Over the course of centuries, Andalusian Gypsies developed cante jondo, or deep song, an art that grew out of the experience of exile and marginalization. The striking imagery and emotionalpurity of cante lyrics were inspiration for Federico Garcia Lorca and generations of Spanish poets. Like American blues, cante is a brilliant cultural legacy long kept alive and aflame by unlettered geniuses. Although flamenco music enjoys wide popularity today, the words of the songs are often lost in the passion of the performance or because they are sung in dialect. This volume brings togethera bilingual sampling of the lyrics and brief commentaries by notable flamenco aficionados.This book includes translations of original Deep Song, accompanied by drawings and photographs, excerpts from letters, descriptions of first-hand experiences at spontaneous performances, and commentaries on gypsy cante by noted poets, musicians and philosophers.
