University of California Riverside UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE Flamenco Capital: Tradition, Revolution and Renewal in Seville, Spain A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music by Joshua Michael Brown August 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Jonathan Ritter, Chairperson Dr. Walter Aaron Clark Dr. Deborah A. Wong Copyright by Joshua Michael Brown 2014 The Dissertation of Joshua Michael Brown is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside 2014 Acknowledgements There are so many people and organizations that helped make this dissertation possible. First, I would like to thank the members of my dissertation committee: Walter Clark, Deborah Wong and Jonathan Ritter. Throughout my time at UC Riverside, each of these professors provided me with encouragement, support, feedback and guidance that have helped me grow as a scholar, teacher, musician, community member and human being. Dr. Clark has taught me so much about music, history and Spain. His leadership and teaching styles have had a serious impact on my approaches to pedagogy, presentation and professionalism. Deborah Wong has consistently challenged me to become a better scholar and to think more deeply and critically about my work. I am grateful for her advice and teachings, and that she demanded excellence from me at every turn. Finally, Jonathan Ritter has been such a great advisor and mentor. His patience, kindness, humor and wisdom are all boundless. I admire Jonathan for so many reasons, and pattern myself after him in a number of ways. I consider myself very lucky for being able to work with these three remarkable individuals and scholars. Moreover, I look to them as models of distinction in the spheres of scholarship, musicianship and pedagogy. I want to thank all of the organizations that have funded my research throughout the years: the UC Office of the President for the Dissertation Year Fellowship in 2014- 15, the UC Riverside Center for Ideas and Society for a Humanities Graduate Student Research Grant in 2012-13, the Fulbright Institute of International Education in Spain (also known as Fulbright España) for a research grant in 2011-12, as well as the College iv of the Humanities and Social Sciences at UCR for several travel grants. These institutions believed in my ideas and allowed for this research to develop and materialize. I would also like to thank the Gluck Program for the Arts, which helped to fund me through five years of graduate study and research. The Gluck Program enabled me to connect with the local community in Riverside through outreach in schools and other venues. Christine Leapman and Shane Shukis are caring people that do a wonderful job of coordinating absolutely everything. Karen Wilson’s impact on me has been profound. Her style, grace, wisdom and love permeate everything that she does and touch all of those around her. Karen helped me grow as a performer, scholar and public speaker. I was extremely fortunate to be able to join a supportive community of graduate students in the music department at UCR. My colleagues and friends have been with me through all the ups and downs of grad school. It has been great working alongside Supeena Adler, Hannah Balcomb, William Beuche, Daniel Castro Pantoja, Tori Dalzell, Aaron Fruchtman, Loribeth Gregory and Jeff Beck, Martin Jaroszewicz, Erica Jones, Nana Kaneko, Neal Matherne, Matthew Neil, No.e Parker and Anas, Paula Propst, Popi Primadewi, Tony Rasmussen, Eileen Regullano, Jake Rekedal, Teresa Sanchez, Erica Siegel, Aaron Singer, Miles Shrewsbery, Russ Skelchy, Desmond Stevens, Robert Wahl, and Liz Wood. I especially want to thank Alexandra Anaya Green, Ron Conner, Alyson Payne, Gary Barnett, Kate Alexander and Taylor Greene for their love and support during this grueling process. There are a number of graduate students from outside UCR’s music department that also deserve mention here. I am indebted to Sarah Grant, Renzo Aroni, Jessie v Vallejo and Nolan Warden for their support, friendship and counsel. I continue to learn a great deal from Sarah, whose passions for knowledge and adventure are truly inspiring. I am grateful for the teachings of UCR professors René T.A. Lysloff, Paul Ryer and Sally Ness. Professor Lysloff has supported my scholarly development from day one and continues to show me new ways of thinking about my research. Former UCR professor Renee Coloumbe was an incredible mentor who introduced me to the wide world of critical theory with unparalleled vivacity and vision. As an undergraduate at UC Santa Barbara, Professor Scott Marcus introduced me to North Indian Classical music and the field of ethnomusicology. Scott is one of the most talented and caring people that I have ever known. Without his love and encouragement, I would never have made it this far. In