Flamenco has never been more popular in
Spain and abroad than it is today with a
new generation of new flamenco
performers in the post-Franco era who have
broadened flamenco's appeal to an
international audience.
