Flamenco "Sevillanas & Castanets".
FLAMENCO is the traditional song and dance of the Gypsies of Andalucía in southern Spain. Flamenco is a tripartite art, involving singing "cante", dance "baile" and the guitar "toque" simultaneously - as well as rhythmic punctuation (by hand-claps and other methods) that is considered an art form in its own right. There are hundreds of different types of pieces within flamenco, which have generic names such as seguiriyas, soleares, alegrias, malagueñas, fandangos, etc. They are defined by characteristic melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic structures; each has a characteristic mood and many are variants of essentially similar forms.
SEVILLANAS is a type of folk music, sung and written in Andalusia (Spain). Sevillanas are danced in pairs by children, teenagers and adults at nightclubs, parties, and most famously at the annual Feria de Abril in Sevilla. Sevillanas is a fun and exciting dance that enlivens any party and is essential in the repertoire of any flamenco dancer and for all who just love the art of flamenco. Generally speaking, sevillanas are very light and happy music. Its rhythm is 3/4 or better 6/8. Each sevillana is composed of 4 parts, with each part divided into 3 'coplas', and with each copla made up of 6 movements.
