1954: The First Anthology of Flamenco
This first anthology was a collection of recordings of the basic flamenco forms of flamenco. This intention was more difficult than might appear at first sight due to the popularity of Opera Flamenco, and its most important representative: Pepe Marchena. A previous attempt had been made to preserve the old traditional otherwise known as the pure, unadulterated forms. This attempt was made by Manuel de Falla and Federico García Lorca in their ‘concurso de cante flamenco’ in 1922. However, this competition had little effect on the growing popularity of Opera Flamenco which obliterated any other interpretation that happened to be in its path.
Part 3d: Camarón
The inclusion of Camarón immediately after the sections on duende and voice types in flamenco is because of the revolutionary impact that he had on the flamenco world. Stuffy, secretive and aloof might be words used to describe some of the driest and most earnest flamencos before Camarón. Camarón unwittingly gave flamenco a universal appeal and promoted him to a cult figure in Spanish popular culture. Read More
Part 3c Duende
Duende
The flamenco singer, Manuel Torre (1909-1933), a man who was completely illiterate was eulogized by Federico Garcia Lorca as having a greater and more important culture in the blood. Torre had his own theory on what is known as “duende”. He is reported to have said to a singer: “tu tienes vos, tu sabes los estilos, pero no triunfarás nunca, porque tú no tienes duende” (you have a good voice, you know the styles, but you will never reach the top, because you have no “duende”). The same man, Manuel Torre, is also reputed to have said:-
”In the “cante jondo”, the singer always has to look for “duende”, until he finds it in the blackness of the Faraohs” (Historia del cante flamenco, p.171).”

This site and its future
Some of you may have noticed that I have not been active over the last year or so here. That is not to say that the project is abandoned, but life (as well as literal and metaphorical family deaths) has got in the way of further development.
I have created a server using an old computer at home and will soon be transferring the site to my home server. I am doing this in an attempt to save money and learn more about the internet. Due to my technical inexperience, you may find that the site is down, but please be assured that I shall endeavour to solve any problems as soon as possible.
Thank you for you patience in these matters,
Miguel
