Flamenco affectting Lacroix

The traditional dance of Spain:

Flamenco

Flamenco is a Spanish term that refers both to a musical genre, known for its intricate rapid passages, and a dance genre characterized by its audible footwork.


Although considered part of the culture of Spain in general, flamenco actually originates from one region: Andalusia. However, other areas, mainly Extremadura and Murcia, have contributed to the development of several flamenco musical forms, and a great number of renowned flamenco artists have been born in other territories of the state. It is generally acknowledged that flamenco grew out of the unique interplay of native Arabic, Andalusian, Sephardic, and Gypsy cultures that existed in Andalusia prior to and after the Reconquest.


Flamenco is the music of the gypsies and played in their social community. Non-gypsy Andalusian people who grew up around gypsies and the life were also accepted as "flamencos" (paco de lucia).
