Flamenco Singing step by step – by 'Merenguito'

The
object of this anthology is to explain each type of flamenco song, as
well as the different variations that come from the different geographical
areas.

Each one of the styles will be carefully explained so that singers, guitarists,
percussionists and even those that are just beginning, are able to understand
their structures, words, intonation, rhythms, beats, forms, etc.

All the songs are explained in parts, “step by step”, and
at the end of the explanation they will be interpreted in their complete
form.

Furthermore, making the most of the facilities of the DVD, you also have
the possibility of lowering the volume of Merenguito’s voice so
that the singers can practise with the group. There is also the opportunity
of reducing the sound of the guitar, so that the guitarists can practise
the accompaniment of the song with Merenguito.

In other words, this is a perfect course both for singers and guitarists,
where you will be able to study and practise singing as well as accompanying
the song.

It also include a booklet with some historical information about all
explained flamenco styles, technical featuires and lyrics.
