Duende
: A Journey Into the Heart of Flamenco
by Jason Webster
Book Description:
" The music started: two guitarists beating out more Alboreás.
The women took turns to dance in a frenzy, each trying to outdo the other.
â€Deep Song always sings in the night,†Lorca
had written. It was the credo of the flamenco: a rejection of the mundane,
the ordinary, the life of the everyday man, embracing, rather, an extreme
world †extreme passions, extreme feelings, the extremes of
life and death. And it was a way of life I wanted to believe in â€
its excitement, its danger, the affirmation it gave you that you were different,
and alive."
Destined for a sedate and predictable life in academia, Jason Webster was
derailed in his early twenties when his first love, an aloof Florentine
beauty, dumped him unceremoniously. Loveless and eager for adventure â€
and determined to fulfill a secret dream -- he left Oxford and headed for
Spain, the country that had long captivated his imagination, and set off
in search of duende, the intense and mysterious emotional state â€
part ecstasy, part melancholy †that is the essence of Spainâ€s
signature art form: flamenco.
Duende is Websterâ€s captivating memoir of the years he
spent in Spain pursuing his obsession. Studying flamenco guitar until his
fingers bleed, he becomes involved in a passionate yet doomed affair with
Lola, a flamenco dancer (and older woman) married to the gun-toting Vicente,
only to flee the coastal city of Alicante in fear for his life. He ends
up in Madrid, miserable and lovelorn, but itâ€s here that he
has his first taste of the gritty world of flamencoâ€s progenitors
†the Gypsies whose edgy lives and fervent commitment to the
art of flamenco vividly illustrate the path to duende. Before long he is
deeply immersed in a flamenco underworld that combines music and dance
with drugs and crime. After two years Webster moves on to Granada where,
bruised and battered, he reflects on his discovery of the emotional heart
of Spain.

by Juan Martin
Book Description: Designed as a comprehensive multimedia teaching
set, this book, CD, and DVD present 42 solos, progressively graded in 6
levels from absolute beginners to more advanced, to suit players of all
levels. It contains examples of eighteen different palos (rhythmic forms)
of flamenco, with a wealth of melodic falsetas and rhythms. The music for
all these is accurately written in notation and flamenco tab (cifra) in
the book, and is also recorded on the companion CD. The DVD video contains
over 57 minutes of solo music, and also includes introduction by Juan MartÃn
and brief scenes of Andalucia today, which help to place this profoundly
exciting and deeply felt music in the landscape of its origins. Juan MartÃn
has succeeded here is showing how even music which is simple and very easy
to start with can express the essential sound and emotion of flamenco,
to build step by step the skills necessary for the performance of concert
solos. Written in English and Spanish.
