Anybody have a link for a dynamic tree/genealogy/ontology of cante styles that people can navigate, i.e. they can click a palo and find more information on via wiki or youtube.
There seems to be enough information on Wikipedia and Youtube to start a sort of knowledge base on cante styles, with this all linked together by a navegable tree structure as below, as if I didn't have enough material to study already with all the private lesson videos I have on my hard drive.
FWIW, I am a guitarist who needs to enrich my flamenco education through study of cante.
If anyone would like to help with such a project and has knowledge of web development, let's get in touch please.

RE: Tree / Ontology of Cante (in reply to flamencofilia)
At http://www.flamencopolis.com/ there is a more exhaustive attempt to form a structure and accompanying examples. I will spend some time studying here and see what can I contribute to the work already done on that site.

Thanks for the link, looks very cool. But for some weird reason, when I click on a palo lots of sound files play at the same time - perhaps on a different machine...
