Flamenco

Flamenco is a musical style that originated in the southern region of Spain and has its roots in the folk music of the Roma (Gypsies). It is characterized by its fast, rhythmic and passionate sound. Its style combines singing, guitar playing, and hand clapping or stomping. Its history dates back to the mid-19th century, when it was popularized in Spain and Latin America. Flamenco incorporates influences from other musical styles such as Moorish, Jewish, and Andalusian folk music. Today, it is popular in many countries around the world and is often performed in a variety of contexts, including concerts, festivals, and dance shows.
