Synopsis

This book is not only about cantes de ida y vuelta, those songs of obvious Hispanic American origin that, after being suitably flamencoised, ended up being integrated into the jondo repertoire. It is about putting the history of flamenco into question and placing it in an Atlantic perspective. The task has not been easy, the subject is delicate to approach with the rigour expected of a well-documented study. To carry it out it has been necessary to challenge a good part of the more or less accepted dogmas around the processes that gave rise to flamenco.

Because of the ethnocentrism that we Westerners suffer from, even in the 21st century, we still have an important subject pending regarding historical science: that the study of Europe and European things take into account the American horizon among its main sources of cultural wealth. If the American provinces of the old continent, Seville and Cadiz, not only forged flamenco but also played a leading role in the Atlantic enterprise, the musical genre that concerns us must then be much more American than flamencology has traditionally wanted to recognize. And this is what this book is about.
