What is jota spain?

Jota is a traditional folk dance and music style from various regions of Spain, particularly Aragon, Castile, Navarra, La Rioja, and parts of Castile-La Mancha and Extremadura. It is typically performed in pairs or groups, with the dancers moving in a fast and energetic rhythm. The music often features live instruments such as guitars, accordions, and tambourines, and the lyrics usually tell stories of love, nature, or local customs. Jota is an important part of cultural heritage in Spain and is often performed at festivals, weddings, and other celebrations. It has also been adapted into modern music and dance styles, including flamenco and contemporary folk.
