DESCRIPTION
The flamenco-appreciative audience is not usually a mere passive spectator. To fully understand and enjoy a flamenco performance, or even to participate in an improvised get-together, it is essential to be knowledgeable, with regard to its practical dimension, about the language of song (cante), dance (baile) and guitar music (toque). We will approach flamenco music not only as an art form but as a shared cultural expression of the Andalusian identity, history, and spirit. Accordingly, in this course, we will learn about the rich legacy of all the different cultures involved in the creation and evolution of this genre.
