Review: "El baile Flamenco". Book.
There are few texts about flamenco dance, and the books that have been published so far on the subject concentrate on the biography of artists or on some of the dancing techniques. "El baile flamenco", written by Angel Alvarez Caballero, fills in the vacant spot that had been present in flamenco bibliography. This book covers the entire flamenco dance history in its 410 pages,starting out with the origin of this dance and up to the beginning of the 1990s.
