Book Reviews of Flamenco: Gypsy Dance and Music from Andalusia
Book Review: A must for the flamenco aficionado.. Truly a labor of love.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the only book I've found in English that deals with flamenco on an in-depth, scholarly level. Fortunately, it is one that truly captivates and satisfies the demanding souls of flamenco enthusiasts. It is a work that succeeds at its attempt to cover all the aspects found at the heart of this rich art: song, guitar, as well as dance. These scholars really did their homework. They include a concise overview of the history of the gypsy people and their flourishing culture in the Southern Spanish region of Andalusia. There are some great photographs of flamenco legends (El Farruco, La Joselito, La Singla). Though they are in black and white, the photos alone make the purchase worth it. Filled with wonderful anecdotes, excellent translations of flamenco verses, and general insight into a fascinating and rich culture, this volume will is indispensible for any admirer of the Gypsies and their music.
