The pandemic has canceled most of our vacation plans, but that doesn’t stop us from traveling the world through music. This holiday season, experience the beauty of Spanish culture by exploring one of its greatest musical exports: flamenco. Declared as part of the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010, the genre is an ethereal blend of polyrhythmic folk, classical guitars, and expressive dance. Though flamenco has many artists and songs to offer, this playlist offers the perfect introduction to the genre. So cook some paella, sip sangria, and listen along to this cultivated collection of tracks from flamenco veterans and indie darlings.
