Description
The more traditional forms of Flamenco were brought to Spain around 1500 by the Gypsies (who emigrated from India). At that time, the Catholics had defeated the Moors and forbade anything which was not Catholic or in tune with Catholic norms and values. When the Gypsies arrived, they were unable to openly express their culture under the Catholic rule. Because of the situation they faced, the Gypsies began to express their suppression and suffering in their songs. This is the reason why traditional Flamenco is so sad and heartbreaking. During the 19th century, Flamenco slowly worked its way into the Andalucian culture. Over time, the Spaniards accepted the art form and began to perform it themselves, which continues on in today’s Flamenco dance performances, whose music roots are over 500 years old.

A beautiful, dynamic study of form and style. The choice of black & white is a fine one. This would lose much of its power through distraction were it in color. Quality craft. With warmth, Terry
