An overview of the present situation and the recent past of flamenco. From the simple fandangos de Lucena and verdiales, performed by Fosforito, to the complexity of the cartagenera of Luis de Córdoba. From the basic tango to the rumba, which was taken to its peak in terms of popularity by Camarón and Paco de Lucía, and modernised by Duquende. From the classical soleá by El Lebrijano to Manolo Sanlúcar’s complexity. From the romera with a chorus sung by Carmen Linares to the singing in a bulería style by Marina Heredia. Without leaving aside those two great masters from the twentieth century: the tragic solemnity in a seguriya style of Antonio Mairena and the gutsy freedom of Manolo Caracol. There is also a constant aspect of flamenco: the cross-breeding of a living art form, represented by Tomatito and his performance of a theme by the Turkish musician Erkan Ogur.
