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 23 didactic volumes: 13 are normal and 10 are double; all of them are introduced by the bailaora (flamenco dancer) Cristina Hoyos.
This volume is dedicated to farrucas, "a style which has Galician origins with clear influences from Cádiz. The dancing is performed in a sober and manly manner, with an air that is somewhat reminiscent of the soleá, whose outstanding features are the double-quick off-beat stepping and strong heel-stepping that is distinctive of men, accompanied by cadenced movements and a serious, elegant attitude. Women also perform it".
