Abstract

Musical heritage is part of the intangible heritage that determines the cultural identity of a group. Flamenco was named by UNESCO (2010) intangible cultural heritage of humanity. Artistic Education should have as a challenge the knowledge, conservation and transmission of one's own culture and that of others. However, the pieces of folklore, Spanish dance and flamenco are not as present in the classrooms despite the fact that they are reflected in various objectives and contents of the legislation. Could the student acquire basic notions of culture without knowing the fundamental elements of the most representative music and dance in his country? The classrooms should be a place for the recovery and adaptation of popular, traditional repertoire, in order to preserve part of our culture, folklore and flamenco. Thus, this issue of LEEME shows two articles in the field of Flamenco and folklore from non-formal and formal teaching contexts, respectively.
