Synopsis

This is not a book only for flamencologists, but also for lovers of music, language and the way of understanding the life of the popular classes of the 18th century. In researching him for four years, the author has extracted the most significant quotes from the three thousand works, composed between 1750 and 1808, which are kept in the Municipal Library of Madrid. These are the tonadillas, hors d'oeuvres, sainetes, comedies, theater dances, and zarzuelas that were performed in the Madrid theaters of La Cruz and El Príncipe, passing, a good part of them, to other Spanish and Latin American theaters. Music parades through its pages. and majos and boleros dances that, in the author's opinion, laid the foundations of flamenco art that developed in the 19th century. The contents are arranged in seven chapters: characters, genres, dance, instruments, places, majesty and stonechat and jaleos, subdivided in turn into various sections to facilitate access to the desired information. This Guide comes to cover a gap in documentary information that exists about this crucial period, which will help to better understand the processes that gave rise to the styles of cante, toque and flamenco dances as we know them today.
