SYNOPSIS

De Jerez y sus cantes offers a historical and encyclopedic perspective of the flamenco scene in one of the undoubted cradles of this art form in Andalusia. Its author invites us to knuckle down on the counter of the events that have shaped the Jerez school in a meticulous manner, fact by fact, name by name. After a detailed context, which explains the keys to the subsequent formation of the Jerez school of flamenco, he proposes a journey through the different stages of flamenco singing in the city, grouping its performers into generational groups with common characteristics. Links that, through a hierarchy in time, follow one another from the appearance of the first bearers of the quejío to the new musts represented in the last voices of the prolific Jerez school. All with a clear descriptive and didactic vocation and with the inclusion of some sound recommendations to listen to while reading. In short, the essential written account of a fundamental history of flamenco singing.
