Flamenco is a genuine Spanish art. It exists in three forms: Cante, the song, Baile, the dance, and Guitarra, guitar playing.

But also the popular songs and dances of Andalusia have influenced early Flamenco considerably. Certainly there were other influences that, directly or indirectly, influenced Flamenco.
