Spanish emigre guitarist Celedonio Romero gave his American debut
performance on a June evening in 1958. In the sixty years since,
the Romero Family-Celedonio, his wife Angelita, sons Celin, Pepe,
and Angel, as well as grandsons Celino and Lito-have become
preeminent in the world of Spanish flamenco and classical guitar in
the United States. Walter Aaron Clark's in-depth research and
unprecedented access to his subjects have produced the consummate
biography of the Romero family. Clark examines the full story of
their genius for making music, from their outsider's struggle to
gain respect for the Spanish guitar to the ins and outs of making a
living as musicians. As he shows, their concerts and recordings,
behind-the-scenes musical careers, and teaching have reshaped their
instrument's very history. At the same time, the Romeros have
organized festivals and encouraged leading composers to write works
for guitar as part of a tireless, lifelong effort to promote the
guitar and expand its repertoire. Entertaining and intimate, Los
Romeros opens up the personal world and unfettered artistry of one
family and its tremendous influence on American musical culture.
