Flamenco

Flamenco is one of the most famous art forms in Spanish culture. However, the stereotypical image of Spain as a country of bullfighting, sunshine, and "¡ole!" has obscured its true essence. In FLAMENCO, the journalist Clara de la Flor takes a look at the art form from its origins to the most modern experimentation. She also provides some keys to understanding the complexity of this music and discovering its styles or "palos." To finish off, it includes a selection of artists and songs that every flamenco-lover should know.
