Flamenco

Post Reply New Topic

Is here anybody who knows how to play flamenco music?

Yes, I play flamenco guitar. Nowhere near the standard I'd like to, but enough to play at the occasional wedding or garden party, where I can fool the English into thinking I'm a real flamenco guitarist

Seriously, I think flamenco is the most challenging of all guitar styles, and I really don't have the time I'd like to devote to it.

I have a link to a piece on Youtube

How about you? Do you play/sing/dance flamenco?

This is a composition I wrote when I was 16. Not played in traditional flamenco nor classical style, but contains elements of both

I love Flamenco (even though I do not play it), It is one of my favorite genres of Music. It Originated in Andalucia, Spain by the Gitanos (Spanish Romani People) who originated from Northern India. Flamenco has Indian, Moorish arabic, Sephardic Jewish and many other influences. If you like Flamenco, you may like Arab Andalusian music and Sephardic Jewish music as they were some of the forerunners of Flamenco.

Yes I play guitar and flamenco is a style I do enjoy playing

I'm trying to learn Flamenco guitar
