Carmen Amaya

Author/s
Montse Madridejos and David Pérez Merinero
Co-edition with
Edicions Bellaterra

This is a book of photos, but not just that: it is also an exploration of the life of this Catalan bailaora, from her birth in the Somorrostro shantytown to her death in a village on the Costa Brava in 1963. It is a journey in pictures through her artistic beginnings in Barcelona and Madrid, her film appearances, her discography, her success in Argentina and throughout South and Central America, her boundless fame in New York and Hollywood, and her return to Spain and Europe as the most famous Romani flamenco dancer ever.
