El toque flamenco

Since it was first published in 1975, Mystery Train has cemented itself in the canon of great rock literature, offering one of the most astute, fascinating visions of the genre. Greil Marcus traces the emotional landscape and zeitgeist of an entire continent through the lens of the music of six of the most influential bands and musicians: from the pioneering Harmonica Frank to the tortured universe of blues singer Robert Johnson; from The Band and their dream to create a community grounded in rootlessness to the chaotic friction of Sly and the Family Stone; and from Randy Newman’s struggle...

Twenty-six songs illustrate the growth and diversity of tango canción, from its Argentine roots to its dissemination throughout Europe and into the Middle East and beyond. These songs are represented both in print - with melody lines, chord boxes and lyrics in their original language and in English - and through classic recordings by the original artists on the accompanying CD. Tango Voices is not only the perfect introduction to one of World Music's most expressive and seductive genres, but also a valuable resource for all existing tango lovers.

Esta obra parte de un examen de la musica occidental de los ultimos 400 anos, asi como de la musica de los paises africanos y asiaticos, para hacernos ver como la naturaleza de una sociedad se puede deducir a partir de su musica y como las diferentes pautas y modelos musicales no solo pueden reflejar los cambios que se dan en la sociedad, sino incluso influir sobre ellos.

Este libro se ha transformado, con el paso el tiempo, en un clásico de la bibliografía tanguera. De sus páginas surgen, con la sintética vividez de los pantallazos cinematográficos, las biografías de sesenta y cinco tangos memorables. Esta nueva edición, corregida y anotada por Pedro Ochoa, añade, además, valiosas ilustraciones y fotografías de la época.
