[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Flamenco is a Spanish musical genre with strong, rhythmic undertones, and is often accompanied with a similarly impassioned style of dance
involving vigorous movements, such as hand-clapping and foot-stamping. Flamenco embodies a complex musical and cultural tradition.
Although considered part of the culture of Spain in general, flamenco actually originates from one region Andalusia.
However, other areas, mainly Extremadura and Murcia, have contributed to the development of several flamenco musical forms,
and a great number of renowned flamenco artists have been born in other territories of the state.
The roots of flamenco are not precisely known, but it is generally acknowledged that flamenco grew out of the unique interplay of native
Andalusian, Islamic, Sephardic, and Gypsy cultures that existed in Andalusia prior to and after the Reconquest.
Latin American and especially Cuban influences have also been important in shaping several flamenco musical forms.

Hallo Ruud.Prachtig.! ik was vroeger helemaal gek van Flaminco dancing shows, since ik er in 1975 in Sitges voor het eerst mee kennis maakte.
Daar was toen een World Famous dancing crew, met prachtige meiden en dito costums in een wervelende show. Plenty Dia's van gemaakt, lange tijd een grote foto van aan de muur gehangen, sinds toen naar veel voorstellingen in Spanje geweest, maar nooit meer zoals de eerste in Sitges, Good memories.
bedankt voor de foto, ik moet toch eindelijk weer eens in die duizenden dia's duiken en er wat van digitaliceren.
Groeten van Jan

Wonderful lighting. xcellent capture. Excellent sharpness and details.

Hi Ruud,
Great expression and well captured movement. Strong contrasts in this photo are completely suitable with the character of flamenco and that of the Andalusian people. Very well done! Annie

PS/ I will be absent for the next week! Take care!

Hi Ruud,
