Music has always been important to all Spanish-speaking peoples. Under Franco's severe repressions, music was often the one form of public expression into which every restricted emotion could be poured. Once democracy was brought back to Spain, regional movements surged, taking their music with them. In this dancing, darting book, Graves traces the development and fusion of a host of styles, Spanish and imported -- flamenco, rock, jota, rumba, blues, salsa, punk. He is a musician himself, and his own musical escapades give the book its very individual architecture. A host of musical stars -- Jimi Hendrix, Kevin Ayers, Bob Geldof, Sinead O'Connor, Eurovision contestants, summer-anthem songwriters -- tarried in Majorca and provide the soundtrack to this rhythmic, irresistible tour around a magical island and its magical culture.
