Did you know?
Flamenco emerged as a unique art form in the 15th century. Spanish Gypsies (Roma) danced flamenco privately in their rural homes. The dance gradually migrated from the countryside to the cities in the south of Spain, where artists performed on the streets and in plazas. By the 1840s, nightclubs called “Cafes del Cante” began to host flamenco Tablaos, giving artists the opportunity to demonstrate their skills.
