The final Suite Flamenca consists of six traditional flamenco pieces originating from Andalusia, Aragon, Cadiz and Galicia. It tells of a way of living and sensing the world, portraying the joy and bitterness of life, the sweetness of love and sorrow of loss.
Through the distinctive dances, songs, percussion and rhythmic hand clapping (called toque de palmas), this work best illustrates the rich cultural heritage of flamenco.
To Salinas, flamenco represents a different way of appreciating dance. The direct and intense emotions of flamenco do not require an analytical mind. Rather, there is a sense of immediacy that urges the audience to appreciate the work on a physical level.
