Other uses of folklore were the practical exploitation of models, symbols, and characters of traditional poetry to present an epic image of Franco and his regime and the recourse to folk music presentations abroad with diplomatic and propagandistic purposes.Peer reviewedHoughton Mifflin CompanyOrtiz García, Carmen [0000-0002-8978-0650]Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]201120111999info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://hdl.handle.net/10261/41945reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
