"Strings of Spain" is a story of the development of the unique musical culture of Spain through the centuries. It ranges from the ethnic ways of the percussive beat in tribes to nowadays cross-genre beats that compete with Spain's cultural rhythms. Through tracking reforms under different rulers and influences, the book reveals how history defined different regional genres. From it, we learn not only instruments, genres and techniques which appeared at certain periods, but also how the music interlinked into each facet of culture and religion. The book is a tribute to so-called eternal folk idioms, however, also an analysis of how globalization and modernity have affected the production of music in Spain. Nevertheless, the essential spirit of the nation sings from page one to the end of the book. If absolutely anyone interested in Spanish culture or the history of music has the chance to read this massive work, she or he is sure to be enthralled.
