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 devoted to seguirillas and martinetes. "The seguirilla is considered one of the exponents of the deep essence of flamenco. Ever since its birth, it has been a dramatic, strong, sombre and devastating style. Its dance is also deep, sombre, severe and ceremonial, and does not allow any opportunity to embellish one's performance. It is performed with an unhurried meter, with slow sinuous movements, blended with others that are quite energetic".
Cristina Hoyos.
