From its birth in the hands of the guitarrero to its ultimate celebration in the hands of the Flamenco Guitarist
Scarce and important monograph covering all aspects of the flamenco guitar, including fabulous images, “a rogues gallery” of famous guitarists of the 20th c.
There is a good deal of interesting information on the Gypsies, their history and their music, much of it narrated in apparently verbatim transcriptions of conversations. Mr George is a gifted writer, and his accounts are full of life and atmosphere. Likewise, there is much about the history and construction of the flamenco guitar (although this is not a manual).
But the centrepieces, if you will, of this book are two interviews: with the luthier Manuel Reyes — one of the truly great constructors of guitars — and with the now-legendary guitarist Diego del Gastor. I found them fascinating, even though I’ve already read a great deal about both men. Particularly entertaining are Diego’s views on the hoards of students arriving in Morón every year for lessons.
