Moorish and Spanish culture is the roots of flamenco guitar. Flamenco guitar is mostly originated from both cultural elements. There is a dance form of its kind it’s also called flamenco and the artistic expression of the dance form revolves around the song. Te flamenco sons have created centuries ago during times of ethnic persecution. When the singer sings the song their voice regrets the hardship and despair wanting a better future. Nowadays flamenco guitar proved to be an art in self. Flamenco guitar is made with cypress wood and Spanish spruce. The playing style and format are completely different from another classic guitar. The main style of flamenco guitar playing is that the guitarist has to tap their figure against the guitar while playing. The Sound of a flamenco guitar gives the audience both melody, percussion, and auditory pleasure around it.
