Flamenco is an inherently multicultural art form, evolving from the interaction of many cultures--including the Moorish, Jewish, Spanish, and especially the Gypsy. Northern Africa and South America have influenced this diverse art form as well. As a result, Flamenco is considered worldwide to be one of the most culturally rich expressions of folklore.

Flamenco is one of the most popular Spanish art forms because of the great intensity of its music and its energetic dance, that reveal a vision of life full of pride, passion, honor, love, sorrow, and death.

The universality of these themes, along with the cultural diversity of Flamenco's origins, touch on the many cultures present in the Americas. The richness of this traditional art form enhances the lives of all people who experience it.
