What is Flamenco Exactly?
A true Flamenco performance is made up of a number of parts, the Baile, Toque, Cante and the Palmas. Each one of these parts plays a crucial role in a traditional and authentic Flamenco performance. The Baile is the familiar dance, the Toque is the Flamenco guitar, the Cante is the singing and the Palmas is the distinctive clapping. The best Flamenco performances display mastery in all of these areas!
