El flamenco, expresión genuinea de ese
particular sentir del ser andaluz y del gitano,
toma de la fusión de la cultura árabe, sefardita
y mora para expresarse a si mismo y traspasar,
asi, las barreras que por antonomasia envuelve a
este arte en un secreto casi místico. The
flamenco, a genuine expression of the Andalusian
gypsy experience, fuses the Arabic, Sephardic,
and Moorish cultures while, at the same time, the
transgression of these barriers envelops the art
in an almost mystical secrecy.
