“The guitar is the instrument that is most accessible to the pueblo, not just to people of a bit higher status. It brought culture and music to the working people… A family that might not have money to eat could pick up their guitar in the evening and forget their troubles for a while. Flamenco’s own DNA is woven of many musical influences: it blends Romani strands that stretch back to northern India with Moorish and Sephardic Jewish roots, as well as imprints from the many of the other groups that have made the Iberian Peninsula their home over the course of history. There has always been such a variety of peoples in Spain  . .Musically and culturally, all have left their mark—especially in flamenco,” says Almarcha.
