i read first "song of the outcast" by robin totton - an exelant book about the rhythms of flamenco, songs, and this wonderful culture.
the second one was a nice novel - the flamenco academy by sara bird.

Oops! I thought that you meant books to learn the music. I'll check with my teacher, who has some pretty old books.

I really liked The Flamenco Academy. Ive read that, and Juan Martin's Arte de Flamenco books on playing. So- I have not read very much.

do you recomend the book - the art of the flamenco? can you describe a little about the book?

[Chiste de Gales]

Its a music book with lots of lessons and tablature. Its pretty much the #1
student book for guitar. It is published in 2 parts, so you'll need to buy 2
books to get everything.

ohh, i'm not looking for books about how play the guitar but about the flamenco culture. i heard about the book "duende". is it familiar to you?

I checked my "flamenco library" today,

-Duende- from Jason Webster in the english language is very nice, it is quite a new book.

-Duende- from Ivo Hermans is very nice too, as far as I know only in Duch.
The writer is from belgium.

-An rather old book 1965 is -The flamencos of cadiz bay- from Gerald Howson.

-The art of flamenco- from Don Pohren is even older, 1962 but it is now in a new print, a lot info on the forms etc.

- The flamenco guitar- from David George 1966 is about the same as the art of flamenco from Pohren, only more specific for guitar

The last two books are more for info about flamenco and his forms and about the flamenco guitar, very beautiful black and white pictures.

The top three books are more a search for flamenco from the writer.
