It made me feel kind of unworthy. That is, until I formulated a carefully considered response to the issue of mystery. Well actually, it came to me in a dream on the lips of an angel. The wisdom that was revealed to me can be better understood if we take an example of how mystery applies in flamenco folklore. The dance form Garrotin, for example, has somewhat mysterious origins.
Nobody really knows for sure where it came from.
I personally don't think the issue is that important, but some researchers do think it's important, and like to argue about it. In my humble opinion, whether this dance originated in Galicia , Asturias or Lerida will always remain a matter for the die-hard intellectuals and is not worth fussing over. To make matters more interesting, my research also reveals that it has Celtic roots. Again, this is a matter for debate amongst those who find such things important. I like to stress these differences of opinion to point out that flamenco has a shrouded and uncertain history.
