An indispensable collection to learn, get to know and enjoy flamenco guitar playing, singing and dancing. A didactic description of the different palos (forms), the off-beat, palm clapping, measure, types of accompaniment, the speed of every dance... It is ideal for academies and for anyone who wants to study flamenco in their own house. It has 20 didactic volumes: 11 are normal and 9 are double; all of them are introduced by the bailaora (flamenco dancer) Cristina Hoyos.
This volume is devoted to colombianas, a palo that "some attribute to Latin American folklore, within the so-called 'cantes de ida y vuelta', and some to Marchena, who created this style with other musical forms like the rumba as a starting point. It tends to be a dance for women, happy and sensual, with multiple spins and arm movements that are executed with grace and self-belief".
Cristina Hoyos.
