A vintage flamenco clip from the 1970's. "Por Tarantos" is a very somber and serious dance that belongs in the "cante jondo" family.
Flamenco dance uses costume as an extension of the dancers body. In the introduction, she masterfully plays with the "manton" (shawl) like a matador and exaggerate her movements with the long train of her ruffled skirt called "bata de cola".
The finger snapping is called "pitos" whereby you snap pinky, ring, middle, and index finger consecutively after the other.
