The Belgian Stamp depicts a dancing couple dressed in musical notes. My passion, my inspiration, my relaxation is Spanish flamenco. There is more just one flamenco.
Gypsies dance a solemn, suffering flamenco.
Flamenco danced by Spaniards is more 'allegro', happy, occasionally accompanied by castanettes. Bulerias, soleares, seguidillas, alegrias, peteneras, sevillanas, and tangos are different rythms, each with its steps, expression and mood. In fact, there is flamenco for every occasion from festive to mourning, danced with many or alone. My favorite contemporary flamenco singer is Camaron de la Isla. He has taken traditional flamenco sound and added airs of jazz.
