Ramsey County Library - Flamenco Espana!
Ramsey County Library sponsored Flamenco Espana! in cooperation with Compas Young Audiences of Minnesota at the Maplewood Library. Flamenco dancing demonstrations provided from different culture in Spain.
Flamenco is an exciting and energetic art form from southern Spain that embodies rich cultural influences of the Andalusian, Gypsy, Islamic and Sephardic cultures that have lived there through history. The dancer’s rhythmic footwork, graceful arm and hand movements, and hand clapping are accompanied by the powerful strumming and soulful chords of the guitar to express a wide variety of styles, or palos, from the most serious cante jondo, to the light-hearted cante chico.
