This work situates flamenco, anti-flamenquismo, and national identities in Barcelona during the three decades leading up to the Civil War and unravels what the contested musical spaces meant for Catalan nationalists. Through their attacks on cafés cantantes and their promotion of the sardana and choral societies, Catalan nationalists posited an identity that denied the industrial system that Catalans themselves created and that effaced the problems that came with it. In the end, however, the Catalan nationalists’ attempts to render flamenco performers and their performances obsolete failed because foreigners and profit-seeking Catalans and Andalusians kept stoking the flames of an exoticized Barcelona., Este artículo analiza el flamenco, el anti-flamenquismo y las identidades nacionales en Barcelona durante las tres décadas anteriores a la Guerra Civil. Así, estudia los significados de los espacios musicales impugnados por los nacionalistas catalanes. A través de los ataques a los cafés cantantes y de la promoción de la sardana y los orfeones, los catalanistas promovieron una identidad que negaba el sistema industrial creado en Cataluña y trataba de eliminar los problemas que venían con él. Al final, sin embargo, los intentos de los nacionalistas catalanes para que pasaran de moda los intérpretes e interpretaciones del flamenco fracasaron a causa de su éxito. Tanto los extranjeros como los catalanes y andaluces en busca de lucro contribuyeron a mantener viva la llama de una Barcelona exótica.
