The cultura jonda (“deep culture”) comes alive in his cante (flamenco singing). At the peak of his maturity as an artist, Menese has become the most authentic symbol of a decisive period in the history of flamenco art, one that began in the 1950’s and 60’s and was known as the flamenco renaissance. José Menese played a crucial role in this renaissance and he has been loyal to his lineage long enough that now, thirty years later, he has again become a point of reference for the new flamenco renaissance that fans of the purest cante (flamenco singing) are currently demanding. José Menese. He was born and raised in 1942 in La Puebla de Cazalla (Seville), where, from an early age, he first began to discover his love of cante (flamenco singing). In 1959, having sung at La Puebla and at El Café Central, Menese debuted at the Carretria de Osuna movie theater alongside Antonio Mairena himself. Menese moved to Madrid in the early 60’s, under the patronage of Francisco Moreno Beltrán (La Puebla’s lyricist).

It argues that, in the context of the flamenco studio, women dancers renegotiate authenticity and hybridity against the backdrop of an embodied “exot- ic” passion.

  • Towards an Ethnomusicology of Contemporary Flamenco Guitar
    Rethinking Tradition: Towards an Ethnomusicology of Contemporary Flamenco Guitar NAME: Francisco Javier Bethencourt Llobet FULL TITLE AND SUBJECT Doctor of Philosophy. Doctorate in Music. OF DEGREE PROGRAMME: School of Arts and Cultures. SCHOOL: Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Newcastle University. SUPERVISOR: Dr. Nanette De Jong / Dr. Ian Biddle WORD COUNT: 82.794 FIRST SUBMISSION (VIVA): March 2011 FINAL SUBMISSION (TWO HARD COPIES): November 2011 Abstract: This thesis consists of four chapters, an introduction and a conclusion. It asks the question as to how contemporary guitarists have negotiated the relationship between tradition and modernity. In particular, the thesis uses primary fieldwork materials to question some of the assumptions made in more ‘literary’ approaches to flamenco of so-called flamencología . In particular, the thesis critiques attitudes to so-called flamenco authenticity in that tradition by bringing the voices of contemporary guitarists to bear on questions of belonging, home, and displacement. The conclusion, drawing on the author’s own experiences of playing and teaching flamenco in the North East of England, examines some of the ways in which flamenco can generate new and lasting communities of affiliation to the flamenco tradition and aesthetic.

A great deal of emphasis is placed on purity and its loss, relating nuevo flamenco with the whole history of flamenco and its discourses, as well as tracing its relationship to other musical genres, mainly jazz. While centred on the process of fusion and crossover it also explores through music the characteristics and implications that nuevo flamenco and its discourses have impinged on related issues as Gypsy identity and cultural authenticity.

  • Camarón at the Centre of New Flamenco
    CAMARÓN AT THE CENTRE OF NEW FLAMENCO RICARDO PACHÓN1 The man who produced the great works of Camarón de la Isla, Pata Negra and Veneno explains, in a fascinating and surprisingly detailed manner, how what is now known as “New Flamenco” emerged around these figures. Everything was started, of course, in the United States by a gypsy named Agustín Castellón, also known as “Sabicas”. The result was two albums recorded in 1967 with guitar player Joe Beck under the title Rock Encounter. If traditional flamenco had to explode and become out of control, it chose the best ally in those days: rock & roll. California’s revolution landed in Andalusia through three American military bases: Morón, Rota and San Pablo. It apparently was an intentional landing in flamenco territory that settled in towns with an important gypsy population between Seville and Cadiz: Alcalá, Lebrija, Morón, Utrera, Jerez, Arcos, the Puertos… The 1960’s. With the Americans came recordings of freedom and the West Coast psychedelic revolution. Seville suddenly became a new and strange city within the context of National-Catholicism. A city filled with long-haired boys who caused passers-by to turn their heads. A city where adults could buy “laughing cigarettes” in candy kiosks, and where legionnaires coming from Ceuta and Melilla after completing their service could legally bring a suitcase full of weed. That is why the second wild era of flamenco was born here, thanks again to another portentous gypsy, Manuel Molina, and the city’s most underground band, Smash. It was only 1970 when we witnessed an attempt to blend rock and flamenco.

  • From La Leyenda Del Tiempo to La Leyenda Del Espacio: Three Decades of Rock and Flamenco Hybridisation in Andalusian Music
    From La leyenda del tiempo to La leyenda del espacio: Three Decades of Rock and Flamenco Hybridisation in Andalusian Music FERNANDO BARRERA RAMÍREZ Universidad de Granada Abstract This paper aims to analyse and consider the hybridisations of popular music genres emerged in Andalusia, Spain, during the last thirty-five years. Fusions between urban music such as rock, pop and indie, and the folk music typical from the south of Spain: flamenco. For these purposes, two of the most important albums of this trend have been analysed, La leyenda del tiempo by the flamenco singer José Monge, also known as “Camarón” and La leyenda del espacio by the Spanish indie band from the city of Granada Los Planetas: origin and evolution of formal, aesthetic, social and commercial parameters of these albums. Keywords: rock gitano (Gypsy rock); rock andaluz (Andalusian rock); indie. he sub-genres rock gitano and rock andaluz first appeared in Andalusia (Spain) during the 1960s and 1970s. Both are the result from the hybridisation of rock and the most popular music of T Spain’s southern region: flamenco. These two musical genres, however, sound completely different. We can take note of this contrast by comparing a song from the band Veneno (Veneno 1977), formed by the Amador Gypsy brothers, and another from the band Medina (Azahara Medina Azahara 1979), which is a clear example of rock andaluz sound. As Ricardo Pachón stated in the documentary Dame Veneno, rock flamenco or rock gitano emerged under the influence of works such as Rock encounter from Sabicas and Joe Beck (Barbadillo 2009).

A growing body of 16 literature has emerged which addresses various aspects of these processes 17 in relation to diverse music cultures (e.g., Talbot 2000, Vaidhyanathan 2001, 18 Frith 1993). In the realm of Western art music, scholarly attention has fo- 19 cused in particular on the celebration, especially from the Romantic period 20 on, of the composer as an individual genius, and on the special importance 21 of “the work,” as an original, reproducible, structurally unified, aesthetically 22 unique, and privately owned entity (Goehr 1992). Concepts of authorship 23 can be particularly problematic in the case of oral traditions that evolve into 24 or become absorbed into commercial popular musics, entailing new concep- 25 tions of and a new prominence of the “song” and its individual composers, 26 and new notions of ownership as embodied in copyright.
