In the XIXth century, the writers and artists were describing images about a coast inhabitated by voluptous women, with long black hair and fire eyes, and mustached men, with picturesque appearance. Ifyou look for that type of people, you will be disappointed, being given that Spain occupies a high place in the process of globalization. Although, beneath the surface there is a complex structure of regional differences and deeply rooted traditions, that even young people with mobile phones have not abandoned. \u201dFlamenco\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 dance is one of those traditions.  Flamenco Is Alive Flamenco is a combination of song,\u00a0 guitar sound, and dance that summarizes\u00a0 the complex spirit of Andaluzia, a region in Spain. Arabic, oriental and gypsy influences have mixed, forming this characteristic sound in its most raw state means spontaneous outbursts. The flounces, jerky movements and\u00a0 the dancer\u2019s claps are easily accessible to foreigners, but give birth often to disappointing mechanical performances, supported for the tourists on \u201dcostas.\u201d With all these, the real \u201dflamenco \u201d is still alive and since the\u00a0 80\u2019s, it began to reinvent itself.  Flamenco Origins Most of the specialists consider that flamenco\u2019s origins descend form the XVth century, when gypsies came from the north of India through Egypt, and their music knitted\u00a0 with that of the Moors and the Jews from Andalusia. Sevilla, Jerez, and Cadiz were the first three cities where the schools of flamenco appeared. Regardless of its variations, flamenco\u2019s purpose is to reach \u201dduente,\u201d an intense and interactive communication with the public, that participates through shouts of appreciation. Like an unwritten tradition, it is considered that the loss, mourning or injustice is much more important than the tonal clarity and it is often interpreted as \u201da capella\u201d. How Is It Danced? In this dance, mezmerizing movements of the legs is paramount, this being also an explanation for the long dresses with flounces, that have a huge cut in front. In the 70\u2019s, Manuela Carrasco carried this technique to its highest peaks.  Whoever saw the movie \u201dCarmen\u201d (1983), by Carlos Saura, must remember the amazing dancing feet of Cristina Hoyos, dancing next to Antonio Gades. Their generation is now sunset, but\u00a0 the torch is carried on by Joaquin Cortes, Eva \u201dLa Yerbabuena,\u201d and later by young Nino de los Reyes. In the point of view of interpretation, flamenco has its traditional interpretors, most of them gypsy. So if you want to experience such passion, visit Spain. It is really worth your interest."}
