A Queer History of Flamenco
A Queer History of Flamenco offers a groundbreaking exploration of flamenco through the lenses of queer theory and cultural studies. Previous histories have provided a largely distorted image about why, where, and how people have done flamenco—as well as who has performed flamenco. Yet feminists, transvestites, butches, femmes, the Spanish Roma, disabled people, guiris, and “incomprehensible” artists have been determined to do things differently without giving up their flamenco status. In this skillful translation of his book Historia queer del flamenco, Fernando López Rodríguez draws on diverse archival materials as well as his own lived experience and artistic practice, unearthing ...
¿Quiénes somos? ¿De dónde venimos? ¿A dónde vamos?
Prensa y música, música y prensa poseen una enorme vinculación, importancia e interés. Por ello, este libro pretende aproximarse a la correspondencia entre ambas desde muy diferentes puntos de partida. Así, la investigación musicológica, la crítica, el periodismo, la academia, la divulgación o la docencia son solo algunos de ellos.Estructurado en once capítulos que abordan distintos temas complementarios entre sí, una introducción inicial y un espectro temporal que va desde 1940 a nuestros días. Alberto Caparrós, Elsa Calero, Eduardo Murillo, Robert Ferrer, Alicia Pajón, Juan Urdániz, Ugo Fellone, Laura Alonso, Pilar Ferrer, Belén Galletero, Miguel Ángel Aguilar y Marco Antonio de la Ossa se aproximan a muy variados estilos musicales (música clásica, himnos guerrilleros, flamenco, canción de autor, bandas sonoras de videojuegos, post-rock, tango, punk, hip hop, mestizaje…). Del mismo modo, en este volumen tampoco se discrimina de forma alguna en medios, ya que revistas musicales, clandestinas, fanzines, prensa generalista nacional, regional, local, radio, televisión, Internet y otros muchos soportes tienen espacio en estas páginas.
Flamenco Music
An expert explains and analyzes the beloved art form An iconic symbol of Spain, flamenco has become a global phenomenon. Peter Manuel offers English-language readers a rare portrait of the music’s history, styles, and cultural impact. Beginning with flamenco’s Moorish and Roma influences, Manuel follows the music’s evolution through its consolidation in the mid-1800s and on to the vibrant contemporary scene. An investigation of flamenco’s major song-types looks at rhythm and compás, guitar technique, and many other aspects of the music while Manuel’s description and analysis of the repertoire range from soleares and bulerías to tangos. His overview of contemporary flamenco culture provides insight into issues that surround the music, including globalization, gender dynamics, notions of ownership, and the ongoing debates on purity versus innovation and the relative roles played by Gitanos and non-Gitanos. Multifaceted and entertaining, Flamenco Music is an in-depth study of the indelible art form that inspires enthusiasts and practitioners around the world.
