The transcendence of this art has crossed all international borders, universalising it and sowing seeds in every corner of the world, where it is considered one of the most precious jewels of music and dance.

Flamenco is the essence of a people, a people without borders. Flamencos can be from Seville, from Jerez, from Manchester or from Washington. You could be a flamenco, you just have to feel it and let yourself go.
The foot tapping or the furious passion is what characterises the flamenco dance. This dance is the third part of the flamenco art, and has a historical background with the development of the Spanish culture.
The classical or Flamenco guitar is one of the most recognised symbols of flamenco. This pure art unites singing and dancing with rhythm and time, thanks to the instruments that accompany it. A good flamenco show is always accompanied by the strumming of the flamenco guitar.
The origin of flamenco in Andalusia is not entirely clear, but the idyll that this art form maintains with this land is clear, an idyll that goes back a long way. Some say that flamenco comes from Islamic monochord songs, while others attribute the introduction of this genre to the gitanos in Andalusia lands.
