Flamenco: In the strictest sense, the label "flamenco" is applied to the indigenous music and dance of Andalusia in the south of Spain. However, it is more widely used today to cover a wide range of Spanish folk music, particularly that written for guitar and voice. Flamenco-style guitar playing has been chiefly responsible for the worldwide interest in this type of music.

Our Customers Say...

“My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.”
Nick Moon, Portland, OR
