Tajsa.eu: Flamenco - Struggling Against Cultural Appropriation (Spain 2 - Romani)
Channel: Misko Stanisic
Date: 04/11/2018

The episode explores the origin and the future of Flamenco - music style developed and cherished by the Spanish Roma. Once, Flamenco was a way of Roma resistance, and a career of the historical narrative and the Roma identity. But who "owns" Flamenco today, when Flamenco is a cultural symbol and identity of the entire Andalusia? Where is a thin line between appropriation of the Roma culture, and appreciation and recognition of the Roma contribution to the mainstream culture?
