Después Del Escandalo El nuevo disco de Michael Jackson ya es un asunto público. El 16 de junio se abrió la veda a todo tipo de opiniones, análisis, simplificaciones, debates, discusiones, frases publicitarias y demás palabrería. No acabará ahí la cosa, «HIS-Tory. Past, Present and Future. Book I», que como todo el mundo sabrá a estas horas, es un compendio de viejos éxitos y nuevas canciones, supone el test definitivo al grado de perdón, aceptación o credulidad a un escándalo sexual y su posterior lavado de imagen, protagonizado por el mayor fenómeno social que ha proporcionado la música popular en las últimas décadas.

In the second half of the 1970s, Brian Eno, Larry Fast, Mickey Hart, Stomu Yamashta and many other musicians blurred the lines between rock and avantgarde. Brian Eno (34), ex-keyboardist for Roxy Music, changed the course of rock music at least three times. The experiment of fusing pop and electronics on Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy (sep 1974 - nov 1974) changed the very notion of what a "pop song" is. Eno took cheap melodies (the kind that are used at the music-hall, on television commercials, by nursery rhymes) and added a strong rhythmic base and counterpoint of synthesizer. The result was similar to the novelty numbers and the "bubblegum" music of the early 1960s, but it had the charisma of sheer post-modernist genius. Eno had invented meta-pop music: avantgarde music that employs elements of pop music. He continued the experiment on Another Green World (aug 1975 - sep 1975), but then changed its perspective on Before And After Science (? 1977 - dec 1977). Here Eno's catchy ditties acquired a sinister quality.

  • Strange Vocality in ‘World Music’ and Beyond1
    Volume 5 (2011) ISSN 1751-7788 Planet Voice: Strange Vocality in ‘World Music’ and Beyond1 Amy Frishkey University of California, Los Angeles Unfettered by lyrics – at least any you can understand – you luxuriate in sound. Perhaps your thoughts drift with the bright, timeless voices. Maybe, for a moment, you experience the mystery. – Pam Lambert on the choir Le Mystère des Voix Bulgares2 Modern Arab artists are taking traditional melodies, rhythms, instrumentation and singing styles and superimposing them over Western pop styles. The results are irresistible blends that do not require the listener to understand the lyrics or comprehend the subtleties of the singing. This is clearly music for celebration and, of course, dancing. – Zein Al-Jundi and Jacob Edgar on the compilation Arabic Groove3 History bypassed these women long ago; theirs is the life of eternal duties, ancient rhythms and primal emotions. […] And so, when they sing, you feel they are singing truth. They don’t really have another reason to sing – they’ve had no show-biz careers and won’t get them now. So these songs are like field recordings, which are then layered and processed and yet somehow still sound authentic. – Jesse Kornbluth on the CD Umalali: The Garifuna Women’s Project4 Suyá learned other people’s songs, sang them, and in a sense became them. The Suyá might be Upper Xingu Indians at one time, their own ancestors at another, and an American anthropologist or a Brazilian peasant through their song and movements at yet other times. – Anthony Seeger, in Why Suyá Sing5 Introduction The first three quotations presented here describe an attitude toward vocality 1 within the world music marketing category, from its inception in 1987 to the present day, which nearly exhibits the proportions of genre.

    Seeing Sound, Hearing Pictures Seeing Through Sound, Jon Hassell (Ndeya Records) Jon Hassell is currently the recipient of an online fundraising campaign to pay his medical bills, a sorry state of affairs for a musician of his influence and accomplishment. Starting as an experimental composer in the company of Terry Riley, La Monte Young and Stockhausen, Hassell later moved into making 'fourth world music' on the back of hearing Miles Davis and studying Indian ragas with Pandit Pran Nath. Fourth world music envisaged a mix of world musics, aiming for rich musical diversity and inclusive cultural hybridity rather than any sterility, appropriation or commodification. Hassell's first album, Vernal Equinox, found him playing his treated trumpet over tapes of the ocean, and working with numerous musicians in an innovative musical fusion. Later he would work with or contribute to albums by Eno, David Sylvian, Talking Heads, Techno Animal, Peter Gabriel, Hector Zazou, Tears for Fears and many others, as well as continuing to release his own music, which he would later discuss in terms of 'bluescreen'. This would liken sampling and digital composition to greenscreen techniques in film-making. Hassell has had a strong musical presence in the 21st century, with very different CD releases on ECM (Last night the moon came dropping its clothes in the street) and Label Bleu (Maarifa Street), as well as occasional live events and the official release of a much bootlegged New York concert from 1989, packaged with a reissue of his album City and various remixes/versions of tracks by Hassell, who has never been afraid to layer, adapt and play over and play with his own music.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Garifuna Popular Music “Renewed”: Authenticity, Tradition, and Belonging in Garifuna World Music A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Amy Lynn Frishkey 2016 © Copyright by Amy Lynn Frishkey 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Garifuna Popular Music “Renewed”: Authenticity, Tradition, and Belonging in Garifuna World Music by Amy Lynn Frishkey Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Roger Savage, Chair For almost thirty years, the electronically driven dance music punta rock remained the only popular music genre indigenous to the Garifuna, an African-Amerindian group based along Central America’s Caribbean coast with U.S. diasporic communities. In 2007, however, a new genre ushered in by the award-winning album Wátina (I Called Out) by Andy Palacio and the Garifuna Collective effectively displaced punta rock as the musical icon of Garifuna identity and modernity to the outside world and attained much broader appeal. What I term Garifuna World Music (GWM) arose from the vision of Belizean producer Ivan Duran and Belizean Garifuna punta rock star Palacio to import the acoustic and reflective emphases of traditional music into the commercial realm in order to promote cultural and linguistic preservation internationally. However, they also conceived the genre as a means for securing Garifuna music a foothold within the world music industry, presenting a sustainable music career as a viable option for ii Garifuna musicians for the first time. Periodic tourist witnessing of secular traditional song- dance performances has long been a component of community life, yet the effects of musically dovetailing tradition with Euro-Anglo cosmopolitan desires are newly felt.

