Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Flamenco is an art form based on the various folkloric music traditions of southern Spain, developed within the gitano subculture of the Andalusian region, and also having historical presence in Extremadura and Murcia. In a wider sense, the term is used to refer to a variety of both contemporary and traditional musical styles typical of southern Spain. Flamenco is closely associated with the gitanos of the Romani ethnicity, who have contributed significantly to its origin and professionalization. However, its style is uniquely Andalusian, and flamenco artists have historically included Spaniards of both gitano and non-gitano heritage.
