The rhythmic strum of the guitar, the hollow stomp of the dancer, the harmonious voice of the singer, this is the Spanish art of Flamenco. Born in the historic province of Andalucia, in southern Spain, the art of Flamenco has quickly become part of the national identity of the people of Spain. A creation of the gypsies of southern Spain, it is a fusion of a variety of types of influences ranging from India to the Middle East.
