And flamenco is the main driving force which identifies Andalusians both within and across borders. A musical and artistic genre which, since 2010, makes part of the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage established by UNESCO. The safeguard and protection of flamenco are a mandate of the Statute of Autonomy and the Department of Culture of the Andalusian Government is responsible for its implementation. The continuation of Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía (Andalusian Flamenco Ballet) is one of the measures of support and diffusion of the Andalusian cultural genre par excellence. The threads of Andalusian culture mingle with the dance steps of a project aimed to become a commonplace for top-notch creators and artists, encouraging the participation and professional development of Andalusian artists. The Andalusian Government has since 1994 its own dance company: then called Andalusian Dance Company (Compañía Andaluza de Danza) which, under the guidance of greatest choreographers, has brought flamenco to numerous stages in Spain and abroad. In 2004 it was renamed Andalusian Flamenco Ballet (Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía). Today it is a symbol of Andalusian culture, flamenco art and the common values and emotions of a people; a dance company which will go on weaving the threads of Andalusian most representative art wherever flamenco steps arrive. 3 HISTORY Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía (Andalusian Flamenco Ballet) is the highest institutional representative of flamenco and Réquiem by Mario Maya (1994) has played, since its creation in 1994 -over 20 years ago-, the role of ambassador of flamenco. Throughout this period the Company has become the best means for opening new markets for flamenco, has been on stages all over the world and has been part of the cultural agendas of countries such as the United States, Argentina, Cuba, France, Italy, Hungary, Switzerland or Mexico; of major international events like Aichi Exhibition in Japan and has participated in big flamenco festivals such as New York or London. The productions carried out during this time have reached remote locations but were also staged in Andalusia. The Andalusian Flamenco Ballet participated in seven editions of the programme Lorca y Granada en los Jardines del Generalife (the prestigious festival held in the Alhambra gardens in Granada) with several productions based on works by Federico García Lorca which have afterwards toured the main scenic venues in Spain and abroad. The history of the Ballet is full of recognition, not only from the public and the critics but also from performing arts specialists. In this regard it has been awarded the National Choreography Prize for the show directed by María Pagés El Perro Andaluz and several choreographies by Cristina Hoyos while she directed the Ballet have been nominated for the Max theatre prizes. Notable among these is Yerma, which received the Max Prize for Best Female Dance Performance to Cristina Hoyos; or Romancero Gitano which was the most seen show in Spain in 2006. Images, 20 years of Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía received the Giraldillo Prize for the Best Show of the 18th Flamenco Bienal of Seville. Likewise, Tierra-Lorca. Cancionero popular has been awarded, proposed by the Jury, the Giraldillo Prize to the corps de ballet of the Ballet in the 19th Flamenco Bienal of Sevilla. The dance company has been a constant source of talents whence major current flamenco artists emerged: Israel Galván, Isabel Bayón, Rafael Campallo, Belén Maya, Fernando Romero, Poema del Cante Jondo Mercedes Ruiz, María José Franco, Juan José Jaén en el Café de Chinitas “El Junco”, Patricia Guerrero or Rafaela Carrasco by Cristina Hoyos (2011) among others. All this has led Andalusian Flamenco Ballet to become an exemplary dance company the productions of which have created its own public within and across Spanish borders and which awakes the interest for flamenco around the world. 4 El perro andaluz De lo flamenco by María Pagés (1996) by Mario Maya (1994) En la memoria del cante: 1922 by Rafaela Carrasco (2014) Bodas de sangre La leyenda by Antonio Gades (2002) by José Antonio Ruiz (2002) Imágenes. 20 años de Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía Yerma by Rafaela Carrasco (2015) by Cristina Hoyos (2003) Tierra-Lorca by Rafaela Carrasco (2016) Romancero gitano by Cristina Hoyos (2006) Metáfora Llanto por Ignacio Sánchez Mejías by Rubén Olmo (2011) by Rubén Olmo (2012) 5 Directors and choreographers of the Mario Maya Alejandro Granados Ballet Flamenco de Andalucía Manolo Marín Eva Yerbabuena María Pagés Isabel Bayón Fernando Romero Antonio Gades José Antonio Ruiz Cristina Hoyos Javier Latorre Rubén Olmo Manolete Rafaela Carrasco Rafael Campallo Rafael Estévez Javier Barón Valeriano Paños 6 Choreographies De lo flamenco, 1994 La vida breve, 1997 La leyenda, 2002 CHOREOGRAPHY Mario Maya (Suite from the opera by ORIGINAL IDEA AND CHOREOGRAPHY A.

