Short encyclopedia of flamenco - Jose Maria Esteban

The flamenco dancing is son of how many cultures which have had by proper plot andalusian home and how many forms to understand the dancing here which have flourished and prospered. It's the fruit of many mixtures. An so impure heritage and beautiful.
