At the level of the dance, we also emphasize a typical gesture: the feet strike the ground ("zapateado") while that the upper body sketches arabesques (“braceo”).Since the middle of the 19th century, the guitar has accompanied singers and dancers with dignity: the musicians tap the strings (“rasgueado”) while playing other melodic sequences (“falsetas”), all creating chords with unusual colors.Finally, it happens that percussions mingle with the whole: the simple clap of the hands, the tambourine, the castanets and sometimes the cajon are therefore also present.Among the greatest flamenco singers, dancers, guitarists and percussionists, we note in particular: Antonio Chacon, Camaron de la Isla, Enrique Morente, Carmen Linares, Vicente Escudero, Manuela Carrasco, Concha Vargas, Israel Galvan, Andres Marin, Paco de Lucia, Ramon Montoya, Tomatito and Gerardo Nunez.Sources: https://pad.philharmoniedeparis.fr/Would you like to discover Seville during the flamenco biennial?Read our dedicated article here without delay.Stay from €110 per night (flights included).To plan your trip and book your tickets to the biennale, consult the following sites in particular:https://www.spain.info/en/https://www.andalucia.org/fr/accueil/https://www.visitasevilla.es/en/
