At the end of the 19th century, Antonio Machado y Álvarez, known as "Demófilo," left us one of the first descriptions of the process of shaping flamenco and compiled hundreds of coplas that were used in the flamenco songs of his time. In this episode, we review Demófilo's contribution, which was not always well understood by flamenco scholars, and we can listen to music from his time that contains some of the coplas he compiled.
