El flamenco pop como tecnología del cambio social en España: del desarrollismo nacionalflamenquista al cuerpo biorrumbero de la Transición

This article traces the changes in Spanish "pop" flamenco from late Francoism to the Transition to democracy. It researches how these changes crystallize in two different modes of popular artistic expression ( nationalflamenquismo and suburbia or vallecana rhumba ) that interact in vastly different ways with society and power at large in both historical moments. The second part of this study develops the notion of "Transitional Music" applied to rumba vallecana to explain the instrumental role rumba played in order to overcome the social and identity legacy of Francoism.
