Amazing website: Flamencopolis 

Hi, I wanted to share this website I just discovered with you:

www.flamencopolis.com

It's run by Faustino Núñez, a flamencologist who teaches at the conservatory of Córdoba and gives lectures about flamenco all over the world (he was also at the Dutch Flamenco Bienal a couple of months ago, and I just saw him in Jerez). He's a very good teacher who plays and sings and tells great flamenco anecdotes.
Anyway, this site lists all the palos with their history, musical background, listening examples, etc. Plus it discusses tonality, forms, letras, geography, terminology, etc.

So.. check it out!

Is it just me, or are the English translations not the greatest?

This is really interesting site , I came across something similar a while ago but this is much more detailed,,,,,I bookmarked it for future research and reference ..........
As for translation I prefer it in Spanish ,,,,,,,but if anyone had a doubt about something .............

Muchas gracias Annemarie, para mostrando este site, es realmente interesante. nunca sabía nada de Faustino Núñez, aunque viviera en Córdoba por años y estuviera en el Conservatorio durante algún tiempo .....

My favourite:

El jaleo lo encontramos desde principios del XIX -> The mess we find from the early nineteenth century.
