Flamenco... All you wanted to know. Book

Description

Uniquement disponible en anglais.

This landmark historical text delivers the goods promised in its title.

Includes Spanish lyrics for dozens of flamenco songs along with English translations and interpretive notes, a glossary of flamenco terminology, plus a recommended bibliography and discography are also provided. Informal in its demeanor, this carefully researched, insightful book will help you develop a deeper appreciation for the flamboyant art of flamenco.
