¡Olé! Flamenco
Review
By Latina Lista
The world of flamenco performance is beautifully depicted in this illustrative photo essay . . . Ancona manages to convey a true love of the ancient and international music and dance of flamenco.? . . . The book manages to classify, explain, illustrate and thus transmit, the true essence of flamenco; a culturally-rich and living art form that is now celebrated and practiced world-wide. . . . The author’s writing style is full of flavor and ardor for this dramatic and mesmerizing art form. The colorful photographs allow the reader to feel the “compas” or rhythm of the clapping, guitar playing, and singing portrayed in each and every single shot. . . . A vibrant work of art from an award-winning author and photographer! Readers will surely want to start dancing and shouting ¡OLÉ! —Latina Lista
