flamenco
- /fləˈmɛŋkəʊ/ UK
Where it comes from
Borrowed from Spanish flamenco, from Middle Dutch vlaminc (“Fleming”) (> Dutch Vlaming).
noun flamencos
- A genre of folk music and dance native to Andalusia, in Spain. It's impossible to tell the story of flamenco without talking about Lorca, who found in it a source of inspiration in a lifelong political-cultural-sexual struggle against bourgeois philistinism.
- A song or dance performed in such a style. La Niña was so goddam terrific that after a month of singing with the vocal trio, she was singing solo and she was dancing a flamenco better'n a gypsy fireball!
