The 'Animeros de Caravaca' are the survival of the old Brotherhood of Souls that already existed in the sixteenth century and was recovered in 1976 after several decades of inactivity.
The publication, from an approach that combines the social with the musical, analyzes the importance of this group in all the southeast of Spain, since according to the author, "it treasures a musical heritage, both material and immaterial, that can be traced back to the XVII-XVIII centuries, apart from the great value that oral tradition has as a mode of transmission ".
On the other hand, the Animeros of Caravaca de la Cruz were the first collective of the gangs of all the southeast of the peninsula to undergo a process of revitalization of their ritual.
From the Caravaqueña publishing house 'Gollarín' they hope that this work is an important step forward in the study of this type of manifestations that are so relevant for the cultural heritage of the area that includes territories of Murcia, Albacete, Granada, Almería and Jaén.
With the publication of this book Gollarín delves into a new genre of publications, a publication of high historical-scientific content on the musical origin of music from oral tradition while confirming his interest in works that help us clarify and preserve our cultural past.
