This DVD is designed to be an essential tool to learn about Flamenco beats. It includes an analysis of Flamenco rhythms (palos) flamencos, including palmas (handclapping percussion); a section dedicated to the cajón with sounds, exercises and guides to play bulerias, tangos, tanguillos and rumba. There is also a section to the tinaja (clay pot), with exercises, sounds and rhythms.

All exercises use a meter (metronome) and are performed with guitar and vocals (cante). At the end there is a performance by Carles Benavent, Jorge Pardo, Vicky Romero and Nan Mercader.
