Description

Flamenco began with song. Flamenco songs gain their meaning from how the cantaor shapes them through improvisation; hence there is no set music. The guitarist’s accompaniment must follow where the singer leads.

The song often sounds like an angry chant; it expresses a sense of hurt, of emotion. Much like American Blues, flamenco is based on a lifestyle of poverty and oppression. This gentleman was a member of the audience and a friend of the trio performing. They invited him to join them. Their impromptu performance was probably as close to authentic flamenco as you can see in Spain today.
