This book explores the history and essence of Flamenco Jazz — one of the richest and most beautiful musical fusions experienced in recent decades. It presents a powerful crossroads between two uniquely characteristic and culturally emblematic traditions: those of Spain and the United States.

Written in Spanish by Carlos Aguilar and Anita Haas, the work is structured in three parts. The first part examines the anthropological and socio-cultural foundations, exploring both the connections and the differences between the two ethnic groups from which these musical traditions emerge: Afro-Americans in the U.S. and Roma (Gypsies) in Spain—two roots that eventually come to understand and merge with each other. The second part delves into the aesthetic, formal, and conceptual attributes of Flamenco Jazz. The third part details the true origins and development of the genre—from its pioneering examples to its current golden age—documenting both international influences and key Spanish figures, such as Pedro Iturralde, the Paco de Lucía Sextet, Jorge Pardo, Ketama, Chano Domínguez, Jerry González, Flamenco Jazz Company, Enriquito, and many others.

The book is enriched with thematic modules highlighting various elements (cities, musicians, producers, cultural phenomena), a comprehensive discography including all contributors to the main albums, a bibliography, an anthology of concert posters (Spanish and international, vintage and modern), and a name index.

All of this comes in a luxury edition, lavishly illustrated with nearly 700 color and black-and-white images, most of them previously unpublished, many provided by renowned photographers.
