THIS MONTH'S SELECTION:

A Thousand and One Stories of Pericón de Cádiz collected and organized by José Luis Ortiz Nuevo (translated by John Moore)

Emblematic of his region, Pericón de Cádiz was a revered singer, party-goer, and the epitome of a witty Gaditano storyteller. Surely because of this reputation, José Luis Ortiz Nuevo lugged his tape recorder to Pericón’s Madrid apartment, and, plying his subject with whiskey, proceeded to collect what was to become a classic amongst flamencos.
