Which plucked string instrument is famous in flamenco music?
The guitar
The guitar, particularly in its classical Spanish version, is at the heart of flamenco music. This instrument has evolved over the centuries, but it was in the 19th century that it began to take a form close to what we know today, becoming a pillar of Spanish musical identity. Flamenco guitarists use specific techniques such as rasgueado (rolling the fingers across the strings) and picado (plucking the strings), contributing to the passionate dynamics and captivating rhythm of flamenco.
