Rhytmic flamenco hand-clapping is called las palmas.
Explanation:
Rhytmic flamenco hand-clapping is called las palmas. Flamenco is a music genre typical of the region of Andalucía, in the south of Spain. It is famous for many reasons: the dresses the women wear, which are really characteristic, with dots and flowers and fringes. Apart from that the music itself is really special with a singing that sounds as a kind of lamentation or cry. But what really makes it special is the hand-clapping, called "las palmas" or "palmas flamencas". It's a hand-clapping that accompanies the whole singing and dancing, making rhythm.
