An indispensable collection to learn, get to know and enjoy flamenco guitar playing, singing and dancing. A didactic description of the different palos (forms), the off-beat, palm clapping, measure, types of accompaniment, the speed of every dance... It is ideal for academies and for anyone who wants to study flamenco in their own house. It has 23 didactic volumes: 13 are normal and 10 are double; all of them are introduced by the bailaora (flamenco dancer) Cristina Hoyos.
This volume is devoted to caracoles, a style that belongs "to the group of the cantiñas which, musically speaking, is a palo (form) that is close to the alegrías, whose singing includes a series of strophes with verses that have varying length. Within elegance, it allows a certain propensityfor Barroque, arabesque and ornamental turns, undulating movements that run in agreement with the slight punteado (a kind of percussion using the feet) and rhythmic melody of the music". Cristina Hoyos.
