Todos los jud&iacute;os y musulmanes que se negaron a convertirse al cristianismo fueron expulsados del pa&iacute;s y todos los gitanos que se negaron a abandonar el camino abierto y a asentarse tambi&eacute;n fueron expulsados. Como consecuencia, estas tres culturas perseguidas, con muy poco en com&uacute;n, se encontraron unidas contra un enemigo com&uacute;n. Es probable que a partir de la vida com&uacute;n de estos pueblos perseguidos comenzaran a surgir las primeras semblanzas del flamenco tal como lo conocemos.

Es probable que este t&eacute;rmino fuera prestado de los &aacute;rabes (que era la lengua com&uacute;n en Andaluc&iacute;a en ese momento) y aplicado a todas las personas perseguidas que hu&iacute;an a las monta&ntilde;as. A trav&eacute;s del uso en espa&ntilde;ol, &quot;felagmengu&quot; se transform&oacute; en &quot;Flamenco&quot; hasta que el t&eacute;rmino Flamenco fue adoptado por los propios fugitivos y a su vez aplicado a su m&uacute;sica. La forma principal en ese momento era el &quot;cante jondo&quot; que expresaba el sufrimiento de estos marginados perseguidos, que a lo largo de los a&ntilde;os fueron condenados a servir en las galeras, en las cadenas y en el ej&eacute;rcito espa&ntilde;ol. Se les prohibi&oacute; hablar sus propios idiomas y muchos fueron asesinados. De alguna manera, su esp&iacute;ritu permaneci&oacute; intacto, y su modo de expresi&oacute;n, su Flamenco, se desarroll&oacute; a lo largo de los siglos alcanzando magn&iacute;ficas alturas, culminando en el per&iacute;odo de los Caf&eacute;s Cantantes del siglo pasado.El baile flamenco como lo conocemos ahora es una forma art&iacute;stica expresiva que tiene un significado ritual.

Many flamencologos (Flamenco historians) believe that Flamenco as we know it today did not develop until the sixteenth century, when the kingdom of Castilla decided to rid Spain of minority groups in an effort to propagate pureness of race and religion. All Jews and Muslims that refused to convert to Christianity were expelled from the country and all gypsies who would not leave the open road and settle down were expelled as well. As a consequence, these three persecuted cultures, with very little in common, found themselves united against a common foe. It is probable that from the common life of these persecuted peoples that the first semblances of Flamenco as we know it began. Muslim, Jewish, Indian, and Christian religious and folk music blended, developing over the years into a musical form all its own.<p fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none;" style="box-sizing: border-box; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none; line-height: 1.5; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none;" style="box-sizing: border-box; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none;">Many historians believe the world &ldquo;Flamenco&rdquo; is a mispronunciation of the Arabic words &ldquo;felag&rdquo; and &ldquo;mengun&rdquo; which means fugitive peasants. It is likely that this term was borrowed from the Arabs (which was the common language in Andalusia at that time) and applied to all persecuted people who fled to the mountains. Through usage in Spanish, &ldquo;felagmengu&rdquo; was transformed into &ldquo;Flamenco&rdquo; until the term Flamenco was adopted by the fugitives themselves and in turn applied to their music. The main form at that time, was the &ldquo;cante jondo&rdquo; which expressed the suffering of these outlawed oppressed people, who through the years were condemned to serve in the galleys, in chain gangs, and in the Spanish army. They were prohibited to speak their own languages and many were killed. Somehow their spirit remained unbroken, and their mode of expression&ndash; their Flamenco- -developed to magnificent heights throughout the centuries, culminating in the Caf&eacute; Cantante period of the last century.<p fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none;" style="box-sizing: border-box; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none; line-height: 1.5; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none;" style="box-sizing: border-box; background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none;">Flamenco dance as we now know it is an expressive art form that has a ritual significance. It is a mixture and fusion with elements from several different cultures.

Flamenco consists of various palos, the difference between them lies predominantly in the rhythm structure and melody. We will study the structure through phrase work and rhythm training with palmas.</li></ul>A brief history of FlamencoFlamenco’s origins come from a mixture of many cultures, the most important being Muslim, Jewish, Indo-Pakistani and Byzantine. Many flamencologos (Flamenco historians) believe that Flamenco as we know it today did not develop until the sixteenth century, when the kingdom of Castilla decided to rid Spain of minority groups in an effort to propagate pureness of race and religion. All Jews and Muslims that refused to convert to Christianity were expelled from the country and all gypsies who would not leave the open road and settle down were expelled as well. As a consequence, these three persecuted cultures, with very little in common, found themselves united against a common foe. It is probable that from the common life of these persecuted peoples that the first semblances of Flamenco as we know it began. Muslim, Jewish, Indian, and Christian religious and folk music blended, developing over the years into a musical form all its own.Many historians believe the world “Flamenco” is a mispronunciation of the Arabic words “felag” and “mengun” which means fugitive peasants. It is likely that this term was borrowed from the Arabs (which was the common language in Andalusia at that time) and applied to all persecuted people who fled to the mountains. Through usage in Spanish, “felagmengu” was transformed into “Flamenco” until the term Flamenco was adopted by the fugitives themselves and in turn applied to their music. The main form at that time, was the “cante jondo” which expressed the suffering of these outlawed oppressed people, who through the years were condemned to serve in the galleys, in chain gangs, and in the Spanish army. They were prohibited to speak their own languages and many were killed. Somehow their spirit remained unbroken, and their mode of expression– their Flamenco- -developed to magnificent heights throughout the centuries, culminating in the Café Cantante period of the last century.Flamenco dance as we now know it is an expressive art form that has a ritual significance. It is a mixture and fusion with elements from several different cultures. Therefore, Flamenco has a diverse range of melodies, rhythms, and structures that together express the deeper and more complex feelings of the human being with each “palo” expressing an emotion.Today, Flamenco consists of:<ul><li>Cante- song</li><li>Dance- baile</li><li>Toque- guitar playing</li><li>Jaleo- rhythm accentuation and reciting</li></ul></div>
