None of the cities
from the Spanish territory escaped the new phenomenon. Flamenco
relegated from cafes by the cuplé and the cinema
re-launches itself occupying theatres and plazas de toros
(bullfighting sites). This phase, starting from the second
half of the 20th century, was known as flamenco opera, a
name given to hide the business tricks used to evade paying
taxes. Furthermore, flamenco adapts to these stages full
orchestras, mixed styles impregnated by cuplé and
American folklore, storylines,. In this way, flamenco artists
became real mass attractions, such is the case of La
Niña de los Peines, Pepe Pinto, Manuel Torre,
Manolo Caracol, El Niño Gloria, Angelillo, Manuel
Vallejo, José Cepero, La Niña de la Puebla,
Juanito Valderrama.
