State legislature. La Banda Morisca, presented by Robert Browning Associates, is a project born of experimentation, innovation and research in the Andalusian traditions. The recovery of both literary and musical of the ancient al- Andalus and the Mediterranean fringe heritage, has been and is the key player in the consolidation of the band. The training and experience of its components –JoseMari Cala, JuanMi Cabral, José Cabral, Antonio Torres y Andrés T. Rodríguez– has been determinant for the molding of their success, brought by a unique artistic identity in the field of folk and roots music. Composed of musicians from different backgrounds who have collaborated with many world music bands, including Radio Tarifa, La Banda Morisca evokes the cultural heritage of ancient al-Andalus and its reflection in the sounds of the current Andalusia, the Maghreb, and the Near East. The group features a singer and four musicians on traditional and contemporary instruments, including oud (lute), guitarra Morisca (Moorish guitar), tarota (oboe), banjo, bass, percussion, saxophones and drums.

Singing the Memory of Sepharad: Traditional Sephardic Song and Its Interpretation
Singing the Memory of Sepharad: Traditional Sephardic Song and its Interpretation Katerina Garcia Abstract The transmission and interpretation of Sephardic songs is inextricably linked to Sephardic culture, and to this day represents a powerful marker of identity. It is the aim of this article to first contextualise traditional Sephardic song by outlining a brief introduction into the cultural background of the Sephardic Diaspora. Subsequently, I will introduce the various secular forms and genres of Sephardic traditional song, focusing on the modes of their interpretation by both contemporary Sephardic and non-Sephardic musicians. In doing so, I will propose a typology of performance approaches, with regards to the role that the re-imagining of Sepharad as a mythical land of the past plays in this process. Keywords: Sephardic music, Judeo-Spanish song, interpretation Introduction The Sephardic Jews, or Sephardim1, represent the second largest ethnic division within Judaism, the first one being the Ashkenazim, or German and Eastern-European Jews. In the narrowest sense of the term, Sephardim are the descendants of the Jews expelled from the Iberian Peninsula at the end of the 15th century (Spain, 1492; Portugal, 1496), and those who assimilated culturally to them in the main areas of Sephardic settlement post-1492 The areas of the Sephardic diaspora are indicated in Figure 1: Figure 1 – The Sephardic Diaspora (Sephiha and Weinstock 1997) Ethnomusicology Ireland 5 (2017) Garcia 172 For the present discussion of traditional Sephardic music, only the areas of the Eastern Mediterranean (incl. the present-day state of Israel), the Balkan Peninsula and North Africa (the former Ottoman Empire) are relevant, as it is here that a specific Sephardic language and culture develop.

Article / Artículo / Artigo An Ethnomusicological Approach to Orientalism: The Musical and Historical Study of the Moors and Christians in Villena (Spain) Luis Gimenez Amoros, University of the Western Cape, Cape Town, South Africa [email protected] Abstract This article examines the historical and musical forms of Orientalism found in the festival popularly known as Moros y cristianos (the Moors and Christians) in Spain and, in particular, the town of Villena in the province of Alicante. Since the 12th century, this traditional festival is mostly celebrated in towns along the eastern Mediterranean coast of Spain which includes Villena. The contextualization of this festival through Orientalism provides an understanding of the exoticization of Muslim-Spanish music through the música festera (the music composed for Moros y cristianos), a musical style with more than four thousand pieces composed by more than three hundred Spanish composers over the course of the last two centuries. This article reveals by conducting ethnomusicological studies using Orientalism, there is a possibility of reconsidering the colonial narrative embedded in the cultural and musical symbolism of música festera. Keywords: Orientalism, Moros y cristianos, música festera, Spanish-Muslim history, Ethnomusicology Un enfoque etnomusicológico del orientalismo: el estudio musical e histórico de las fiestas de Moros y cristianos en Villena (España) Resumen Este artículo examina aspectos históricos y musicales de las fiestas de Moros y cristianos a través del concepto del orientalismo en España y, en particular, en la ciudad de Villena, provincia de Alicante. Desde el siglo XII, estas fiestas tradicionales se celebran sobre todo en las ciudades españolas que se encuentran alrededor de la cuenca mediterránea, incluida la ciudad de Villena.

