Flamenco = The Beauty of Sound
==== Flamenco is a Southern art that exists in three forms: The dance- baile, song- cante, and the guitar playing- guitarra. The dancer claps her hands in rythm to the guitar player and gracefully makes her way through the music. ====

====VIII-XXVIII Spain was under domination of Arab. This is when Christians and Jews adapted and modified music and the musical instruments. ====

In 1955 guitar playing began to start showing up in the Flamenco music.
====But today authentic Flamenco is best expressed at a flamenco party, a juerga. Then you will see a small group of friends dancing, singing, and playing guitar in the moonlight, breaking the silence in the center of town. ====
