  Am wrong! Flamenco has an African influence. :D  The influence of the New World Recent research has revealed a major influence of Sub-Saharan African music on flamenco's prehistory. This developed from the music and dance of African slaves held by the Spanish in the New World. There are 16th and 17th century manuscripts of classical compositions that are possibly based on African folk forms, such as negrillas, zarambeques, and chaconas. We also find mention of the fandango indiano (Indiano meaning from the Americas, but not necessarily Native American). Some critics support the view that the names of flamenco palos, like the tangos or even the fandango, are derived from Bantoid languages[4], and most theories state that the rhythm of the tangos was imported from Cuba.  The world is about covered. Black influence on music seems world wide.:D  LOL:rofl Just look at the way this is worded and it screams BS.  Recent research. ..yeah, revisionism.  On Flamenco's pre history ...yeah..right. WHERE do you get this stuff? Farrakhan wouldn't even make such a moronic black centric assertion.      Now Classical music is African.....riight. Boy you must be outch ya damn mind. Stop huffing paint. You are only reinforcing negative Black stereotypes on this site by being so imbecilic.
