Flamenco since its origins has been deeply rooted in the talent and experiences of the gypsies from all over Andalucia mainly, and to a lesser extent from other areas of the Iberian peninsula.
The lyrics of flamenco treat any imaginable theme, from up to date stories, to politics, to love, to history, to humor, and so on. Because of its possibilities, important flamenco interpreters vary according to their specialty. The most common dance and cante of the eight Andalusian provinces is the sevillanas. In their origin the sevillanas counted with only one part, until the Reyes brothers, a group of sevillanas from Castilleja de la Cuesta, "invented" the sevillana as we know it today with four parts quite differentiated with its distinct steps dance in couples.
For this reason of so many palos or styles, some people concentrate in mastering only one or maximum three or four. Flamenco includes dozens of different palos styles of flamenco each a unique combination of rhythm, harmony, pulse, and lyrics. These styles are known as Palo Secos , or dry styles, and they are the oldest forms of song known today.
My friends we have seen the different palos or styles of flamenco. Deeper understanding of each takes time and discipline. Most flamenco dancers spend their lifetime learning just a few of them, and even some dancers prefer to stick to one or two forms.
But one thing is sure, Bulerias is my favorite; it is spontaneous and dynamic, letting me utilize the element of surprise, something I love to do.
Another thing it has is that the choreography can be used in parties and family gatherings. Are you curious to find out which is your favorite palo?

I thought that there was only one form of the flamenco dance, but I see there are definitely more than that! And I also that the dance was spelled the same as the bird, but I see I was wrong about that too. Thanks for breaking it down! Like Liked by 1 person. Hi Tee Marie, Thank you for your comment, flamenco surprised me too.
I was shocked when I found out I had to learn so many formats. I believe it is fascinating, and it gives us something to think of. Many cultures have influenced flamenco to what it is today; the Arabic, African, Jews, Romanian and Indian cultures all included. Like Like. Reblogged this on MadeleineMaya.

With the development of flamenco music, flamenco dance also emerged, which appeared for the first time, recognizably as a structured dance, in the 18th century. The duos, usually performed by a man and a woman, are also very intense dances and with a high dose of emotion, since the dancers maintain a kind of competition in which passion, tension and emotion come into play.
In a show, after the first bars of music and voice, when the dance starts, the artist interprets the style in question with his whole body: arms, legs and even with the expression of his face. The structure of the piece, the movements and the intensity of the interpretation depends on the type of flamenco dance that is performed. Each style has a compass, an origin cantes de forge, party, back and forth … , a specific type of lyrics and a music that differentiates some clubs from others.
