ππ» Flamenco ππ»
An artistic espression
Flamenco is an artistic expression that is born from the mixture of many
cultures: the Arab, the Jewish, that of the gypsies (who arrived in
Spain in the 15th century and many stayed in Andalusia). And with the
Andalusian culture. Flamenco arose from that cultural mix in Andalusia.
This art began and developed there, which over time has spread, becoming
a universal artistic manifestation.
If it is clear where it was born, the opposite happens if we want to know when it was born, because it did not start in a specific year, it was created little by little with all those mixtures of cultures and for approximately two centuries is when it began to express itself as we know it. today. We can say that flamenco is very young music, because two centuries is a very short time in the history of music. Although there is documented news, around the year 1770, in which they say that some parties and meetings were held in which the gypsies exhibited dances and songs that were the antecedents of flamenco that we know today.
