This list represents some of the materials that I have and can make available to you should you wish to explore them for your final projects.  This is by no means all that you have access to, since you can, of course, find much in the library and on the web.   For more music, consult both the main and music libraries.  This list includes music, magazines, poetry, novels, short stories, movies, and posters.

No pasarán!  (songs from the Civil War  (ie. Ay Carmela.  These are ballads used during Civil War.)
 

Años del franquismo y después:
Concha Piquer:  La copla.  These are very important “canciones populares” in that they were both used by Franco and subverted traditional notions of gender and sexuality.

Joan Manuel Serrat.  Popular singer-songwriter.  Serrat continues to have an important presence in Spanish culture.  For more re Serrat, look to the section in Spanish Cultural Studies pp. 291-4.
 

Más reciente:                            back to top
Carlos Nuñez, Os amores libres  (music strongly related to Galicia and Galician identity) (1999)

Ana Belén, Lorquiana.  Ana Belen is still considered a “diva” by many in Spain.  Came of age at end of francoist Spain and has had a political slant to much of her work (most written by husband and fellow artist Víctor Manuel.  This in particular is a recently released disk honoring Garcia Lorca in his centenary, both putting his poetry to music and reinterpreting popular songs he had previously put to music.  Involves many different artists.)

Flamenco:  Cameron, Festival de Granada, Paco de Lucía, Con duende (mezcla de artistas)

Nuevo Flamenco:  Ketama, Los jovenes flamencos, Barbaría del Sur, Nina Pastori, Navajita Plateá, etc.

Pedro Guerra:  young singer-songwriter (in his late 20’s?).  Has, in a sense, a more political-social agenda.

“Y”:  revista of the Seccion Feminina, the organization under Franco that was in charge of the indoctrination and formation of the new Spanish woman.  We’ll see many images in class, but I have more if you’re interested.

*many of these revistas also contain ads that characterize Spain a certain way
