The accompanying book provides authentic transcriptions by Max Herzog in close collaboration with José Manuel León – in both standard music notation and tablature.

León is considered to be the flamenco guitarist continuing the revolution driven by Paco de Lucía, also from Algeciras. His enormous creativity, impeccable technique and his strong personal interpretation of flamenco music allow him to mark future directions of flamenco guitar playing. José has collaborated with great flamenco artists such as Niña Pastori, Alejandro Sánz, Gerardo Núñez, Cármen Linares, Ginesa Ortega, Joaquín Grilo and many more. In 2006 José released his first album ‘Sirimusa’ awarded “Best Flamenco Artist” by the National Critics Flamenco Award.
