Flamenco is the passionate, expressive genre that brings the rich musical traditions of Spain to life, characterized by its intricate guitar work, percussive rhythms, and emotive vocals. Emerging in the 19th century, it was shaped by the cultural influences of Andalusia, blending elements of folk, gypsy, and Moorish music. Artists like Paco de Lucía, Camarón de la Isla, and Vicente Amigo have brought flamenco to international audiences, showcasing its virtuosity and emotional depth. Today, it continues to thrive, with new musicians exploring its rich, vibrant sound and keeping its spirited, soulful essence alive.
