Marina de Haan - www.marinadehaan.nl - [email protected] De Jonge Journalist Gloria Estefan is een zangeres van wereldformaat Door Marina de Haan Gloria Estefan. Haar naam heeft eigenlijk geen uitleg nodig. Ze heeft zoveel prachtige hits op haar naam staan en nog steeds weet ze ons te verbazen. Nu doet ze dat met haar nieuwe album 90 Millas. Zij is de koningin van de salsa en zal dat nog blijven ook. Maakten we kennis met haar toen ze Oye Mi Canto en Mi Tierra zong, nu eert ze haar geboorteland Cuba met onder meer No Llores en Me Odio. Een tijd hebben we niets van Estefan vernomen, maar haar sound is ze niet kwijt geraakt. Sterker nog, die is gegroeid. Ze komt met een pracht album. 90 Millas (90 mijl) is de afstand tussen Cuba en het meest zuidelijke puntje van Florida, Key West. Met deze Spaanstalige plaat eert ze Cubaanse muzikanten, zoals de Buena Vista Social Club. Nu zingt ze met de beste latin artiesten van deze tijd: Jose Feliciano, Sheila E. en Carlos Santana. Zelfs Andy Garcia is van de partij. Het nummer Lo Nuestro ontroert. Ruim twee minuten is het een mooie kleine ballad met prachtige zang en gitaarmuziek. Een nummer dat ontzettend puur is. In een seconde ontstaat een heel ander nummer. Van een ballad tot een up-tempo nummer. Zo weet Estefan je bij de les te houden. Het eerste nummer van haar plaat is Me Odio. Dat is tevens de eerste single van de cd. Een goede keus, want het nummer blijft gemakkelijk hangen en is voorzien van geweldige muzikale begeleiding. Santana horen we overduidelijk op No llores. Zijn intro maakt het nummer helemaal af en zijn sound past goed bij Estefan. Een heerlijk dansnummer, waarmee haar mannelijke koor ook goed tot zijn recht komt. Ook op Pintame De Colores is haar koor in topvorm. De sound doet af en toe denken aan Montuno, waarin het koor ook een belangrijke rol speelt. Andere nummers die ze zingt zijn Esta Fiesta No Va’ Acabar, 90 Millas, Esperando en A Bailar. Estefan en haar man Emilio hebben twee jaar aan de cd gewerkt. Het was het wachten meer dan waard, want 90 Millas is een tropisch album om naar te blijven luisteren. Om nog maar niet te spreken over de bonus dvd. .

Rhythm Is Gonna Get You”-- Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine (1987) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Ilan Stavans (Guest Post)*
“Rhythm Is Gonna Get You”-- Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine (1987) Added to the National Registry: 2017 Essay by Ilan Stavans (guest post)* “Let It Loose” album cover 45rpm single Enrique Garcia Gloria Estefan’s “Rhythm Is Gonna Get You,” which represents the apex of Cuban influence on American R&B, also serves as a thermometer for Latino assimilation to the United States, especially in Miami, which was always Estefan’s base. The song came about shortly before her bus accident in 1990, as she was touring, an event that marked her profoundly, physically and creatively. As such, it represents her “early” style and approach, in comparison with a later period in which Estefan would invoke her Cuban roots and upbringing in more concrete fashion. Along with “Conga,” “Bad Boy,” “Get on Your Feet,” “Party Time,” and about half a dozen more, the song made Estefan internationally known. Performed together with Estefan’s group, Miami Sound Machine, founded by her husband Emilio Estefan, it is part of the immensely successful album “Let It Loose” (1987), which went multi-platinum. The song itself was Top 5 on the US Billboard Top 100. It came to define R&B and become a staple of the post-disco disco era because of its eminently danceable qualities. Indeed, most people associate it with an Americanized version of Latin twirl. Estefan is originally from Havana (she was born in 1957). She and her family—her father was a motor escort for dictator Fulgencio Batista’s wife—were part of a massive wave of mostly upper- and middle-class Cubans who moved to the United States in the 1960s, absconding Fidel Castro’s Communist regime.

Heritage Month
HARRIS BEACH RECOGNIZES NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH National Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States honors the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America. We’re participating at Harris Beach by spotlighting interesting Hispanic public figures, and facts about different countries, and testing your language skills. As our focus on National Hispanic Heritage Month continues, this week we focus on a figure from the world of sports: Roberto Clemente, who is known as much for his accomplishments as humanitarian as he is for his feats on the field of play. ROBERTO CLEMENTE Roberto Enrique Clemente Walker of Puerto Rico, born August 18, 1934, has the distinction of being the first Latin American and Caribbean player to be inducted in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He played right field over 18 seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Clemente’s untimely death established the precedent that, as an alternative to the five-year retirement period, a player who has been deceased for at least six months is eligible for entry into the Hall of Fame. Clemente was the youngest of 7 children and was raised in Barrio San Antón, Carolina, Puerto Rico. During his childhood, his father worked as foreman of sugar crops located in the municipality and, because the family’s resources were limited, Clemente worked alongside his father in the fields by loading and unloading trucks. Clemente was a track and field star and Olympic hopeful before deciding to turn his full attention to baseball. His interest in baseball showed itself early on in childhood with Clemente often times playing against neighboring barrios.

“Standardization of Cultural Products in Latin Pop-Music”
“STANDARDIZATION OF CULTURAL PRODUCTS IN LATIN POP-MUSIC” RESEARCH PAPER PREPARED FOR THE 28TH ANNUAL ILASSA CONFERENCE ON LATIN AMERICA TO BE HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN FROM FEBRUARY 7TH THROUGH FEBRUARY 9TH ISRAEL ALONSO CHAVEZ LATIN AMERICAN AND CARIBBEAN CENTER FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY MIAMI, FLORIDA [email protected] 2008 Introduction 2 This work represents the initial stage of a project whose seed germinated thanks in part to what seems to be an ongoing debate between two different approaches to music in the sociological field. The first approach puts much of its emphasis on the functional dimension of music. That is, on the social functions it performs, enables and enhances; but also on its economic functionality. The subservience of music to economic ends does not imply a loss in terms of creativity for the representatives of this perspective. The second perspective does not deny that music fulfills certain economic and social functions. Yet, unlike the former, the latter warns against the atrophy of creativity that can be brought about by the models implented by “the culture industries”, to use Theodor W. Adorno’s concept. My concern here lies with the question of whether the claims made by this important member of the Frankfurt school about the products of “the culture industries” can be substantiated with empirical evidence. I want to investigate whether popular music (Latin pop music in this case) is indeed, as Adorno says, just another standardized product fashioned after the formulas of “the culture industries”. This work, however, forms part of a broader preoccupation with the issue of musical style, what causes it and what makes it change.