  • The Aesthetics of the Global Imagination: Reflections on World Music in the 1990S
    The Aesthetics of the Global Imagination: Reflections on World Music in the 1990s Veit Erlmann Presumably it is diference that kills otherness. Baudrillard 1990: 131 orld music is popularly believed to be a “roots” phenomenon, an Wexpression of national and ethnic identities and multicultural diversity. Yet, as the analysis of recent examples reveals, world music could also be more properly considered as a typical product of consumer society. The term “world music” itself had emerged in the mid-l980s, initially as little more than a handy term for musics as vastly heterogeneous as lambada, Paul Simon’s Graceland, and Mory Kante’s Ykkt Yikt. By 1988, however, “worldbeat”-as world music is more commonly known in the U.S.-was described by Newsweek magazine as the fastest growing sector of the international pop market.’ Although, in the mid-l990s, this expansive trend has somewhat abated, elements of world music have now crossed over into a vast range of other musics, such as avant-garde jazz, John Zorn’s work comes to mind here, some recent New Age albums like Andreas Vollenweider’s Book of Roses and Hector Zazou’s Les nouvelles poly- phonies corses or even dancefloor and hip hop. This broadening of the phenome- non, it seems to me, directs attention to a number of issues which have been insufficiently explored in earlier discussions of world music. 1. “Pop takes a global spin.” Newsweek, 13 June 1988, pp. 72-74.

  • Ep 2 Culture in Everyday Life Transcript
    Ep 2 Culture in Everyday Life Transcript Voiceover [00:00:03] This podcast is brought to you by the University of Aberdeen. Simon Gall [00:00:41] Hello, and a very warm welcome to the Culture and Everyday Life podcast produced by the Elphinstone Institute at the University of Aberdeen. The Elphinstone Institute is a centre for the study of ethnology, folklore and ethnomusicology with a research and public engagement agreement covering the northeast and north of Scotland. Through interaction with researchers and practitioners, this podcast explores cultural phenomena in everyday life. This recording of the 2016 David Buchan Lecture comes from the Elphinstone Institute archives. It was delivered by Valdimir Hafstein Professor in the Department of Ethnology, Folklore and Museum Studies at the University of Iceland since completing his PhD at the University of California, Berkeley, in 2004 he has published a number of articles and edited volumes on folklore, intangible heritage, international heritage, politics, cultural property and copyright in traditional knowledge. His work has been translated into French, Italian, Portuguese, Croatian and Danish. Valdemar is former president of the International Society for Ethnology and Folklore SEF and a former chair of the Icelandic Commission for UNESCO. His lecture, Copywriting Tradition in the Internet Age, Creativity, Authorship and Folklore, explores the entanglements between creativity, authorship, digital culture and copyright law. The lectures, abstract reads as follows should be copyright culture. How can one compose a 100-year old traditional lullaby, who own Cinderella and what would the Brothers Grimm say, what is the historical provenance of such catch 22? While we may not resolve them in this talk, the lessons we learn from unpicking them can inform our thinking about creativity and agency in contemporary culture.

    WEGART NOVINKY – MÁJ 2013 Jaga Jazzist – Live with Britten Sinfonia (Ninja Tune) Nórske zoskupenie Jaga Jazzist prichádza so živou nahrávkou koncertu, na ktorom sa v roku 2012 spojili so svetoznámym orchestrom Britten Sinfonia. Repertoár, mapujúci takmer celú diskografiu kapely, pozostáva z deviatich skladieb, ktoré boli prearanžované pre potreby ve ľkého orchestra. Tento 35-členný sobáš je vitálnym dokumentom zachytávajúcim obrovský skladate ľský potenciál Larsa Horntvetha a takisto živelnú energiu prúdiacu na koncertoch Jaga Jazzist. CD: 14,00 € 2LP: 19,00 € Bonobo – The North Borders (Ninja Tune) Takmer tri roky po vydaní majstrovského kúsku Black Sands prichádza Simon Green alias Bonobo s novým albumom. Prirodzeným vývojom a rozširovaním elektronickej palety Simon dosiahol, že The North Borders je poriadne dlhým krokom vpred. Súdržný, tématický, zvu čný, návykový a perfektne formovaný. Deluxe edícia obsahuje 7x 10" vinyl v štvorfarebných obaloch, CD album, 10"x10" booklet a je balená v špeciálnom pevnom boxe. CD: 14,00 € 2LP: 19,00 € Deluxe 10” boxset: 45 € My Bloody Valentine – MBV (My Bloody Valentine) "Popri MBV všetci ostatní post-rockoví experimentalisti vyzerajú ako triviálni diletanti." - The Independent on Sunday (UK) "Album znie úžasne a znamená ohromujúci návrat." - BBC Music Z ni čoho ni č, ke ď už tomu málokto veril, zjavil sa nový album dnes už legendárnej írskej kapely My Bloody Valentine - majstrov alternatívneho rocku a vynálezcov zvuku neskôr zvaného shoegazing, ktorí napriek tomu, že sami nedosiahli ve ľký komer čný úspech, za ostatných 30 rokov ovplyvnili celé zástupy kapiel, pokúšajúcich sa znie ť ako oni. Faktom zostáva, že nikto neznie ako My Bloody Valentine.
