What has been called “flamenco” since 1847 began to take shape in the 18th century as a reaction to the Italian and French music imposed in academic circles. A few gypsy families from the bay of Cadiz started performing traditional Andalusian songs, as well as Spanish and transatlantic ones, with unprecedented intonations. This dual gypsy and Andalusian aspect was complemented by the guitar, which in turn was inspired by both popular and classical music. The same happened with dance, a perfect synthesis of gypsy manners and boleros. Starting in 1865 flamenco spread rapidly as live entertainment in cafés until the end of the century, which marks the beginning of recordings on wax cylinders and slate records, with which flamenco entered a new phase in the 20th century.
