It is fascinating! "Pinpointing the exact origins of flamenco is as difficult as identifying that first spark in a passionate romance. It kindled around the 11th century when nomadic groups from the Rajasthan and Punjab regions of India travelled to the Iberian Peninsula. Their unique style of folk music, song and dance united effortlessly with the local Andalusian folk music - already a beautiful amalgamation of Byzantine, Moorish and Jewish traditions. It was this worldwide matrimony that initially sparked the flamenco genre that we know today. Flamenco’s long-sustained cultural significance was highlighted in 2010, when it was inscribed on UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Unearthing these historical influences, Ignacio explores the musical interactions of these various cultures, and their effects on the numerous toques heard today. Within his own compositions, inspired by his travels around the Andalusian provinces, India and the Middle-East, he embraces the original modes, melodic phrases, specific tempos and rhythms that have been developed and passed down over the centuries. Andalusia is a southern Spanish gateway between Europe and Africa, bordering both the Atlantic and Mediterranean Seas. It is located near the bottom of the Iberian Peninsula. As a result, it has become a musical kaleidoscope of Andalusian, Moorish-Arab, Jewish and Romani traditions." And did you know that the number 1 characteristical flamenco scale (Phrygian dominant) is also the identifying sound of Klezmer and Hebrew Prayer music and is often identified as the "Jewish scale"? Besides this, it is also historically the most common scale in Northern India, where the Romani people (Gypsies) are believed to have migrated from well over a thousand years ago.
No. The roots are in Andalucía, Spain. Certainly Sephardi contributed to its genesis. The Spanish guitar was quintessential in the form and as everybody knows the 6 string Spanish guitar was invented by Jose de Torres, Granada / Sevilla, Spain.
@@johnroberts1141The 9 note Flamenco scale is not the same as eastern European scales, nor the Middle Eastern scales it also takes from. The Andalucian Cadence can only be fully harmonised by the 9 note scale based on the Phrygian mode plus # 2 sharps. Nothing else. The Sephardi (indigenous Spanish jews) contributed one note which is shared by middle eastern cultures and Balkan and Russian gypsies, Turkiye, Persia, etc, Flamenco is a fusion of cultures, the scale is not European.