  • ANTONIO GADES COMPANY Presents
    ANTONIO GADES COMPANY presents FUEGO •Inspired by the work by Manuel de Falla •Plot, choreography and lighting by Antonio Gades and Carlos Saura The Purpose of FUEGO. Coinciding with the tenth anniversary of the death of Antonio Gades, the Foundation that carries his name decided to undertake a very significant challenge setting up another version of the Manuel de Falla’s ballet “Enchanted Love”. With the title of “FUEGO” this was the second scenic interpretation the Alicante choreographer had of Manuel de Falla’s work. Being an exponent of Gades’ core idea “return to tradition if you want to evolve”, this ballet is a transitional piece between the almost mythical setups in Carmen and Fuenteovejuna. It was also the last of the joint mythical flamenco works by Gades and Saura, and with the same overlaying structure they followed in Carmen, first as a film and secondly as a ballet. About this, Gades said the following: …The scenic version is very different from cinematography. Carlos and I are telling another story altogether. We are providing the soundtrack for the film song by Rocio Jurado and the Spanish National Orchestra, directed by the maestro Jesús López Cobos. However, we have changed the order of the pieces and I have added some flamenco and various popular songs that do not appear in the film. Regarding the origin of the play, it is important to know that the choreographer had just gone through a very difficult personal experience. Apart from the breakup with his wife at the time, Pepa Flores, his father also passed away and even his brother Enrique who had up until then been part of the company suffered a tragic death at that time.

  • The Zambra, Tourism, and Discourses of Authenticity in Granada's
    The Zambra, Tourism, and Discourses of Authenticity in Granada’s Flamenco Scene MATTHEW MACHIN-AUTENRIETH Abstract: The zambra is a genre and context of flamenco unique to the Gitano (Gypsy) neighbourhood 157-179. 43(2): of Sacromonte (Granada), which throughout its historical development has been closely intertwined with tourism. Framed by recent musical and social change in the zambra, this article examines debates regarding tourism, authenticity, and local heritage in Sacromonte. Previous research has focused on the MUSICultures economic and institutional dimensions of flamenco tourism with little consideration of local discourses. This article interrogates a static notion of “staged authenticity,” instead focusing on the dynamic and contested relationship between music and tourism in the context of local musical practice. Résumé : Le zambra est un genre de flamenco propre aux Gitans, dans le contexte unique des environs de Sacromonte, dans la région de Grenade, qui, au cours de son développement historique, s’est trouvé étroitement mêlé au tourisme. Dans le cadre des changements musicaux et sociaux qui sont récemment intervenus dans le zambra, cet article examine les débats portant sur le tourisme, l’authenticité et le patrimoine local à Sacromonte. De précédentes recherches se sont focalisées sur les dimensions économiques et institutionnelles du tourisme du flamenco, en portant peu attention aux discours locaux. Cet article interroge la notion statique de « l’authenticité mise en scène » au lieu de se restreindre à la dynamique et à la relation contestée entre la musique et le tourisme, dans le contexte de la pratique musicale locale. hroughout its history, flamenco has been closely linked to the Tdevelopment of tourism and the formation of exotic stereotypes of Spanish identity.

  • The Zambra, Tourism and Discourses of Authenticity in Granada's
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Apollo The Zambra, Tourism and Discourses of Authenticity in Granada’s Flamenco Scene In Spain, flamenco has become an important element in the tourism industry particularly in the southern region of Andalusia. Indeed, throughout its history flamenco has been closely linked to the development of tourism and has played an important role in the formation of exotic stereotypes of Spanish identity. In recent years, however, flamenco has come to represent the political, economic and cultural aspirations of an autonomous Andalusian region and is now a profitable state- sponsored culture industry of which tourism is an intrinsic part. Some scholars have examined the political and economic role of flamenco in the Andalusian tourism industry (Aix Gracia 2014; Aoyama 2009; Washabaugh 2012: 89–92), while a handful of others have offered ethnographic case studies that examine the links between flamenco, ethnic identity, heritage and tourism in specific locations such as Jerez de la Frontera (Giguère 2005, 2010; Pasqualino 1998; Quintana 1998). This article focuses on one locally embedded manifestation of flamenco and its role in the tourism industry – the zambra of Granada – based on ethnographic research conducted in the city. The zambra is a performance context and genre unique to the Sacromonte neighborhood of Granada and its gitano (Gypsy) community. It is inextricably linked to the tourism industry, as every year thousands of tourists come to watch flamenco performances in the neighborhood’s famous caves. However, members of the local flamenco community rarely frequent these performances and therefore the zambra’s reliance on tourism has led some aficionados and artists in Granada to criticize it for being a commercialized genre that departs from idealized notions of “authenticity” in flamenco performance.

