DESCRIPTION
Flamenco reaches beyond musical composition and lyrical form but is a deeply emblematic manifestation of culture. Going beyond as an ensemble of musical forms, this socio-cultural artifact intricately weaves artistic expression into local culture. This course first outlines the socio-historical elements that have led flamenco to be embedded in local contemporary culture, then traces the range of flamenco performance features. After cultivating an appreciation of the nuanced influences and artistic ecosystem of the personalities of the singers, dancers and guitarists, flamenco?s presence in assorted aspects of artistic expression, particularly in literature and poetry will be highlighted. This exploration of how flamenco is poised in artistic expression defines how it has helped chisel the construct of the Andalusian archetype.
