The film presents thirteen rhythms of flamenco, each with song, guitar, and dance: the up-tempo bularĂas, a brooding farruca, an anguished martinete, and a satiric fandango de huelva. There are tangos, a taranta, alegrĂas, siguiriyas, soleás, a guajira of patrician women, a petenera about a sentence to death, villancicos, and a final rumba.
