Biography
Matthew Machin-Autenrieth is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the Faculty of Music, University of Cambridge, UK. He graduated with a Ph.D. in Ethnomusicology from the School of Music, Cardiff University in 2013. His research concerns flamenco, regionalism, politics and multiculturalism in Southern Spain.
"Although this work comes from the academic field, the local and regional problems and tensions that it reveals would justify its translation into Spanish, and even its inclusion as part of curricular readings beyond flamencology. Flamenco, Regionalism and Musical Heritage in Southern Spain would surely enrich the critical (and self-critical) spirit of amateurs and professionals as well as those in charge of institutions regarding the use of a unique musical tradition that should not be used as the means to mend territorial inequalities."
- Bernat Jiménez de Cisneros Puig, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain
"This is an important and timely study that not only draws on a long and growing tradition of flamenco studies but
advances new directions for research. It will be standard reading for graduate seminars in ethnomusicology and the Mediterranean region. Thorough, well-crafted, and engaging, it will serve as a foundation text for future research not only on flamenco but also on the institutional bases for cultural politics in Europe more generally."- Jonathan H, Shannon, Hunter College, CUNY, US
