ORIGINAL: mark74 It just seems like the 70's were really intense and produced some intense people... I don't know, I'm pretty drunk by now and maybe being stupid.... Drunken theorising is the best... You are right about the 70's, touching upon things briefly it was a very eventful time for music be it flamenco or other genres, also includes other arts such as cinema. The latter there was the emergence of 'New Hollywood' which effectively was the dawn of modern American cinema, some great things in Europe too eg Werner Herzog etc. In American music, there was soul, funk, then disco, the emergence of techno. In the UK, there was punk, etc (not saying these musical genres are exclusive to those countries). For film and music in the UK, USA, Germany etc Ruphus mentioned the post WW2 impact - most of the key players of were born after the war and grew up in a landscape were there were many factors pivotal for creativity (eg education, training, added to rebellion, social factors, etc) Not sure how Spain fits into this, they weren't impacted by WW2 as they had their Civil War, but I imagine they had similar factors to the above which created a environment for creative minds and such.
