New York’s legacy flamenco dance companies are Flamenco Vivo Carlota Santana and Soledad Barrio & Noche Flamenca, but there are others now.

Flamenco is Spanish, but some Spanish flamenco traditions are from the Caribbean and South America. Caribbean flamenco dancers made New York a flamenco city.

We have a couple of great legacy Spanish flamenco dance companies, and many excellent newcomers, from both Spain and the Americas.

The Flamenco Certamen is the USA flamenco talent competition.


Spanish Flamenco

Andalusía, the southern tip of Spain, is the flamenco heartland. Flamenco is very Spanish, but has influences from Asia and the Americas.

Flamenco is a Romani tradition. It absorbed influences along the road of the Romani migration from northern India, where they were traveling court musicians.

The road starts through what are now Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran. A northern route passed through Türkiye and Europe. A southern route passed through Arab lands, and North Africa. The Muslim call to prayer becomes the flamenco cry, which an oriental temperament.

The cajon (African Diaspora box drum) and rumba flamenca are traditions from the Americas that have become traditional flamenco. In fact, the wealth of Iberia came from the Americas.

Purists criticize her for being from Barcelona, but Rosalía’s urban flamenco fusions have triggered a global flamenco renaissance.

This Romani Spanish dance is one of the proofs that for humans, there is no such thing as pure. We are the most beautiful mixes of each other.

Flamenco is not a source of Latin music because flamenco developed after the roots of Latin music were established in the Americas. But flamenco blends beautifully with many kinds of Latin music. It fits perfectly with clave, the African and Afro-Cuban bell pattern that defines a lot of Latin music.
