Origen e historia íntima del flamenco

Flamenco is art, passion, pain, feeling... and mystery. There have been many theories that, throughout history, have been formulated to explain its origin, its exceptionality and its Andalusian endemism. Some, purely nominalist and radically wrong, like the one that comes from Flanders; others, simply reductionist, such as that it is a gypsy art. Blas Infante launched a new and clairvoyant theory by associating its origin with the intimate pain of the defeated and humiliated Andalusians and Moors, fellah mengu, from which the expression of flamenco would come. Antonio Manuel, in his prodigious work Flamenco. Archeology of the Jondo, through sentiment and philology, advanced on the path opened by Infante. In this new work, Origin and Intimate History of Flamenco, José Ruiz Mata reveals spaces still unexplored by previous works, formulating his own thesis, in which he perfectly frames, historically and sociologically, the origin of flamenco art. An essential book so that we can understand our most intimate history, from which the essence of flamenco draws.
