Intercambios (trans)atlánticosaportación de las nuevas generaciones de músicos cubano-españoles en la escena de jazz-flamenco como puente con América

Resumo

After conducting a thorough revision of the already existent literature about jazzflamenco, new flamenco and hybridization, including the American contribution to flamenco realized by Calvo and Gamboa (1994), Faustino Núñez (1998-2021), Zagalaz (2012-2018), Peter Manuel (2016), etc., we have analyzed a series of musical projects of Cuban-Spanish musicians: Ariel Brínguez, Michael Olivera, Reiner Elizarde and other pianists: Pepe Rivero and Arturo Rodríguez, to see how they enrich not only the jazz scene in Madrid but also the flamenco scene. Taking as a reference the great contribution of Cuban musicians of previous generations like Bebo Valdés or Alain Pérez, who traveled in music tours with Paco de Lucía, in this article we analyze in which Ariel Brínguez and Michael Olivera have enriched musical ideas, focusing on Pablo Martín Caminero’s projects, or have produced others of artist such us Antonio Lizana. In different formats these musicians with double or even triple education in classical, jazz and flamenco music allow us to rethink concepts like transcultural hybridation and multiple identity, that artists such as Buika expressed so well and hence became part of the new afro-spanish generation, and also are a god example of the way in which these artists are an essential part of the history of flamenco.
