Flamenco is a rich cultural fusion of music and dance, born from the blending of Greek psalms, Mozarabic dirges, and African rhythms with Iranian and Romany melodies. The film showcases 13 distinct flamenco rhythms, each featuring a unique song, guitar, and dance performance, including the energetic bularías, the brooding farruca, and the anguished martinete. The camera captures the passion and intensity of the performances, as families and solo artists take to the stage, presenting a diverse range of numbers that are both festive and fierce.
