Flamenco: Typical music in Spain

Flamenco is a Spanish music and dance that originated in Andalusia in the eighteenth century

My favourite part of Flamenco is the Spanish Guitar.

In Spain, the man or woman who plays Flamenco with the Spanish guitar is called “Tocaor”(male) and “Tocaora”(female), which is a modified word in Spanish and the literal meaning is “toucher”, but it actually means player. The person who sings flamenco is a “Cantaor” or “Cantaora” and the person who dances Flamenco is a “Bailaor”

A good “Tocaor” was Paco de Lucía, and the most famous song was “Entre dos aguas” and this song was the “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” OST. If you want listen to it, click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuIFpvUOuQw

A good “Cantaor” was the mytichal Camaron de la Isla and I think that his most famous song is “Volando voy” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0-ED4e-r-U&feature=related. It’s an old video but I think that is better, because we can see the singer.
