This material provides ways in to Flamenco from a variety of angles: musically (in terms of the features of each palo or style), historically and socially (through the unwritten history of the gypsy book) and artistically (through the past greats of flamenco).

Persecution and marginalisation have left a trace of rebellion in the lyrics. During the 1930s fandangos were dedicated to Captain Jaca Fermín Galán and the "Republican bands".
