How do Flamencos perceive their time, their art, the World surrounding them? Wherefrom comes their captivation, their insecurity, their aptitude to fascinate the audience in an instant? Why have Lorca, Picasso or Barceló all fallen in love with them? Do they feel understood, valued? In this book the artists take word and explain Flamenco art from inside.
In the first part of the book, flamenco singers, dancers and guitarists draw, in monologues and dialogs, their portraits and self-portraits. The second part of the book proposes a chronology of the pre Flamencos, Flamencos and anti Flamencos from Tartessos until Camarón.
Humor and depth, success and exile, stories and unforgettable
