In 1922, together with several other friends, Manuel de Falla organised the first 'Deep Song' festival. Through his involvement in the festival, aimed at saving and demonstrating the quality of Flamenco, Lorca came to the conclusion that this form of music is the best of Andalisian culture. The experience left its mark on his literary style. In these two works, the author displays an 'Andalusian Altarpiece of Andalucismo', as his Ballad describes it.

This audiobook also allows the listener to enjoy two of the most important works in Spanish literature and, at the same time, one of the cultural events which finally rehabilitated Flamenco and the Gypsy music of Andalusian folklore in general among Spain's intellectual elite.
