There are very few examples of art forms which combine extremes in such a compelling way: \u00a0joy<\/em> and grief<\/em>, \u00a0life <\/em>and death,\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0discipline <\/em>and spontaneity<\/em>, \u00a0the inner self<\/em> and the gregarious mass<\/em> . . . <\/span><\/p>\n

The thing about flamenco is that even though it’s very popular<\/strong> music, often featuring lyrics of anonymous origin, and the performers remain faithful to oral tradition, they may also reach stardom and enjoy long-lasting appreciation for their contribution, that is, their own style<\/em> and unique personality.\u00a0<\/em><\/span>One of the phrases frequently used by performers in flamenco concerts is:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abVamo’ acordarno’ de . . . \u00ab<\/em>\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

which means, \u00abLet’s remember…\u00bb, \u00a0followed by the name of the character to be evoked.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00abFlamenco, as we know it today, began to emerge at the end of the 18th century – although there is evidence to suggest that primitive forms were quietly gestating in gypsy enclaves in \u00a0<\/span>southern\u00a0Andalusia much earlier than that. Flamenco did not however emerge from this semi-clandestine domesticity until the mid-19th century, when it made its first appearance on the public stage.<\/span><\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/address>\n
\u00abThe genealogy of flamenco is linked with a long series of musical contributions. In strict terms, flamenco evolved from a range of very different legacies bequeathed by the ancient mixture of cultures in Andalusia: Hindu and Greek psalms, Gregorian chants, Persian melodies, Mozarabic dirges, Jewish laments, Morisco songs, Castilian romances, African son dances . . .<\/span><\/address>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/address>\n
\u00abAll these ingredients, fused with indigenous Andalusian rhythms, resulted in a new musical structure which came to be known as flamenco. The gradual diversification of styles is yet another consequence of the inexhaustible capacity for innovation of the flamenco genre, which lends itself very well to the creative powers of individual artists and is one of the most remarkable forms of popular music in Western Europe.\u00bb<\/span><\/address>\n
