Queen of the Gypsies

The Songs and Rhythms of Carmen Amaya

by Paco Sevilla

Two 90-minute audio cassettes include the following recordings by Carmen Amaya:
QUEEN OF THE GYPSIES—One of the all-time greatest flamenco recordings. The only album that brings the listener the full excitement of Carmen's dance. Sabicas is also at his best.
FLAMENCO—A continuation of the above, with more focus on singing and the guitar of Sabicas. Carmen
's versions of colombianas and garrotin became models for the future.
FURIA! AMAYA—The last recording by Carmen Amaya, with the guitar of Juan Maya "Marote". Only a few years before her death, Carmen could still deliver in such dances as bulerías, romeras, and la caña.
FLAMENCAN SONGS AND DANCES—The original recordings made by Carmen and her family when they first arrived in New York in 1941. Carmen in her youth, with the very gypsy guitars of her father (El Chino) and brother (Paco Amaya).
CARMEN AMAYA—Some examples of Carmen
's very early cante (zambra, fandangos por soleá and bulerías) made before she left Spain.
