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 the granaína and media granaína. This palo (flamenco form) "belongs to the group of the Levant (east coast) cantes. Its origins probably lie in the aflamencamiento (lit. flamencoisation; that is, changes that are undergone as a result of the influence of flamenco) of one style of popular fandango from Granada, even though some consider it to be a relative of the malagueña, and give Antonio Chacón credit for its invention. As a style for dancing to, it is related to the rondeña".
