La escena nostálgica neobakala: transformación y ritualización musical de la cultura juvenil bakala.

The Bakalas were a youth culture that showed up in some Spanish cities, Madrid among them. After disappearing, this culture has been recreated by neobakalas. This article, based on ethnography and in-depth interviews, explores how neobakalas from Madrid have transformed the bakala culture into a music scene that ritualizes some of the features of the bakalas, especially its songs, giving birth to a music genre. Furthermore, the case of bakalas and neobakalas will allow us to question the way Bennet (2012, 2013) has approached music scenes formed by adults. This work therefore interrogates the applicability of the concepts of ageing cultures (Bennet y Hodkinson 2012; Bennet, 2013) and cultural memory for the neobakala scene. The case of neobakalas will also allow us to problematize how St John (1999, 2011, 2014) analyses the ritual practices of the music scenes related to electronic music. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
