alegrías

Plural delights, Spanish

Alegrías is a lively, upbeat style of flamenco music and dance that originated in the port city of Cádiz in southern Spain.

The name comes from the Spanish word for "joys" or "happiness," and the form is characterized by its major key, bright tempo, and celebratory mood.

Alegrías is also the name of a traditional Spanish confection made from amaranth seeds bound with honey or sugar syrup, popular in Mexico as a street snack.
