At the end of the 14th
century, everything becomes clearer. The invention by Thomas
Edison of the phonograph has a great impact on flamenco.
With the intention of internationally promoting the machine,
native music from many parts of the world is then recorded,
amongst which, flamenco is included. The first recordings
were made in Cadiz and Seville, both in quality and quantity.
The daily "El Noticiero Sevillano" tells about
the first recording dated the 22nd of November 1895. Juan
Breva was amongst the first singers (cantaores) to leave
a testimony of his cante in wax cylinders. Antonio
Chacón, Cagancho, Niño de Cabra, Paca
Aguilera, Revuelta, Paco el de Montilla or El Mochuelo also
recorded this way.
