Oh, bell ringers! Songs to keep us going – Lidia García
PLAN B
Tune in to this sentimental radio station and let's take a look back at the history of Spain.
Did you know that Chaplin stole the music for a couplet for one of his most famous films? Or that Nietzsche said that "the strongest thing" he had ever heard was a zarzuela by Federico Chueca? Have you ever considered the couplet as a strategy of female resistance?
The soundtrack of our grandmothers takes us by the hand through a not-so-distant past, where official discourse and subversion coexisted in a popular culture that helped us cope with life. Oh, bell ringers!, by Lidia García, is a journey through the stories behind these songs, filled with feminine transgressions, social class differences, and a yearning for freedom that, despite everything, seeped into every crevice it found. This formidable book brings us into the intricacies of a world of singers and bandits, seamstresses and manolas, and such formidable women as Raquel Meller, Concha Piquer, Lola Flores, Sara Montiel, and Rocío Jurado.
Lidia García García (Montealegre del Castillo, 1989) holds a PhD in Art History from the University of Murcia, with a thesis on copla and camp practices. She is the author of the podcast Oh, bell ringers! and the book of the same name (Somos B, 2022). He regularly collaborates on the programs Neighborhood cinema, from Spanish Television, Tomorrow more, from National Radio of Spain, and The window, from Cadena SER.
