Abstract

The Flamenco artists who performed in Barcelona adapted to political changes that took place during the Second Republic. Though most of the bibliography positions flamenco to the right, flamenco activities during the politically and socially unstable thirties were often committed to republican ideology. The clearest example of this adaptation was the creation of the republican fandangos, natural fandangos (without measure) with lyrics allusive to the Republic. The majority of these were recorded in the studios of Barcelona based record companies, and featured artists who regularly performed in the city, such as Guerrita, Miguel Borrull, Manolo Bulerías, Pepe Hurtado, Chato de las Ventas or Gran Fanegas.
 In any case, flamenco, as an art form should not be labelled with any specific political ideology.
