Spain and Portugal for Visitors

Very thorough and orderly French site, in that language or Spanish.

Javier Limón is a phenomenon, a classically trained composer and producer who has paradoxically specialised in the more eclectic side of flamenco and fusions of it while reaching a much broader public. The link goes to the sparse website of his own, homely record label.

Splendid online magazine, in English and Spanish, with articles and reports for beginners and experts alike.

Online magazine / shop with well written articles mainly for beginners, both performers and spectators.

The Net source for flamenco information. Flamenco news, interviews, photo galleries, reviews, links, flamenco dance, flamenco guitar, flamenco festivals, online record purchases (with audio samples). Brilliant, no, enorme.

San Francisco-based website which has been promising that it is about to relaunch for years now. The Flamenco Glossary is recommendable.

As the name says, more enthusiasm than webmastering skill on this captivating site from a flamenco maniac who doesn't identify him (or her) self. Flamenco history, styles, artists, cantaores and cantaoras, guitarists and bailaores, dancers, plus flamenco in New York and in Madrid, flamenco recordings, links and more.

Brief but interesting account from All About Spain (it is curious how so many types of music had a Golden Age at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth century).

An online flamenco magazine from an Internet services company, with some excellent content in Spanish but not much in English.

Don't click this link, I include it for my own reference. It is a list of flamenco palos, plagiarized from the very respectable Diccionario Flamenco by Jose Blas Vega and Manuel Rios Ruiz, and these people have a bloody cheek to claim copyright over it.

From the Andalusian Tourist Board, a fabulous online guide covering the history of flamenco, its styles and performers, as well as places to see and hear it in Andalusia, accessible to flamenco beginners but helpful for the more knowledgeable, with samples covering not just the different palos, styles, but illustrating the local variations found. Recommendable is not a big enough word - if you have the slightest interest in flamenco, visit this site now. Still here?
