No. 9 (2013): Diciembre

The new number of La Madrugá contains a varied and interesting selection of articles. Norberto Torres analyzes different musical sources (works of Aguado, Sor, Carulli and Carcassi) that allow to detect points of connection between the classic-romantic guitar and the "pre-flamenco" guitar. Oscar González proposes an approximation to the contemporary mining industry from the perspective of the archaeology, using as source the musical heritage of the "cantes de las minas" (sing of the mines). Manuel Avellaneda recalls the first approximations of the saxophone to the flamenco music, who were the players and the technical resources they used. Ana Mª Alcaraz and Jose F. Ortega analyze the Flamenco Mass of Torregrosa and Fernandez de Latorre, one of the most known popular masses that arose immediately after the Second Vatican Council. Raquel Cantero brings us over to the Flamenco Festival of the Mines of Aldea Moret (Cáceres), a locality where the mining activity was decisive in his economic and social development. The last three works, realized by Curro Piñana, Antonio Parra and Jose F. Ortega, are a tribute to Antonio Piñana, patriarch of the "cantes de las minas", in the centenary of his birth.
