Talk:Flamenco

Flamenco has Arabic origin in Andalucia

Flamenco comes from two Arabic words Fala(h) (which is even mentioned on the Sala/Solea/daily prayer and Manco (b) devastated, the Moors or Arab Muslims hid their belief during end of Al Andalus and they were powerless, had only their hands to clap and their feet to his the floor and their voice to cry of sadness. Why is it not mentioned ? 2A00:801:76C:A088:8418:5E64:BEE9:4768 (talk) 12:24, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

Gaps

Admittedly flamenco is a rich and complex topic, and there may be many things inadvertently left out of this article. One of the glaring gaps to me, is the skipping of virtually an entire generatino of flamenco artists, between thf Franco years and the "New flamenco". It seems that we jump from Ramón Montoya in the early 20th century directly to Paco de Lucía in the early 21st.

What about the era from the mid- to late 20th century when flamenco was being introduced and popularized in teh western world through the tireless efforts of artists like Sabicas, Niño Ricardo, Manitas de Plata, and Diego del Gastor? Or Carlos Montoya, about whom Wikipedia's own article says "a founder of the modern-day popular flamenco style of music"?

I realize that these artists and their contemporaries in flamenco have their critics, but they are, nonetheless, and integral part of the history and development of the genre. After all, if you're OK with including Paco -- who branched out to play with Santana, Al Dimeola, and John McLaughlin -- surely this missing generation should also have a place. (Ricardo was, in fact, one of Paco's teachers.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.253 (talk) 02:47, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

The moorish roots of flamenco

No expert on flamenco or Spanish/Arab/Muslim music/history but the obvious connections to Spains moorish past, for anyone with the slightest theoretical understanding of music, must seem really white-washed away in the current text. Can someone with unbiased knowledge about the subject please expand the article covering that, imho., very important influence? Siggimund (talk) 13:08, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

Considering that music and dance was haram back then, I doubt it, 46.15.65.198 (talk) 15:43, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Opera only paid 3%? Of what?

Hi, what is meant by "This denomination was an economic strategy of the promoters, since opera only paid 3% while variety shows paid 10%"? Taxes? If yes, which tax? 2A0A:A541:7977:0:A984:8567:BDAD:3CEC (talk) 09:32, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Citation Style?

Hello!

The article uses both Harvard citations and Superscript citations (Superscript in the beginning, but it deviates later on, when talking about the Palos). I appreciate that both are allowed, on Wikipedia, but are both allowed within one article? I thought this would violate rules about consistency within an article? If this should be fixed I can, just asking if there is something I have missed. Thanks! Dagueneau (talk) 18:10, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
