History of the Flamenco

Flamenco can be pinpointed as an Andalusian (Spanish region) musical and dance performance that is also characterized by the song and guitar. Originating in the 19th century, “flamenco is the music of the gypsies” and usually its connoisseurs don’t rely on special training. It is simply passed down from family members, friends and neighbors. Today, however, you may find special classes for those seeking to learn flamenco, according to Wikipedia.

As for a professional flamenco concert, a traditional singing performance has only a singer and one guitar, while a dance concert usually includes two or three guitars, one or more singers (singing in turns, as in traditional flamenco singers always sing solo), and one or more dancers, according to Wikipedia.
