The Gypsies, professional musicians -- Spain and the Gypsies : a policy of forced settlement -- Gypsy-Andalusians : the "flamenco families" -- The obscure origins of flamenco art -- Two hundred Gitano flamenco artists.

Summary:

"Gypsies and Flamenco celebrates the passion of flamenco and pays its respects to hundreds of flamenco artists, many of whom can trace their roots back to a network of families so closely interwoven that in the end they constitute a single entity. A new section gives substantial biographical notes on 200 great gitano flamenco artists. This, together with an expanded glossary and lists of CDs and videos, makes Gypsies and Flamenco an indispensable resource for flamenco enthusiasts." --Book Jacket.
