Secondlines and Flamenco Dance

New Orleans Secondlines and Flamenco-the most natural combination in history I can imagine.
The shared humanistic origin is scarily identical. Born in both cultures I see it, think it and feel it. I only want to share.

Origins. The second line has its origins in traditional West African circle or ring dances. The second line tradition was brought to New Orleans by enslaved Africans, where it became a ritual for African Americans, especially in various processions, including funerals.
But it goes back much more…thanks to Spain’s historic presence in the Western Hemisphere.
