I track how such places have negotiated the changing political and economic landscape and how informal flamenco sociality has shifted over the years. Rather than construct an exhaustive linear history of the area, I posthole and wrap my investigations around these different places, events, and phenomena that affected Madrid, presenting a broader layer of general Madrileno history for context. The struggles for places and neighborhoods to maintain a local personality in the face of the encroachment of corporate global forces form the center of my work. In flamenco, the nuance of “the local” becomes even more precise, narrowing from city to neighborhood, to ...

Mientras que el flamenco se alejaba de la ópera flamenca, de la que los fandangos y los fandanguillos eran emblemáticos, discursos sobre la purezael impulso de proyectos de clasificación conllevaron a la ordenación de los palos en flamenco gitano y formas populares. En los primeros tiempos del franquismo, la censura escudriñó las formas populares por laxitud moral o influencias extranjeras. Las nuevas campañas turísticas del gobierno franquista buscaban formas nacionalistas y artes locales que patrocinar. Este artículo examina la trayectoria del fandango en la campaña turística Festivales de España, de los años cincuenta y sesenta. Además, analiza cómo las raíces folclóricas del fandango funcionaban como puente entre el uso del imaginario andaluz por parte del gobierno, con fines turísticos, y la ortodoxia de puristas flamencos. Este trabajo considera también la importan...

Flamenco was transitioning from the theatrical flamenco and the ópera flamenca era, of which the fandangos and fandanguillos were seen as symbols for many purists. The era referred to as nacionalflamenquismo began as ópera flamenca ended, and an authoritarian dictatorship brought its love of categories and classification.renewed government tourism campaign searched for nationalist forms and local arts to sponsor. I will examine the trajectory of the fandango through the government sponsored “Festivales de España” campaign in the fifties and sixties. I will analyze how its rootsfolk rhythm and flamenco palo provided a bridge between the franquista use of Andalusian imagery for tourist purposes and the orthodoxy of flamenco purists like Antonio Mairena.will also consider the importance of fandango specialists like Paco Toronjo in assuring its survival as part of the flamenco canon.
