	Flamenco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flamenco is a song, music and dance style which is strongly influenced by the Gitanos, but which has its deeper roots in Moorish and Jewish musical traditions.
		Similarly, guitar players supporting the dancers increasingly gained a reputation, and so flamenco guitar as an art form by itself was born.
		The traditional flamenco guitar is made of Spanish cypress and spruce, and is lighter in weight and a bit smaller than a classical guitar, to give the output a 'sharper' sound.

	WhatMakesFlamenco
		Typically, the depth of the guitar body of the flamenco is shallower than the classical, with the soundboard and the back of the instrument usually 1/8" 1/4" closer together.
		Internally, the length of the fan braces of a flamenco guitar are not as long and this shortens the duration of tone, giving a more immediate sound the characteristic "punch" that is a desirable flamenco attribute.
		The pegs are lighter in weight and aid in the holding of the guitar in the traditional (but seldom used) position in which the guitar is supported by the right arm and rests on the right leg without touching the left leg.

	History of Flamenco
		Flamenco is a tripartite art, involving singing, dance and the guitar simultaneously - as well as rhytmic punctuation (by hand-claps and other methods) that is considered an art form in its own right.
		The accompaniment of the singing by the guitar is a later phenomenon altough it is recorded by travellers in Andalusia in the 18th century.
		The action of the flamenco guitar is set lower than that of the classical, with the strings closer to the frets for rapid fingering, and the fingerboard itself is usually slightly narrower.

		There are several subcategories within the acoustic guitar group: classical and flamenco guitars, both of which use nylon and composite strings, and steel string guitars, which includes the flat top, or "folk" guitar, the closely related twelve string guitar, and the arch top guitar.
		Flamenco guitars are almost equal in construction, have a sharper sound, and are used in flamenco.
		Acoustic bass guitars also have steel strings, and match the tuning of the electric bass, which is likewise similar to the traditional double bass viol, the "big bass", a staple of string orchestras and bluegrass bands alike.

		Flamenco is attributed by many to the Gypsy and Moorish influences in Spain on the regional Andalucian folkloric music; the term "Flamenco" was used to denominate the Gypsies of Cadiz in the early 1800's.
		Flamenco began then to be heard in the regional coffee houses and taverns, entering its "Golden Age" in the late 1800's.
		Flamenco is full of intrigue: beautiful and elaborate costumes, gritty, passionate voices, the clapping of hands, the syncopated stomp of feet, the rich and intricate guitar fingerwork, the intensity of sidelong glances and the deep pool of dark eyes peering over the top of a lacey fan.

		've been trying to learn a bit of flamenco guitar over the past few of years, and more often than not find passages too fast for my simple abilities - the potential of using MIDI to assist my playing and learning (especially by slowing down passages) struck me as being worth investigating.
		At the time I was unable to find any flamenco music transcribed in MIDI on the network, so hopefully these pieces may fill a small gap.
		I must stress that the pieces I have transcribed are not ones of the technical excellence you would hear in a virtuoso performance of flamenco guitar, though I hope you'll enjoy them all the same.
