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.
