The decision to publish the transcription of The World of the Flamenco Guitar and its Forms is the decision to disseminate a major work . Now, all those who wish to learn about and explore this gem of Spanish music that has laid unnoticed for too long are able to do so. Manolo Sanlúcar's album trilogy is not only apt for flamenco or Spanish musicians but for guitarists worldwide since it constitutes the greatest of the many master classes this maestro has given in his long career.

A new set of score books from the CD "Algo que decir" de José Jiménez "El Viejín" has been released.

The transcription of José Jiménez El Viejín's album "Algo que decir" is the first work published by the founder of the sophisticated and mysterious "Caño Roto" style of guitar. This musically and technically complex style is unique to the gypsy neighborhood Caño Roto in Madrid, where the highest concentration of flamenco guitarists in the world can be found.
