Spanish Punk with David Vila Diéguez

In 1975, Spain emerged from the long shadow
of Franco’s dictatorship, stumbling toward democracy amid uncertainty, unrest, and unhealed wounds. In the same moment, a raw, raucous, and radically irreverent cultural force exploded onto the scene: punk.



Spanish Punk: Screaming for Democracy in a Postdictatorial State is the first in-depth study to trace the uniquely political trajectory of punk in post-Franco Spain. 



David Vila Diéguez is a filmmaker, scholar and musician, singing in the Latinx alternative band the Rumba Madre. Join him for in-person afternoon of discussion, song, and a book signing. 

An RSVP is not necessary, but encouraged.
