Traditions and celebrations

History of Flamenco dance

The roots of Flamenco, although somewhat mysterious, seem to lie in the migration of Roma from Rajasthan (in southwest India) to Spain in the 8th and 14th centuries.

These migrants brought with them musical instruments such as tambourines, bells, and wooden castanets, as well as a wide repertoire of songs and dances.
