“…The influence of music on mood, through emotions and emotional states, is considered one of the most common reasons for listening to music (Juslin and Sloboda, 2011). According to Manolika et al (2021), the emotional and social use of music is predicted by gender. In the case of experimenting with positive emotions and escaping from the routine (such as stress reduction) and socialising with other people, women are more predisposed to listen to music than men.…”

PurposeThis research aims to demonstrate the possible link between the sociodemographic profile of visitors motivated by the visit to flamenco shows and the city of Córdoba (Spain), and the preferences and sensations regarding these experiences.Design/methodology/approachThe methodology used (multilayer perceptron) is based on the development of an artificial neural network.FindingsThe results show that the variables age and educational level are determining factors in the profile of the visitor. Also, as the level of income increases, so does the interest in flamenco, a fact that can be useful to determine the target audience for this type of shows.Originality/valueFlamenco is an art that originated in the Andalusian region that arouses the interest of the visitor due to its music, way of singing and dance. Flamenco is a popular art that excites and awakens the senses of those who attend this dance, song and guitar show. Its recognition as Intangible Heritage of Humanity by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) since 2010, makes it a tourist product that motivates visitors to travel to the city of Córdoba (Spain), being also one of flamenco's places of origin. Córdoba has this art in its tourist offer so that the identity of the city has two aspects: patrimonial and immaterial, among the flamenco highlighted.

“…Several studies have classified the purposes of using music into various categories [ 6 , 8 , 9 ]. However, in the present study, “using music” does not only refer to listening to music, but also to various human activities such as portraying a particular image to others by making them listen to music.…”

“…Although the classification pattern partially differs among these studies [ 6 , 8 , 9 ], Lonsdale and North [ 8 ] indicate that purposes of using music can be classified into six categories ( positive mood management, negative mood management, diversion, interpersonal relationships, personal identity , and surveillance ). We adopted this classification partially in our study, because it is popular and often used for reference.…”

“…However, the relationship between the cultural aspects of music, that is, the multiple roles it plays [6,8,9] and the choice of music consumption means, including subscription, remains unknown. There is no guarantee that the means of listening to music, which have been transformed by recording and distribution technologies, are capable of fulfilling the various roles that music originally possessed.…”

People listen to music for various purposes, and the roles that listeners expect from music can vary from person to person. In recent years, “subscription-based streaming services” (hereinafter referred to as “subscription”) have increased their share in the music market, thereby changing the way people listen to music. Though, the impact of this change on the role of music, is yet to be explored. This study analyzed survey data to reveal the relationship between the expected roles of music and the choice of music consumption means, including subscription. In particular, we obtained that a factor in the use of subscription is the expectation of constructing a personal identity. We also found that both purchase and live usage are affected by two factors: the expectation of fan identity construction and the expectation of artist contribution . This indicates that subscription is not an alternative to the existing means, but a new kind of consumption means in the music market. It was also found that subscription facilitates the construction of personal identity through music.

“…Given that both values and uses of music have been related to musical preferences (e.g., Chamorro-Premuzic & Furnham, 2007; Gardikiotis & Baltzis, 2012), and that uses of music vary as a function of values (Manolika, Baltzis, & Gardikiotis, 2021), we expect that uses of music may mediate, at least in part, the association between a person’s values and his or her preferences for specific types of music. To be specific, previous research in the psychology of aesthetics has consistently found that the more intellectually curious and creative people are, the more likely they are to appreciate the arts and experience music intellectually (e.g., Silvia, Fayn, Nusbaum, & Beaty, 2015).…”

Ample evidence suggests that people prefer types of music that allow them to portray an image to others, yet less is known about the process through which listeners’ characteristics influence musical preferences. This study, therefore, examined the association between values and musical preferences, and whether uses of music mediate, at least in part, this association in a sample of 364 participants. Multiple regressions revealed that values contributed differentially to the prediction of musical preferences. We also found that cognitive use of music partially mediated the association between openness to change values and preferences for music emphasizing both complexity and rebelliousness. Moreover, the association between conservation values, as well as self-transcendence values, and a preference for music emphasizing positive emotions was partially mediated by emotional use of music. These findings underscore the importance of accounting for specific uses of music when examining how musical preferences express the values of its listeners.
