Traditional traje de flamenca<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With a stomp of the dancer\u2019s feet and a strum of the guitar, the <\/span>flamenco dance<\/span><\/a> begins in tantalizing suspense and unfolds into an irresistible performance. Inspired by the gypsy culture of Andalusia, flamenco dancing evokes a passion and energy so unique that it continues to stand out as one of the most exciting <\/span>art forms <\/span><\/a>to witness today. The <\/span>Spanish<\/span><\/a> dance is nowadays recognized as a symbol of the nation\u2019s identity and is performed and enjoyed throughout the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

INFLUENCES AND THE CAFE CANTANTE<\/b><\/h2>\n

Flamenco dancing originated in the 15th century, with the arrival of the Gypsies to Spain and Portugal. The gypsies traveled for centuries across different lands and collected a variety of folk dances from the cultures they experienced. When they arrived in Spain, the flamenco dance became a way to express themselves creatively. <\/span><\/p>\n

The first Cafe Cantante opened in Seville in 1842, and served as the birthplace of flamenco as a performing art. They were night bars where locals and travelers would stop in to enjoy the performances put on by the dancers and their vibrant bands. By the 1860\u2019s, similar cafes were established throughout Andalucia, Madrid, and in other areas of Spain. <\/span><\/p>\n

THE FLAMENCO GUITAR <\/b><\/h2>\n

Essentially, the flamenco guitar is built with the same methods used to build a modern classical guitar. Although the two are similar in body and sound, the flamenco guitar has a particularly distinctive sound and playing action of its own. Players used different posture, strumming patterns, and techniques for flamenco play. The musician tends to play the strings as close as possible to the bridge, in order to produce a harsher sound quality. When the flamenco dancer claps to signify the beginning of the dance, the musician answers in a musically authoritative response.<\/span><\/p>\n

TRAJE DE FLAMENCA<\/b><\/h2>\n

The flamenco dancer\u2019s outfit, or traje de flamenca, is something to be admired. Both versions of the traditional garb are layered in ruffles on the skirt and sleeves. The dress is either brightly colored or decorated by a bold pattern such a polka dots. The dancer typically wears her hair in a bun or comb, pulled back from her face so that she can dance fiercely and with precision. <\/span><\/p>\n
