Flamenco

Country of origin: Spain

Flamenco is a popular musical genre born in Andalusia (southern Spain) which is generally found in three forms: cante (song), toque (guitar playing) and baile (dance).

The musical forms of Flamenco, cante and toque are divided into palos which can be translated as styles or subgenres. The basic palos are: soleares, siguiriyas, tangos and fandangos. These in turn have generated more than thirty variations, most of which are still sung today.
