You could also attach to it rattles or bells to be agitated with the beating of the hands or a stick timbre to accompany the instrument. Its coat or top cover is composed by a series of tables strung by notches and which appear to be loose, those tablets are the ones which strike and produce the characteristic sound of the instrument. Sometimes the lower cover is not added and the sound intensity is higher. Its size is approximately one meter long, 40 inches wide, 15 to 20 inches tall.

  • STATEWIDE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM SUPPORTS CALIFORNIA's CULTURAL TRADITIONS THROUGH 17 ARTIST TEAMS Since 1999, the Alliance Fo
    STATEWIDE APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM SUPPORTS CALIFORNIA’S CULTURAL TRADITIONS THROUGH 17 ARTIST TEAMS Since 1999, the Alliance for California Traditional Arts’ (ACTA’s) Apprenticeship Program has supported California’s cultural traditions with 348 contracts to outstanding folk and traditional artists and practitioners. Now entering its 19th cycle, ACTA’s Apprenticeship Program encourages the continuity of the state’s living cultural heritage by contracting exemplary master artists to offer intensive training and mentorship to qualified apprentices. ACTA’s Executive Director, Amy Kitchener says, “The Apprenticeship Program is at the heart of our mission, with a focus on the generational transfer of knowledge. The program not only sustains and grows traditions; it also reveals all the different ways of knowing within the many cultural communities of our state.” Master artist Snigdha Venkataramani (L) with her apprentice Anagaa Nathan (R; photo courtesy of Suri Photography). Contracts of $3,000 are made with California-based master artists to cover master artist’s fees, supplies and travel. Participants work closely with ACTA staff to develop and document the apprenticeships, culminating in opportunities to publicly share results of their work. The 2019 Apprenticeship Program cohort of 34 artists (17 pairs) reflects California’s breadth of cultural diversity and intergenerational learning, ranging from master artists in their 60s to a 15-year old apprentice, spanning from San Diego to Humboldt Counties. Thriving traditions supported through these apprenticeships reflect indigenous California cultural practices that include Yurok, Karuk, and Hupa basketry. Others celebrate traditions which have taken root in California, and originally hail from Peru, Africa, Bolivia, India, Iran, Armenia, China, Japan, Philippines, Korea, Mexico, and Vietnam.

  • Cartagena Y El Pasodoble
    REVISTA DE INVESTIGACIÓN SOBRE FLAMENCO La madrugá Nº15, Diciembre 2018, ISSN 1989-6042 Cartagena y el pasodoble Benito Martínez del Baño Universidad Complutense de Madrid Enviado: 13-12-2018 Aceptado: 20-12-2018 Resumen El pasodoble es un tipo de composición musical menor con títulos de excepción, páginas musicales de gran factura melódica, fuerza expresiva y estructura perfecta. Muchas de sus composiciones han logrado inmortalizar el nombre de sus autores y el insuperable atractivo de dotar emoción nuestras fiestas, patronales y bravas. Podemos incluirlo como subgénero dentro de la composición zarzuelística, y encontrarlo de muy distintas maneras, como en tiempo de marchas aceleradas, alegres y bulliciosas pasadas del coro por la escena, breves y brillantes introducciones orquestales, también para bandas de música, y finales de cuadro o de acto, incluso con tintes flamencos. Asimismo títulos imprescindibles han sido compuestos en Cartagena y algunas de las más ilustres voces de esta tierra lo han cantado y otras aun lo incluyen en su repertorio. Palabras clave: pasodoble, Cartagena, flamenco, música popular. Abstract The pasodoble is a type of minor musical composition with exceptional titles, musical pages of great melodic design, expressive force and perfect structure. Many of his compositions have managed to immortalize the name of their authors and the insurmountable attraction of giving emotion to our festivities, patronal and brave. We can include it as a subgenre within the zarzuela composition, and find it in very different ways, such as in time of accelerated marches, happy and boisterous past of the choir for the scene, brief and brilliant orchestral introductions, also for bands, and end of picture or act, even with flamenco overtones.
