Description

This episode is extraordinary because of the importance of its protagonist in the history of flamenco: Don Francisco Amate. An amateur flamenco singer who, as fate would have it, recorded some non-commercial wax cylinders in Los Angeles (USA) at the beginning of the 20th century. These recordings are one of the few samples of how flamenco was sung before commercial recordings appeared.
