Barcelona Flamenco Ballet

Without a doubt, the guitar is the most predominant instrument in Flamenco. However, several other instruments have been used, such as flute, castanets, Flamenco sticks, Flamenco box, and even shoes with heels contribute to the rhythmic sound of Flamenco.

Flamenco is a very ancient art, and it is believed to have origins that date back over 500 years. It is also thought that Flamenco has roots in gipsy, Arab, and Indian cultures, although its evolution is unique and does not resemble any other art. Flamenco includes dances, singing, and guitar playing and is known for its emotional intensity and passion.