The Trecento Lute

Indeed, its delicate sound was more suitable in the inner chambers of courts and the quiet gardens of bourgeois villas than in the uproarious battle fields and the busy streets of towns. KEYWORDS Lute, Trecento, Italy, Bas instrument, Giullari any studies on the origin of the lute begin with ancient Mesopota- mian, Egyptian, Greek, or Roman musical instruments that carry a fingerboard (either long or short) over which various numbers M 2 of strings stretch. The Arabic ud, first widely introduced into Europe by the Moors during their conquest of Spain in the eighth century, has been suggest- ed to be the direct ancestor of the lute. If this is the case, not much is known about when, where, and how the European lute evolved from the ud. The presence of Arabs in the Iberian Peninsula and their cultivation of musical instruments during the middle ages suggest that a variety of instruments were made by Arab craftsmen in Spain.

“Allí Sale Gritando La Guitarra Morisca”: Nueva Aproximación a Una Enumeración De Instrumentos En El Libro De Buen Amor
“Allí sale gritando la guitarra morisca”: Nueva aproximación a una enumeración de instrumentos en el Libro de buen amor Daniel Rodrigo BENITO SANZ Universidad Complutense de Madrid [email protected] Las obras maestras suelen deleitar a los lectores y martirizar a los críticos que intentan aprehender desde su perspectiva histórica e ideológica la pluralidad de sentidos que, al parecer, yacen ocultos tras la corteza de la literalidad1. La alegría y el buen humor triunfan en este libro vario, rico, colorido e ingenioso, que parece negarse a brindarnos sus últimos secretos y que entendería en su profunda esencia el público castellano que se congregaba en torno de los juglares que lo recitarían ora con dicción maliciosa, ora con solemnidad doctrinal...2 RESUMEN A la luz de varios ejemplos de iconografía musical de la época y de estudios musicológicos modernos, podemos demostrar que el Arcipreste de Hita era conocedor de la música instrumental de su tiempo, su puesta en escena, convenciones y ejecución, tal como la entendían los juglares. Para ello someteremos un mismo pasaje de siete estrofas a distintos tipos de análisis filológico y musicológico. Partiremos del enfoque tradicional, que enfatiza la identificación y descripción de instrumentos, enriqueciéndolo con el que se ocupa de sus agrupaciones, para demostrar que: algunos instrumentos se mencionan y describen de forma ___________ 1 A.

Dosier La Banda Morisca ENG.Pdf
la banda morisca La Banda Morisca celebrates 10 years of existence with the presentation of their third album: Gitana Mora. La Banda Morisca has always been a meeting point between flamenco, Mediterranean music, Andalusian rock and North African rhythms. All this can be seen in Gitana Mora, a project that recovers the memory of Andalusian women and makes visible all that immaterial legacy that these women left us and made us what we are today. From New York to Samarkand, from Paris to the desert of Merzouga, from Havana to Cesky Krumlov... they have been able to conquer and dazzle on many stages during all these years, becoming one of the groups in our country with the greatest projection in the field of world music. Between 2016 and 2019 they have been very successful with their Algarabya. Among the most important international stages are the SXSW in Austin twice, the Flamenco Festival in New York also twice, the Festival Arabe de Montrèal, the Small World music center in Toronto, New England Conservatory in Boston, the Old Town of Folk Music in Chicago, Miami Dade College and the Flamenco Festival in Miami, the Festival Flamenco de Chicago (Instituto Cervantes), the Havana World Music Festival (Cuba), the Merzouga International Festival (Morocco), l’Institut du Monde Arabe de Paris, the Festival des Musiques Métisses de Angoulême (France), the Spanish Pavilion at the Astana Expo 2017 - AECID (Kazakhstan), the Sharq Taronalari Festival in Samarkand (Uzbekistan), where they won the prize of the jury of the festival, WOMEX, being the group supported by Sounds from Spain in 2017, Katowice; the EuroRadio Folk representing RN3; the Fira Mediterrania; the Krems Festival (Austria) or the Sziget Festival in Budapest.

Many postcolonial readings have aimed primarily at subverting the hierarchical colonial dichotomy and rewriting subaltern histories. Given the status of our current geopolitical environment, some critics have already started questioning the relevance of postcolonialism as a representative discourse today. As the site of diverse historical, literary, cultural, and artistic convergences, Tangier has been and continues to be the quintessential postcolonial space for created hybridities and cultural pluralism.
