An expert explains and analyzes the beloved art form An iconic
symbol of Spain, flamenco has become a global phenomenon. Peter
Manuel offers English-language readers a rare portrait of the
music’s history, styles, and cultural impact. Beginning with
flamenco’s Moorish and Roma influences, Manuel follows the
music’s evolution through its consolidation in the mid-1800s and
on to the vibrant contemporary scene. An investigation of
flamenco’s major song-types looks at rhythm and compás, guitar
technique, and many other aspects of the music while Manuel’s
description and analysis of the repertoire range from soleares and
bulerÃas to tangos. His overview of contemporary flamenco culture
provides insight into issues that surround the music, including
globalization, gender dynamics, notions of ownership, and the
ongoing debates on purity versus innovation and the relative roles
played by Gitanos and non-Gitanos. Multifaceted and entertaining,
Flamenco Music is an in-depth study of the indelible art form that
inspires enthusiasts and practitioners around the world.