addition, professors Timothy Cooley, Anthony McCann, Jay Carlander and David Lawyer inspired me to continue searching for questions and answers both inside and outside of books. I will always treasure my time with the late Professor Lawyer, who was a beacon of genius and fire that lifted me up in the classroom. Seville feels like home because of all the wonderful friendships that I have forged there over the years. I do not even want to fathom where I would be or what I would have done without all of the following people. Alberto Aguilar and Cristina Rodríguez invited me into their home again and treated me like family. They also made the mistake of allowing me to participate in a serious game of fútbol with them. José Luis Cabezas Serrano and Reyes Velasco were technically my landlords, but they took care of me and I look up to them as my Andalusian parents. Together with their son, Luis Cabezas vi Velasco, José Luis and Reyes took me in and made me feel at home. They were also quite supportive of my research and introduced me to a number of important artists, albums and ideas. I learned so much from my dear friends Jesús Sousa, Jesús Gotor, as well as Luis Ángel Hernández Nieto and Linda. I continue to treasure their friendships and marvel at the love that they showed me during my research year. Although he was not there for most of my stay, I constantly felt Alberto Andrés Martinez Sánchez’s presence in Seville. Alberto inspired me to pursue research in Andalusia and helped generate some of the foundational ideas for this dissertation. Moreover, Alberto is one of my biggest supporters and has provided invaluable assistance with grant applications, translations and much more. I am forever indebted to him and honored to call him one of my best friends. Alicia Acuña is an amazing cantaora and teacher. She allowed me to sit in on cante classes even though my accompaniment skills were subpar. Alicia’s strength can only be matched by her talent, generosity and love. Her parents, Aurelia and Blas, were helpful and always willing to recount stories to me regarding the history of their peña and Seville at large. José Antonio Jiménez Berenguer, the final president of Peña Pies Plomo, consistently went out of his way to assist me and make me feel welcome. I learned a great deal about the local flamenco community in Seville from Pepe. Several other individuals in Spain were helpful in the course of my research including Curro Aix, Juan Vergillos, Estela Zatania, Alicia González, Manuel Macias, Raúl Rodríguez, Manuel Flores, Juan del Gastor, José Padilla, Francisco Águilar Gamero and Jesús Cosano. Curro is a brilliant scholar and friend who inspires me with his vii activism and always makes me laugh. Estela was always willing to answer my questions and her first-hand knowledge of flamenco performance, culture and history is extraordinary. Juan Vergillos continues to teach me about Spain and flamenco, and his generosity was overwhelming. In the United States, I was lucky to be able to consult with Brook Zern, Pablo Shalmy, Steve Kahn, Tao Ruspoli, Evan Harrar and Mica Graña. Tao’s films Flamenco: A Personal Journey (2005) and Manuel (2013) were revealing and helped me learn what flamenco means to people in Andalusia. Although highly suspect of academics in general, Steve Kahn and Brook Zern shared their experiences in and feelings about flamenco with me quite freely. I am grateful to them for their encouragement, candor and friendship throughout this project. I also want to give thanks to my wonderful friends and mentors. Jerry Kay’s generosity and love is unbelievable and I am so thankful for his friendship. Beau Flasher, Jason Pinsker, Tadj Correia and Courtney Gordon are great friends that have kept me sane through grad school. Mentors that nurtured my intellectual world outside of the university include George Winard, Margarita Talavera, Michael Melton, Ed Pearl and my grandfather, Samuel Brown. Margarita brought me to Spain for the first time and helped spark my love for and interest in her native country. David Ferguson, Ali Akbar Khansahib and Edward Jaxon are my musical mentors, three individuals that taught me how to listen and be one with sound. Finally, I must thank all of the members of my family (including the McCormicks) for their endless support and love. My mother, Mary Ett Brown, has viii always encouraged me in my musical and educational pursuits. She consistently pushed me to be the best that I could be, and that is one of the main reasons that I have been successful. My father, Jonathan Brown, fostered my love for music and fretted instruments. He also taught me the value of hard work, practice and patience. My partner, Hallie McCormick, has been my rock for close to four years now. More than anyone else, she has been there on the brightest days and during the darkest hours.

