Steelhead -> New Book: "Flamenco Music: History, Forms, Culture" (Oct. 28 2023 14:54:49)
|
Estimated (sic) flamencologists,
I am pleased to announce the publication of my book, “Flamenco Music: History, Forms, Culture” (written under my pseudonym, Peter Manuel; my real name is of course Steelhead). Much of the contents will be familiar to the erudite members of this forum, though I have my own way of presenting and interpreting things (and I’m sure anyone here who reads it will find things to object to). Though I try to write in a readable rather than pedantic style, the book aims to be thorough and rigorously scholarly rather than breezy and chatty, and there are plenty of transcriptions and close analyses of forms.
Though not a regular contributor to this forum, I do follow it, and over the years I have learned much from the posts of Ricardo and the other extremely knowledgeable contributors. (In surveying the literature and discourse on flamenco, I mention this forum as a site for much valuable and learned discussion.
I notice that every year or two some newbie on this forum asks if there is any good survey book on flamenco, and the answers are basically along the lines of, “well, not really.” Hopefully my book can address this lacuna satisfactorily.
Paper copy is, I believe, $35, minus 30% using discount code (= ca. $24.50).
