Our book "Spanish Popular Songs", by Francisco José Rodríguez Marín, was recommended by the singer Rosalía in Babelia. And this is what he said:
"Morente turned to this book many times to select lyrics and construct songs. He, like many others, knew that flamenco is the music of the people and its lyrics a collective work of art. In Cantos popular españoles I discovered bars that any urban artist I would pay to have written it. It is a gem of a book. Couplets full of wit about falling in love, the suburbs, the matriarch, death... For me this book is like a bible of flamenco lyrics to turn to when you want to be inspired by something simple, direct and from the core. It only takes four verses to tell the story of a whole life."
We cannot tell you anything more, because we believe that everything has already been said there. TRA TRA!
