It can not remain stagnant, because its eclectic origin is an undeniable fact. The passing of time has defined the limits of the word flamenco. Flamenco is all about absorption and metabolism. The concept of fusion is very old, but it has been referred to in different ways, and sometimes it has taken place unintentionally. Movement is the essential and determining factor.
Movement implies life.
Flamenco's origins are shrouded in darkness. Following a hazy period of mythology and mystery, the initial references, which at first seemed so closed and hermetic, are being pushed aside to reveal the most genuine product of Andalusian culture. All folklore comes from old traditions, from collective creations, but it is thought that flamenco is a little over two centuries old. Speculation beyond this point is no more than an exotic whim, a pipe dream, and a flight of fancy in absence of logical assumption. In the 19th century, flamenco was defined as we now know it.
