Nuevo Flamenco ("New Flamenco") is synonymous with contemporary flamenco and is a modern derivative of traditional flamenco. It combines Flamenco-guitar virtuosity with muscial fusion.[1] Jazz, rumba, bossa nova, Gypsy, Latin, Celtic, Middle Eastern, Rock, Jazz, Cuban Swing, Tango and Salsa have all been fused into Flamenco by different artists to produce its sound.[2][3]

Traditional flamenco had been displaced in Spain in the 1950s and 1960s by Rock-and-Roll.[4] Artists such as Camarón de la Isla worked with the music during that period, infusing it with new sound. However it was during the 1980s that revival really took off, by artists such as Paco de Lucia, Pata Negra, and Ketama.[4] The artists fused it with other forms, including jazz and salsa.[4] Although fused with other music, it was still based on the classic flamenco the artists had grown up with, a new form of the old.[4] Another artist, today widely associated with the revival is Ottmar Liebert. His 1990 album, Nouveau Flamenco has been suggested as giving the modern music its name.[1]

[edit] Notable flamenco artists

Some of today's leading flamenco guitarists are Paco de Lucia, Tomatito, Vicente Amigo, Gerardo Nuñez, Juan Martín, Niño Josele. Some of today's leading flamenco singers are Diego El Cigala, Duquende, Enrique Morente, and his daughter Estrella Morente.

There is also, particularly in the United States, a movement of music which is derived in part from flamenco, as well as world, jazz, and Latin music influences, among others.[vague] While these influences have as much an impact on this music as flamenco, it is a common misconception among the public to refer to it as "flamenco."[citation needed]

These guitarists have all gained fame for music grouped loosely as nuevo flamenco or rumba flamenca.