  • 8 of April Gypsy Culture Awards
    8TH OF APRIL GYPSY CULTURE AWARDS: CELEBRATION AND RECOGNITION OF GYPSYHOOD JOAQUÍN LÓPEZ BUSTAMANTE1 The Fundación Instituto de Cultura Gitana celebrates the International Day of the Gypsy People with the Gypsy Culture award ceremony on the 8th of April. The jury —comprised of the Advisory Board of the Instituto de Cultura Gitana— recognizes the merits of those men and women —gypsies and non-gypsies; Spaniards and foreigners— who, from different artistic, social or academic fields, have contributed to enrich gypsy culture: writers, musicians, film makers, plastic artists and researchers who enlarge the creative flow and artistic effervescence of the gypsy people. Consolidated as they are as a fundamental referent in Romani culture, these awards make up a polyhedral portrait of the heterogeneous wealth of gypsy culture. In the 2008 edition, held at the Centro de Arte Reina Sofía of Madrid, the award-winners by category were: Literature Award: José Heredia Maya, poet, playwright, essayist and university professor. Heredia Maya is the best representative of gypsy writing in the Spanish language. After receiving a BA in Romanic Philology from the University of Granada, where he later was a Spanish Literature professor, he became the first gypsy professor in the Spanish university system. Founder of the Seminar of Flamenco Studies of the University of Granada, he was a referent in the cultural and artistic life of his city. Penar Ocono was his first book of poems (1973) followed by Poemas indefensos in 1974. He wrote Camelamos naquear in 1976 and put it on stage, along with the flamenco dancer Mario Maya, where flamenco is interpreted from a new dramatic perspective in order to send a message of protest in defence of gypsy people’s rights.

The varied traditions, festivals, and rituals of daily life reflect the special character of its people and have made the Andalusian region a wellspring of cultural heritage, not just for dance and song but for poetry, art, and literature. Through the language of flamenco, this special ‘Poem’ pays tribute to the unique land and people of Andalucía MALAGA: EL SOL DE PICASSO Choreography: Susana di Palma Pablo Picasso was born in this sunny seashore city, his early works reflect the sun and lightness of his spirit before the development of his more serious later works.

  • Compañía Antonio Gades “Carmen”
    COMPAÑÍA ANTONIO GADES “CARMEN” •Inspired by the work of the same name by Prosper Merimée •Plot, choreography and lighting by Antonio Gades & Carlos Saura ON CARMEN The theatre version of CARMEN was conceived roughly at the same time as the shooting of Carlos Saura’s film. The film’s success, which took even Gades and Saura by surprise, encouraged Antonio Gades to produce a version for the theatre that turned out to be another masterpiece in the line of BLOOD WEDDING and FLAMENCO SUITE. The premiere in Paris in 1983 was a considerable popular and critical success, revealing Antonio Gades to be not only one of the most important dancers in the world but also one of the greatest choreographers. Antonio Gades’ reasons for creating this work can be summed up in the ideas that he explained in a press conferences. In his view “Carmen is neither a frivolous woman nor a man-eater. She’s just an honest woman who when she loves says she loves and when she doesn’t love and says she doesn’t. In other words, a free woman. I don’t think this makes her a maneater. Carmen also doesn’t treat her feelings as private property. When she loved she said so and she did the same when she stopped loving. She also had such an exalted idea of freedom that she preferred to die rather than lose it. She’s always been treated frivolously and as a maneater. But Carmen has something essential which is a far cry from all this - her concept of class and her nobility.
