Synopsis

The 494-page El Afinador de Noticias contains press clippings related to flamenco, recovered and commented on by musicologist Faustino Núñez in his now defunct blog of the same name. It covers the period between 1610 and 1976, so the reader will find in it an authentic history of flamenco. It is accompanied by a CD with 21 illustrative historical audio clips.

This book contains more than three hundred entries related to the origins of flamenco that were published in the blog El Afinador de Noticias over a five-year period, tracked by Faustino Núñez between 2002 and 2015 in the newspaper archives of Cádiz and online. The entries have been arranged chronologically and in them the reader will find answers to many questions about the processes that gave rise to flamenco, clarifying important aspects of how, in the mid-nineteenth century, styles began to crystallize, also paying attention to who were the main protagonists of the miracle that gave rise to a unique musical genre in the world of music and dance.
