The most typical Spanish art

1. Origins of Flamenco

The flamenco is typical of Spain and it is originally from Andalusia. There were muslims, jewish and cristians traditions but in the 15th century the Gypsies arrived to Spain so the result of this combination was the Flamenco.

2. The term 'Flamenco'

The word flamenco, was created in the 19th century. There isn't any certain way to know where it is from but there are some hypothesis:

- because of the bird.
- fellah-mangu: songs of peasants
- because its origin is in Flanders
- because the gypsies are also known as 'flamencos'
