LOS AFROINS Goza La Sala DESCRIPTION "The aptly named Goza La Salsa (Enjoy Salsa) is the second album by Los Afroins , the flagship salsa band of the obscure but beloved INS label (Industria Nacional Del Sonido Ltda., Medellín, Colombia). The combo's repertoire focused mostly on cover versions hit tunes from New York, Cuba. and Puerto Rico, both classic and contemporary, but for this record, their sophomore outing from 1975, their arrangements got tighter and there are more original compositions, which makes for a satisfying evolution in both style and content. Pianist Agustín 'El Conde' Martínez , who would later work with Joe Arroyo and Juan Piña , led the group and did some arranging, with studio session production by INS artistic director Alfredo 'Sabor' Linares . The vocals were handled by a pair of fresh-faced singers, Lucho Puerto Rico and Roy 'Tayrona' Betancourt , who would later go on to fame in the 1980s, the former with his own Lucho Puerto Rico Y Su Conjunto Sonero and Conjunto Son Del Barrio (both in collaboration with Alfredo Linares), and the latter with Willie Salcedo , Reales Brass De Colombia , and Los Caribes . Additional arrangements were by Luis Felipe Basto of Los Black Stars and Luis E Mosquera , while the rest of the band was made up of INS related studio musicians. Goza La Salsa is just as hard LOS AFROINS to find as their first record and contains ten bright and sassy salsa dura treasures that light up the dance floor with their incessant rhythms, syncopated trumpets and Goza La Sala trombone, and buoyant melodies. There are smoking covers of hits by Panama's Bush y sus Magníficos ('Salsa Al Pindin') and Bronx timbalero Orlando Label Marín and His Orchestra ('Está De Bala') as well as updated renditions of old VAMPISOUL Cuban chestnuts 'La Masacre' (written by Joseíto Fernández ) and 'Matusa' (composed by Francisco Repilado aka Compay Segundo and made famous by Duo Los Compadres ). This time around there are six excellent originals with Format the hottest pair being Lucho Puerto Rico 's theme song 'Puerto Rico Power' and LP the percussion-heavy final track, 'Alejada' sung and composed by Roy Catalog Number Betancourt . Just like the first album, the entire record makes for a very tasty and VAMPI 213LP satisfying party platter filled with guaguancó, mozambique, pachanga, descarga, EAN and bolero that deserves to be more accessible and better known by today's fans 8435008863623 of Colombian salsa..." -- Pablo E Yglesias , DJ Bongohead of Peace & Rhythm Presented here in facsimile artwork and pressed on 180 gram vinyl. x(4D5AA8*SQNQMN( TRACKLISTING A1.

This dance, now known as “on 2” mambo, or salsa, for its relationship to the clave, is the first uniquely North American form of vernacular Latino dance on the East Coast. This paper traces the New York mambo’s develop- ment from its beginnings at the Palladium Ballroom through the salsa and hustle years and up to the present time. The current period is characterized by increasing growth, commercialization, codification, and a blending with other modern, urban dance genres such as hip-hop.

    Reinterpreting the Global, Rearticulating the Local: Nueva Música Colombiana, Networks, Circulation, and Affect Simón Calle Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Simón Calle All rights reserved ABSTRACT Reinterpreting the Global, Rearticulating the Local: Nueva Música Colombiana, Networks, Circulation, and Affect Simón Calle This dissertation analyses identity formation through music among contemporary Colombian musicians. The work focuses on the emergence of musical fusions in Bogotá, which participant musicians and Colombian media have called “nueva música Colombiana” (new Colombian music). The term describes the work of bands that assimilate and transform North-American music genres such as jazz, rock, and hip-hop, and blend them with music historically associated with Afro-Colombian communities such as cumbia and currulao, to produce several popular and experimental musical styles. In the last decade, these new fusions have begun circulating outside Bogotá, becoming the distinctive sound of young Colombia domestically and internationally. The dissertation focuses on questions of musical circulation, affect, and taste as a means for articulating difference, working on the self, and generating attachments others and therefore social bonds and communities This dissertation considers musical fusion from an ontological perspective influenced by actor-network, non-representational, and assemblage theory. Such theories consider a fluid social world, which emerges from the web of associations between heterogeneous human and material entities. The dissertation traces the actions, interactions, and mediations between places, people, institutions, and recordings that enable the emergence of new Colombian music. In considering those associations, it places close attention to the affective relationships between people and music.

Siendo mucho más que sólo música diver- tida para bailar, la salsa muy pronto se perfiló como un emblema de la identidad de latinos, y fue usada también como un concepto cultural y socio-político en muchas partes de América Latina. No obstante este desarrollo, a mediados de los años 80 la música ha cambiado hasta llegar a ser vista incluso como algo contra- rrevolucionario y carente de calidad estética, expresividad y pretensión, que ya casi no merece llevar el nombre de “salsa”. Este artículo trata sobre debates esté- ticos acerca de calidades musicales en términos de autenticidad que se llevaron a cabo en Cali, Colombia. Se intenta llegar a una deconstrucción de nociones esencialistas de autenticidad, considerando que la salsa en Cali no se hizo popu- lar porque haya representado de manera auténtica a su gente, sino que se ha hecho popular, más bien, por permitirle a la gente construir nociones de autenti- cidad, verdad e identidad, poniendo sus propios estándares estéticos a su dispo- sición.
