content: Carnival and carnival songs formed the topic of Mintz's book Carnival Song and Society: Gossip, Sexuality, and Creativity in Andalusia (1997). As part of the festivities of the Spanish carnival, strolling musical groups perform songs that they have composed specifically for the event. This subseries consists of typed song lyrics, English translations, and programs collected from carnivals held in Benalup, Trebujena, Cadiz, and Ubrique from 1966 to 1990. The folders are grouped by town and arranged in chronological order.
