UC Davis Grad Student Wins Ethnomusicology Prize for “(Re)locating Flamenco”

Tony Dumas, a UC Davis doctoral candidate in ethnomusicology, won the Marnie Dilling Prize for best student paper presented at the Northern California Chapter of the Society for Ethnomusicology (NCCSEM) annual meeting, held in March of this year in Santa Cruz. His paper “(Re)Locating Flamenco: A Northern California Case Study” was judged by a panel of three according to a 100-point scoring rubric that includes categories for quality, organization, use of examples, and audience engagement.

The paper was based on Dumas’s dissertation research, which investigates the history of flamenco in Northern California and the evolution of flamenco fusions, and interrogates definitions of flamenco based on notions of “purity.” His dissertation, “(Re)Locating Flamenco: Negotiating Heritage and Hybridity in Transnational Styles,” is scheduled for completion in 2011.
