Lorca y el flamenco

This book covers the relationship between Lorca and flamenco from a critical, documented and deeply sensitive perspective. Granada, 1922. Manuel de Falla. The Cante Jondo Competition. The defense of what is popular against commercial trivialization. The birth of the duende as an aesthetic myth. The tension between tradition and modernity. Gypsyness, class, gender, voice, rhythm, silence. Everything is intertwined in these pages to show how the poet from Fuente Vaqueros turned flamenco into a living word, a universal symbol and the emotional heritage of several generations. But Lorca and flamenco is not just a book about the past. It also asks about the present: what we do today with the duende, how a tradition is preserved without turning it into a tourist postcard, what responsibility we have when talking about an art born of memory, marginality and resistance. With rigor, narrative pulse and a clear informative vocation, Antonio Rodríguez Jiménez proposes an exciting reading of Lorca as a cultural mediator: the man who did not domesticate flamenco, but rather knew how to listen to its wound, its tremor and its mystery.
