Seguiriyas GitanasAntonio Chacón

Flamenco is a traditional Spanish music genre with a history of over 500 years.

Did you know there is a title in flamenco called “Don”? This title carries the same meaning as the Japanese “Don”—in other words, it denotes the face or top figure of the field.

In fact, across 500 years of history, only one person has ever earned this title.

The holder of that title is Don Antonio Chacón, who sings “Seguiriyas Gitanas.” He is not Romani.

Although flamenco originated with the Romani people, the fact that a non-Romani singer represents the genre shows just how merit-based flamenco is.

In conclusion

Flamenco, which the Spanish have preserved for so long.

With the advent of nuevo flamenco, the scope of flamenco expanded dramatically.

What’s interesting is how the flamenco flavor is combined with other genres.

It’s not so different from mixing R&B with enka in Japan.

You can sense the high level of Spanish music.
