Energy, romance and beauty along with many other words can be used to describe this Spanish for of dance and music - flamenco is timeless and classical and it is found here at the Grand Riviera Princess Resort in the Riviera Maya.

Flamenco is a style of music and dance which is native to many regions of Spain.
Along with its Spaniard origins, Gypsy, Byzantine, Sephardic and Moorish elements have often been cited as influences in the development of flamenco. It has frequently been asserted that these influences coalesced near the end of the reconquista, in the 15th century. The origins of the word flamenco are unclear - it was not recorded until the late 18th century.
Flamenco is popularly depicted as being the music of Andulusian gitanos (gypsies) but historically its roots are in mainstream Andalusian society, beginning in the 18th century. Other regions, notably Extremadura and Murcia, have also contributed to the development of flamenco, and many flamenco artists have been born outside the gitano community. Latin American and especially Cuban influences have also contributed, as evidenced in the dances of "Ida y Vuelta".

  • This is not Flamenco. It is the dance and music called Sevillanas. It is a social dance form. This song is called Cara Cara... I have danced this form for years. It is beautiful but again it is not flamenco.
