In this lively album, the listener is transported to Andalusia in southern Spain, an area brimming with flamenco song and dance. The album primarily features songs in the traditional cuadro flamenco style, but also explores the stylized flamenco used in modern compositions. The recordings capture the ecstasy of the music, complete with the footsteps of dancers, cries from the audience, and percussive castanets and hand claps. The liner notes by Gilbert Chase, a respected scholar of American and Spanish music, provide a detailed explanation of flamenco music, as well as descriptions of each song.
