What it is Filled
An art form from Andalusia in southern Spain combining singing, guitar playing, dance, handclaps and rhythm in a repertoire of forms called palos such as solea, siguiriyas, alegrias, alborea and garrotin, developed among Gitano communities and Andalusian people from the eighteenth century and influenced by many traditions, with regional variants including Catalan flamenco; flamenco is inscribed as intangible cultural heritage and is performed in intimate gatherings, tablaos, theatres and festivals worldwide.
