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.
“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 – 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 –
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 – part
ecstasy, part melancholy – that is the essence of Spain’s signature
art form: flamenco.
Duende is Webster’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 it’s here that he has his first taste of
the gritty world of flamenco’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.

Solos Flamenco Guitar with Juan Martin Book, CD, and DVD
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 Martín and
brief scenes of Andalucia today, which help to place this profoundly exciting
and deeply felt music in the landscape of its origins. Juan Martín 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.
