- Title
Huellas "orientales" en la vida y el cante del Chozas de Jerez: análisis contrastante con el haiku y el zen.
- Authors
Taranco, David
- Abstract
This research paper seeks to identify -should they exist- the oriental monk features that would validate the use of that sobriquet to describe Juan José Vargas Vargas's life and singing. Better known as el Chozas, this unconventional cantaor managed to enter the history of flamenco even though he was not a professional singer. By analyzing both his lifestyle and his singular way of writing lyrics and by comparing his idiosyncrasy with the precepts of Zen Buddhism and the theoretical principles of Japanese haiku, we shall be able to determine whether those who either ironically or admiratively called him the oriental monk were right or not.
