flamenco

Generic term applied to a particular body of cante (song), baile (dance), and toque (solo guitar music) from Andalusia in southern Spain. It has attracted worldwide interest and flamenco clubs can be found in places as far apart as the USA, Japan, and Germany, as well as all the major cities throughout Spain. It is also known as cante gitano (gypsy song) and cante hondo (deep song). Despite the varied conjectures concerning its origin, consensus points to the early history and development of cante flamenco to Andalusia.
