  • Rhythmic Foundation and Accompaniment
    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.

  • Evolució De La Música Protesta a Catalunya (1960 – 2020)
    Evolució de la música protesta a Catalunya (1960 – 2020) Treball de Final de Grau Ona Elena Bohórquez Tutor: Carles Viñas i Gràcia Grau d’Història 2019 – 2020 Universitat de Barcelona Resum: És la música un mitjà de la societat per mostrar el seu malestar amb el sistema? Són les i els artistes una amenaça per l’hegemonia del poder? En aquest estat de la qüestió estudiarem, l’evolució de la música protesta a Catalunya, des del franquisme amb paper clau en l’antifranquisme fins a l’actualitat. Veurem com han esdevingut cants per la llibertat, vinculant-se a certs moviments polítics d’esquerres i llibertaris, la persecució i criminalització per part de l’estat espanyol i el paper que ha tingut la llengua i la identitat nacional a l’hora de formular aquest fenomen. Farem també una pinzellada a territoris, com Euskal Herria i Andalusia, on la música va estar al punt de mira i va contribuir a la construcció de la societat, finalment donarem veu a les dones d’aquesta escena. Paraules claus: Catalunya, cançó protesta, censura, repressió. Abstract: Is music a channel for the society to show its unease with the system? Are the artists a threat to the power? It is through these questions we will study the evolution of the protest song in Catalonia, since the fracoism, having a key role in its fight against the regime, up present day. We will see how some songs have became songs of freedom linked to leftists and libertarian political movements, also the persecution and criminalization executed by the Spanish state and the role of the language and the national identity had on drawing up from this phenomenon.

Contact: [email protected] Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 11, no. 2, pp. 29-77 (2016) Flamenco Jazz: An Analytical Study Peter Manuel Since the 1990s, the hybrid genre of flamenco jazz has emerged as a dynamic and original entity in the realm of jazz, Spanish music, and the world music scene as a whole. Building on inherent compatibilities between jazz and flamenco, a generation of versatile Spanish musicians has synthesized the two genres in a wide variety of forms, creating in the process a coherent new idiom that can be regarded as a sort of mainstream flamenco jazz style. A few of these performers, such as pianist Chano Domínguez and wind player Jorge Pardo, have achieved international acclaim and become luminaries on the Euro-jazz scene. Indeed, flamenco jazz has become something of a minor bandwagon in some circles, with that label often being adopted, with or without rigor, as a commercial rubric to promote various sorts of productions (while conversely, some of the genre’s top performers are indifferent to the label 1). Meanwhile, however, as increasing numbers of gifted performers enter the field and cultivate genuine and substantial syntheses of flamenco and jazz, the new genre has come to merit scholarly attention for its inherent vitality, richness, and significance in the broader jazz world.

  • 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.

  • Review WALTER AARON CLARK University of California, Riverside
    Review WALTER AARON CLARK University of California, Riverside Books Received Diagonal has received several publications of genuine interest and importance, and below you will find a summary and evaluation of their contents. All deal with Spanish music and are by Spanish scholars. They provide abundant evidence of a flourishing of musicology in Spain, in terms of both the impressive range of subjects undertaken and also the methodological sophistication employed to examine them. Topics here range from the eighteenth-century tonadilla escénica and twentieth- century cuplé to music criticism in the Edad de Plata, music and dance under Franco, and the malagueña, in all its various facets. This brief overview should leave one feeling encouraged by the notable progress that has been made in fleshing out a long and rich heritage, as well as by the numerous possibilities that remain for groundbreaking research. 1. Encabo, Enrique, ed. Miradas sobre el cuplé en España: identidades, contextos, artistas y repertorios. Colección Música Hispana Textos, no. 23. Estudios. Madrid: ICCMU, 2019. ISBN: 978-84-89457-57-7. 274 pp. Sex sells. And the cuplé was nothing if not sexy. A Spanish term derived from the French word for couplet, it was a type of very risqué theatrical song that had more to do with coupling than couplets. The cuplé was sung and danced exclusively by women for audiences made up mostly of men, who enjoyed not only its ribald lyrics but also the suggestive outfits and movements of the performers. Their signature numbers included African American-influenced genres such as the cakewalk, fox-trot, and Charleston.

I analyze practices of cultural consumption involving records in Medell¶³n,Colombia's second largest city and most important industrial center at the time. The study sheds light on some of the complex connections between two simultaneous historical processes during the mid-twentieth century, mass consumption and socio-political strife. Between 1930 and 1953, Colombian society experienced the rise of mass media and mass consumption as well as the outbreak of La Violencia, a turbulent period of social and political strife. Through an analysis of written material, especially the popular press, this work illustrates the use of aesthetic judgments to establish social di®erences in terms of ethnicity, social class, and gender. Another important aspect of the dissertation focuses on the adoption of music gen- res by di®erent groups, not only to demarcate di®erences at the local level, but as a means to inscribe these groups within larger imagined communities.
