It is true that for centuries flamenco was practiced by outcasts. Regarding to when flamenco originated, the first reports are of the XVIII century, but it can’t be ruled out that it can be so much older than that, around the XV – XVI century.Īt this point of our post, we can wonder how did flamenco become so popular? Wasn’t it only practiced by the poor? So, it comes to no surprise as to why flamenco is so hard to pinpoint in history.
