The Spain d

THE SPAIN d

It is focusing on the CCCB in Barcelona an exhibition that runs until September 6 with the name of Gangs of the 80s. This exhibition highlights the main theme quinqui a Spain in the 80 existed in the eternal suburbs of the major Spanish cities. This was advertised and Spain quinqui vaunted by movies and the press of the time. But not only was hailed by the press and film, has also been transmitted after the power transmitter of music, fashion and theater. We have the example from the social drama of Alfonso Sastre, in his book "Fantastic Tavern? which already exhibited a jargon and a way to behave in that suburb that left much to be desired at the time of the Spanish transition, which was unique to the special emphasis outskirts of Madrid and the dawn of evil life, alcoholism and marginality. The play reflects very well behaved as quinquis, the mercheros, Gypsies and migueletes. There is a whole glossary of words that in an environment of marginalized suburb and made an appearance across a chair of literature on the subject has been written, and even an amalgam of literary essays in which that language was imposed as a totem.

Example:

When will this end in menda the ball? The expected talk to people Mandango piquerosY, which mola.Empleo the voquibles talagueros-the Chamullo we use in the maco-hung and a slang word mandangueros.No hear without your taco -and think about the parallels, and I bet no one but a sack cangri.

Alfonso Sastre, poem.

Lumpenproletariat

A tailor Alfonso.

From pitandoYo sinela estaripén Chachipen Naje me, nai nai najar chaborrillas Diquela junando napo.Al

My Puchel in calé, my sinela handsome.

I Camel cowering junear

Prisoners macodiquelan me in the freedom of sarcasm in junear flipandoY my mom and my bato.

That my life is menda choro, My life is a day and months with taco, Life without you Chamullo najando jicho.

Retail pull, neglect the heist, in Butron Butron to esparramo rilando, Chora in Chora, duquela cloth bag.

This poem reflects my original pimp lingo well that exists in the suburbs where so many of us have lived and still live. But the fact that Alfonso Sastre wrote his great play was nothing more than the start of a whole urban subculture was born to study that now exponen.Directores as Carlos Saura, José Antonio de la Loma, Eloy de la Church and others, directed films like "Hurry, hurry? Saura in the case of the famous saga "Torete recent hits? by Jose Antonio de la Loma and many more. There was also the problem of drug addiction, where Eloy de la Iglesia film made a huge reference to follow in his series "The Pico? which told the story of two addicts in different social conditions, as a famous son of a deputy abertxale and the other was the son of a decorated Civil Guard. These films tell stories of robberies, drugs and crime, and were admired figures and references to follow for a disenchanted public throughout the ineffectiveness of the political bureaucracy and all its springs as far as authority is concerned. There was too much social disenchantment, there was too much unemployment, youth was despised by the ubiquitous hierarchy and had no criminal or high output.

The young people then were drifting boats and put all their faith in myths come out of the cinema, as political leaders were too preoccupied with maintaining a democracy is still young yet. The films not only boasted quinquis their characters if they made them partakers of music that was rampant in the suburbs. A music born of flamenco and gypsy, since almost all actors in the suburbs that began its journey were Gypsies or emigrants from the marginalized Andalusia. Much later, when democracy seemed more settled in Spanish society, became a character screens, which, became quite famous, and he published major episodes of marginal and prison life. That character was "Heifer?, Juan José Moreno Cuenca, following a trail of robberies in this city, like its counterpart" the Torete?,? Angel Fernandez Franco, which displayed their alter egos in the film making endorsed by the streets of Barcelona.

There is a lot of music hosted by the film. They are for example: Chicane, Tony el Gitano, the Chungking (now called: Salazar Brothers), the frets, Camarón de la Isla, Calis, and many more, which then followed. But it is necessary to emphasize that all these young people, with long hair and jeans, all this youth, and Canute Flamenco rumba on the lips, all these young people was swallowed up by crowds and a maelstrom of death, prison and drug addiction I was lost in a time that seemed finished after his fame and his effervescent self-absorption of marginal semi-gods. Although these ashes reborn and has survived to these times with the same rough trail of death and low life. All this leads to a necessary education. It leads us to understand that these characters do not cease to exist. Because it is very curious that in these times of crisis and bad television have wanted to give back his tail in a Spain that seemed already asleep, but it is not. That Spain is immortal in the eyes of an audience who seeks and needs those neighborhood heroes to stay afloat in a society that challenges and constantly marginalized.
