THE ESSENCE OF FLAMENCO IS HIS MUSIC

The book is composed of nine chapters, accompanied by practical exercises and images that will turn the reader into a learner and a flamenco enthusiastic, providing the theoretical basis and practical elements for an understanding that combines reason and emotion.
Flamenco is the synthesis of a process of gestation that began in the first third of the 19th century and that continues to increase its entire range of artistic variables, whether in guitar playing, dancing, singing or percussion, up to the present day.
The musical elements from which flamenco begins are all the musical heritage that existed in Spain in the nineteenth century.
Flamenco as a universal art, which it already is, is subject to all the transcultural hybridization that is taking place with cultural globalization, and that places us in the space of the 21st century. But also in its gestation phase, it was shaped by all the influences in which artists are forced to immerse themselves during the creative processes.
