Los principios del cante andaluz es una obra apasionada y profundamente documentada que rastrea los orígenes y el desarrollo del flamenco desde mediados del siglo XVIII hasta comienzos del siglo XX. A traves de una combinacion de investigacion historica, cronicas, anecdotas y analisis antropologicos, el autor desmonta mitos, reivindica el papel del pueblo andaluz gitanos y payos por igual y resitua al cante en su contexto social, artistico y humano.El libro explora los cantes festeros y jondos, la evolucion de los palos flamencos, la irrupcion de la guitarra como instrumento acompañante y el surgimiento de los cafes cantantes. Figuras clave como Silverio Franconetti y Antonio Chacon son retratadas en profundidad, junto a un amplio repertorio de artistas, guitarristas y bailaores que dieron forma a este arte unico.Una obra indispensable para los amantes del flamenco, la historia cultural andaluza y la musica popular española, que ofrece una vision critica y matizada sobre el nacimiento del flamenco, lejos del folclorismo y de las simplificaciones habituales.

Este es un libro sobre freaks y para freaks pergeñado por un freak mayúsculo. En su última locura, Luke Haines traza una historia secreta y subterránea del rock a partir de sus más eminentes tarados. Con un humor desquiciante y acidisimo y una lucidez prodigiosa, el otrora lider de The Auteurs y Black Box Recorder entre otras muchas encarnaciones ha escrito un manifiesto para enmarcar y probablemente uno de los volumenes mas divertidos de la literatura musical. Por estas paginas reptan bichos raros de la talla de Gene Vincent, los Shadows, la Incredible String Band, Jim Morrison, T. Rex, Gary Glitter, Lou Reed, Morrissey, The Fall, los Go-Betweens, las chicas Manson y un hatajo de villanos de lucha libre ataviados con leotardos, amen de otras criaturas espeluznantes. "Freaks Out!" es una reivindicacion maravillosa de la otredad y la anomalia que sin duda alguna es lectura no apta para la gente normal.
