Provides a history of flamenco by examining its myths, vocabulary, and traditions, and introduces dancers, guitarists, and singers association with this dance
A nice introduction to the history and origins of flamenco. It is concise and has good maps, and a glossary. It also has a chapter describing some of the more important flamenco artists. It got my interest up again for the Golden Age of Spain. It is a little dated, but on this topic, it doesn't matter.
