Abstract

Since 1976, [our] goal has been to fight against the Franco/tourist mono-culture with its flamenco, bulls, sangria and the Phalangist Sección Femenina regional folklorism with its coros i danzas and white shirts and red kerchiefs that are still part of the San Fermin costume to this day. As we became interested in [the xeremies], we found ourselves with a problem: the majority of the musicians were very old people, and in order to restore its dignity, we decided [that] we would collect what was left of the musical formation and ensure its secular presence in village celebrations. And I think that something came out of it. Otherwise, look around you. What it used to be and what it has become: what a difference! (Rotger and Rubio 2015)

Abstract in Catalan

L’article està centrat en la bibliografia dels Xeremiers de sa Calatrava, dos homes que van dedicar la seva vida a la música tradicional mallorquína. La seva historia és inseparable del renaixament de la música mallorquína, en part iniciada per la seva gran voluntat per desenvolupar l’instrument, adaptant-lo a les seves necesitats artístiques com a músics. Aquí m’interesso per la seva influência directa i indirecta en el món de la música tradicional: tant en els seus principis a ľadolescéncia fins als seus èxits als anys 1990 i 2000, com en la reivindicació de les seves identitats durant el context de la crisi econòmica de 2008 que va impactar de manera dràstica en la cultura tradicional mallorquína.
