Contents

On the occasion of the Centenary of the First Cante Jondo contest held in Granada, and in the framework of a program devoted to this ephemeris, this multidisciplinary and polyhedral course will try to describe the influence of lo jondo in current music, from a critical perspective.

Since the formulation of lo jondo established by Federico García Lorca, and its poetic and political recovery embodied by Juan de Loxa during the second wave of the historic andalusian expression, this word, lo jondo, has nominalized several esthetical and artistic attitudes. In addtion to the strictly musical, which would include not only its implementation in the flamenco, but also its influence in other genres like folk urban musics, sound art or academic music, lo jondo also filters to poetry, prose fiction, anthropology or musical aesthetics. This course will join numerous jondo voices, in the form of critical talks, and in the framework of global South
