Andalusian migration in the 1960's and 1970's was expanded in different parts of Europe, and has developed the presence of Flamenco dancing, playing and singing in many different countries. During two and three generations, Flamenco has been deeply enrooted also among people who did not have had any previous connection with the original migrant places. The presence of Flamenco has created an interesting cultural phenomenon in these countries that has not been totally studied. This paper is based on an ethnographic research in Brussels and Flanders, explores the details of the Flamenco culture in these places, and identifies the processes of heritage construction that takes place in this area. The paper looks into the ways that Flamenco artists use to legitimate themselves and to occupy the space in the settlement of this heritage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents a case study based on the analysis of processes of socialization in a group of descendents of migrant families from Senegal with residence in Cataluña, Spain. I describe the patterns of socialization in order to establish a frame of reference to understand their ways of life and the impact of the migratory process in the society of destination. The paper is focused on the family relationships, in their particularities as socio-cultural group and in the aspects of their migratory processes. It is underlined the subjective dimension that implicates the recovery, by means of the ethnography, the socialization processes of the descendents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
