This chapter provides an account of the cante jondo competition organized by Manuel de Falla and Federico García Lorca in Granada in 1922, which has been the object of substantial attention by scholars who regard cante jondo as an example of invented tradition. The chapter adds a new angle to this discussion as it argues that this competition helped to negotiate the tensions between Andalusia and Madrid provoked by rural immigration in the second half of the nineteenth century, and to restore the image of Gypsies from the damage inflicted by Eugenio Noel and other anti-flamenquismo critics. While Falla and Lorca used cante jondo as an antidote against flamenquismo, many critics in Madrid embraced flamenquismo as an antidote against jazz, which they regarded as a modern foreign import that threatened to annihilate national traditions. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the extent to which Andalusian identity and traditions were misunderstood in Madrid.

En el presente escrito me propongo indagar respecto de la influencia de la cultura andaluz en la producción poética de Federico García Lorca, manifestado no solo en la temática que el autor aborda, sino también en un estudio comparativo de expresiones culturales como el cante jondo y los temas que resultan recurrentes en el autor como expresión del pensamiento y la cultura andaluz. Abordamos al poeta de la generación del 27, al hombre que fue capaz de profetizar su muerte a través de su producción poética, al que veía impregnada la cultura andaluza en todo lo que fuera el mundo hispánico, al que para abordar la vida era inevitable la unión entre el amor que casi siempre terminaba con la muerte, al que fue asesinado a manos de sus coterráneos al inicio de la guerra civil española en la carretera que de Viznar conduce a Alfacar en Granada - España.

The topic of my essay is the musical work of Federico García Lorca and the effect of music on poetry. The aim is to present an objective image of García Lorca, the musician, disregarding his reputation as poet and dramatist. In this extract, I discuss the theory of cante jondo. The differences between Lorca’s and later experts’ results are presented from the perspective of modern flamencology. The first disputed aspect is stylistic categorisation – while the poet makes a distinction between cante jondo and cante flamenco, flamencologists consider cante jondo as a subtype of flamenco. The origin of the genre is even more problematic, and, in the absence of written documents, the debate between the representatives of the Andalusian and the gypsy origin is still unclosed. Considering the place of origin of cante jondo Lorca did not state his opinion, therefore, based on some references, I try to clarify if he shared his teacher’s, Manuel de Falla’s opinion, which is different from what experts claim today. Only part of the analysis of Poema del cante jondo is published here, but after the in-depth examination of the volume it can be stated that despite the disputability of his theory, the poet could recreate the emotions and thoughtfulness of “deep song”.
