弗拉门戈是一种融合了歌曲(cante)、舞蹈(baile)和音乐(toque)的艺术表现形式。西班牙南部的安达卢西亚是弗拉明戈的中心,但在穆尔西亚和埃斯特雷马杜拉地区也可以找到弗拉明戈的根。歌曲是弗拉明戈的声音表现,通常是男女声以坐姿演唱,没有伴唱。悲伤、喜悦、悲哀、欢乐与恐惧――所有的情感和思想状态都可以通过极具表现力的歌词传达出来,而且歌词真挚,具有短小精悍的特点。弗拉明戈的舞蹈充满激情,具有求偶的意味,表达了从悲伤到喜悦各种情态。舞蹈的技术很复杂,而且取决于表演者是男性(加重脚的使用)还是女性(动作更温和,有更多的感性动作)。弗拉明戈的音乐或吉他演奏艺术早已超越了它原先的伴奏功能。其他乐器还包括响板,同时还使用鼓掌声和脚踏声。弗拉明戈常在宗教节日、礼仪、教堂仪式和私人庆典仪式上表演。这是许多社区和团体的身份标志,特别对吉塔诺人(罗姆人)社区来说更是如此,他们在弗拉明戈的发展中发挥了重要作用。弗拉明戈的传承已经经历了不同的时代,家庭、社会团体和弗拉门戈俱乐部在保存和传播弗拉明戈中都起到了关键作用。

Flamenco is an artistic expression that blends cante, baile and toque. Andalusia in southern Spain is the centre of Flamenco, however, the roots of Flamenco can also be found in Murcia and Estremadura. Song is the sound of Framingo. It’s usually expressed through the voice of men and women singing in a sitting position without accompaniment. All emotional and ideological states such as sadness, sorrow, joy and fear- can be conveyed through highly expressive lyrics, which are sincere and have the characteristics of being short and concise. Flamenco dance is full of passion, with the meaning of courtship, expressing all kinds of moods from sadness to joy. The technique of dance is complex and depends on whether the performer is male (stressing the use of foot) or female (more gentle movement, more sensual action). Flamenco music or guitar playing art has far gone beyond its original accompaniment function. Other instruments include rattles, as well as clapping and stepping sounds. Flamenco is often performed at religious festivals, rituals and church and private ceremonies. This is the identity mark of many communities and groups, especially for the Gitanos(Romany) community. They have played an important role in the development of Flamenco. Flamenco ‘s legacy has gone through different times. Families, social groups and Flamenco clubs all play a key role in preserving and spreading Flamenco.
