佛朗明哥根據安達魯西亞民俗歌舞所發展出來的西班牙傳統音樂，內裡的東方色彩無疑係源自

統治安達魯西亞八世紀的摩爾人，憂鬱氣質和興奮節奏則來自流浪吉普賽人，當然安達魯西亞

當地居民的熱情與戲劇特質也融入其中。

傳統取向的佛朗明哥比較嚴肅，歌曲內容主要在探討愛情、憂傷和死亡，後來則逐漸發展成

  比較輕盈、商業化、娛樂取向的歌舞。

這種娛樂取向的佛萊明哥，已經被廣泛認同，傳播到全世界。

吉他是佛朗明哥不可分割的重要部份，吉他手除了替歌手伴奏，

也能根據嚴格規則做出即興演奏，宣敘自身主張。

“Street smarts”, usually plural, is the noun referring to such knowledge and know-how gained from actually surviving on the street instead of the classroom.

In other words, people who are streetwise have a lot of practical knowledge to enable them to survive in tough real-life situations. They are not bookworms who may have done well in school but find it hard to cope with situations that ask for one's instincts, common sense and perhaps sheer guts and fearlessness.