    Introduction To Flamenco: Rhythmic Foundation and Accompaniment by "Flamenco Chuck" Keyser P.O. Box 1292 Santa Barbara, CA 93102 [email protected] http://users.aol.com/BuleriaChk/private/flamenco.html © Charles H. Keyser, Jr. 1993 (Painting by Rowan Hughes) Flamenco Philosophy IA My own view of Flamenco is that it is an artistic expression of an intense awareness of the existential human condition. It is an effort to come to terms with the concept that we are all "strangers and afraid, in a world we never made"; that there is probably no higher being, and that even if there is he/she (or it) is irrelevant to the human condition in the final analysis. The truth in Flamenco is that life must be lived and death must be faced on an individual basis; that it is the fundamental responsibility of each man and woman to come to terms with their own alienation with courage, dignity and humor, and to support others in their efforts. It is an excruciatingly honest art form. For flamencos it is this ever-present consciousness of death that gives life itself its meaning; not only as in the tragedy of a child's death from hunger in a far-off land or a senseless drive-by shooting in a big city, but even more fundamentally in death as a consequence of life itself, and the value that must be placed on life at each moment and on each human being at each point in their journey through it. And it is the intensity of this awareness that gave the Gypsy artists their power of expression.

Para demostrar que esta consideración es el resultado de un largo proceso de transformación, se analizan los escritos sobre tonás y martinetes y se compara el contenido de sus coplas con las descripciones de ciertos hechos históricos. En múltiples casos coinciden los fragmentos, aunque sean muy breves, con determinados acontecimientos reales, lo que se puede interpretar como un indicio de que las letras efectivamente derivan de unos textos de romances noticiosos, narrando sobre asuntos carcelarios y la persecución de los gitanos. Uno de los hechos concretos constituye la Prisión General de los Gitanos, realizada en 1749, incluyendo su preparación y sus consecuencias.

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.

  • El Rocío: a Case Study of Music and Ritual in Andalucía
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: EL ROCÍO: A CASE STUDY OF MUSIC AND RITUAL IN ANDALUCÍA W. Gerard Poole, Ph.D., 2007 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Carolina Robertson, Department of Ethnomusicology Music is central to the processional pilgrimage of El Rocío, which attracts hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to Andalusia, Spain, late each spring. The pilgrimage affords a unique view, in microcosm, of the relationships between music and ritual from both ritual-studies and ethnomusicological perspectives. Based on extensive fieldwork and other research, this dissertation explores the nexus of the Catholic ritual system in Andalusia, flamenco, and the specific music of El Rocío: the Sevillanas Rocieras. That nexus becomes clear through exploration of three particular features of the pilgrimage: (1) the devotional processions that generate a single, focused, collective emotion; (2) the Andalusian musical form called the palo; and (3) the informal musical gatherings called juergas, which take place nightly along the route. Analysis of structural and morphological relationships between ritual, music, and emotion yields surprising realizations about how these three elements come together as embodied aesthetics within a communitas to generate popular culture. Another important finding of this work is the necessity of placing, at the center of the inquiry, the religious experience—including the curious Andalusian phenomenon of the “chaotic” emotional procession and its role within the overall pilgrimage and ritual system. The dissertation concludes with two theoretical positions. The first addresses the process of “emotional structuring” and its role within the musical rituals of El Rocío and, by extension, Andalusia. The second advances a theory of ritual relations with potential application to ritual systems beyond Andalusia.

  • 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. Declaration: I hereby certify that the attached research paper is wholly my own work, and that all quotations from primary and secondary sources have been acknowledged. Signed: Francisco Javier Bethencourt LLobet Date: 23 th November 2011 i Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank all of my supervisors, even those who advised me when my second supervisor became head of the ICMuS: thank you Nanette de Jong, Ian Biddle, and Vic Gammon.
