Flamenco

El flamenco es un estilo de música y danza propio de Andalucía, Extremadura y Murcia. Sus principales facetas son el cante, el toque y el baile, contando también con sus propias tradiciones y normas. Tal y como lo conocemos hoy en día data del siglo XVIII, y existe controversia sobre su origen, ya que aunque existen distintas opiniones y vertientes ninguna de ellas puede ser comprobada de forma histórica.

Introduce Yourself

Introduce Yourself is Faith No More's second album, released in 1987. Due to the limited availability of the first album, We Care a Lot (until it was re-released on CD years later), many, including the band, once considered this Faith No More's true debut album. This album features better mixing than its predecessor, which is most evident on this album's version of the song "We Care a Lot," which also features updated, more topical, lyrics. It was the last album Chuck Mosley appeared on with the band.

The last chapters of the book describe his political ascension, and his belief…
