Flamenco developed in Andalusia in southern Spain, blending Romani, Moorish and Andalusian folk traditions into a style defined by intricate guitar, handclaps and passionate dance. Short guitar riffs like this one are shared online as isolated stings rather than full songs, because a couple of seconds instantly signals the genre. On soundboards and in short-form video, the clip has become a shorthand for drama, romance or a flamboyant entrance, continuing flamenco's long move from live tablaos and recordings into everyday meme editing.
