What Is or Was Flamenco Rejection? 
No wish to offend anyone if this question is inappropriate.

Heard the term Flamenco Rejection back in the 60's and have absolutely no idea what it means. (If it is inflammatory, I'm by no means posing it as such.)

Can anyone here explain what it means? The phrase I remember was ". . for those of us with a history of Flamenco Rejection." ??

Regards (and hope I have not offended anyone with the question.)

Mike

I dont know if this is the same thing, but flamenco had a golden era back in the 30, 40, then it went the other way, there was even a antiflamenco magazine in the sixties, there were alot of critics.

I dont know if it was because of it or it changed because of that but flamenco in the sixties, majority of it was very different, very bollero, rumba, opera like it was almost like pop.

and then it returned to his roots.

Thank you very much. It was around the sixties that the term was heard. Not sure then if the "rejection" was against the neuvaux form or against the classic.

Sounds like the former from your note.

Thanks again.

I've also read it refering to the guitar being an inferior instrument in the classical world. This was the opinion of most classical musicians until Segovia came along.

You should both consider yourselves the epitome of the esoterically well-informed. This subject gets a complete bust on Google. Not a single hit of any insight.

You have been very kind to a complete novice. My exposure to classical guitar is limited to one of my favorites - Rodrigo: Concierto de Aranjuez. Not vigorously respectable, but an interest none the less.

Thanks again.
