DESCRIPTION:
Credible Scholarship Customer I was born into one of the flamenco dynasties listed in this book, on my father's side. He is the nephew of Diego Del Gastor. There is a border between Gitanos/Gypsies (Spanish Roma/Romanies) and the outsiders who study them and speak about them. Although Le Blon makes a few tiny errors, for an outsider this is a job extremely well done. His research is impeccable and well rounded. There are so many exploitative sources of misinformation regarding flamenco----this is a jewel in a haystack for anyone interested in accurate information regarding Gypsies and flamenco.

This new updated edition provides fuller explanations of some of the technical terms and an invaluable biographical dictionary of 200 of the foremost Gypsy flamenco artists from its origins to the present day, as well as a discography and videography.
