How exactly they came together as flamenco is a subject of great debate and a very interesting story. The gypsies from the south of Spain created this music day by day since their arrival to Spain in the 15th century. The tribes of Sind moved to Egypt and stayed in Giptanos until they were thrown out, and this time their first new destination was Checoslovaquia in Europe, but they knew that they were not going to be welcomed anywhere because of their number so they decided to divide themselves in three groups that moved to different parts of Europe. The first document to register the arrival of gypsies to Spain is from 1447. The gypsies have always lived as a nomad culture and when it comes to music they are acostumed to take the local music and make their own versions from it.
Music is very important in their celebrations and everyday life.
All they need to start to make music is a voice, and they soon start to add rythms with their hands and feet. They have always liked embelishments, improvisation and virtuosity and in Andaluc a they found a rich ground for their musicality, fertilized by hundreds of years of high culture, where not only Morish, but also Judish, Catholic and local musical influences mixed. The Mores had occupied Spain, and particularly the south, for about 800 years, science, economy and culture flurished in a rich mixture of cultures. During this time the predecessor of the flamenco guitar was introduced and developped. They came at a bad time because by then the Catholic Kings were trying to take Mores out.
