  • The Society for American Music
    The Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference 1 RIDERS IN THE SKY 2008 Honorary Members Riders In The Sky are truly exceptional. By definition, empirical data, and critical acclaim, they stand “hats & shoulders” above the rest of the purveyors of C & W – “Comedy & Western!” For thirty years Riders In The Sky have been keepers of the flame passed on by the Sons of the Pioneers, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, reviving and revitalizing the genre. And while remaining true to the integrity of Western music, they have themselves become modern-day icons by branding the genre with their own legendary wacky humor and way-out Western wit, and all along encouraging buckaroos and buckarettes to live life “The Cowboy Way!” 2 Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference 3 Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference Hosted by Trinity University 27 February - 2 March 2008 San Antonio, Texas 2 Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference 3 4 Society for American Music Thirty-Fourth Annual Conference 5 Welcome to the 34th annual conference of the Society for American Music! This wonderful meeting is a historic watershed for our Society as we explore the musics of our neighbors to the South. Our honorary member this year is the award-winning group, Riders In The Sky, who will join the San Antonio Symphony for an unusual concert of American music (and comedy). We will undoubtedly have many new members attending this conference. I hope you will welcome them and make them feel “at home.” That’s what SAM is about! Many thanks to Kay Norton and her committee for their exceptional program and to Carl Leafstedt and his committee for their meticulous attention to the many challenges of local arrangements.

  • Soul Power, (2008, USA, Director Jeffrey Levy-Hinte)
    Soul Power, (2008, USA, Director Jeffrey Levy-Hinte) Review In 1974, as a warm-up to the legendary ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ heavy-weight title fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo), a music festival took place that brought together some of the finest African and African-American artists of the 1970s. Soul Power is a record of this event, and the sheer scale of musical talent showcased within it - from B. B. King, Miriam Makeba and Bill Withers to Tabu Ley Rochereaux and James Brown – is enough to demand one’s immediate attention. For fans of black music, this film is essential viewing. For those unfortunate, aurally impoverished people not already familiar with these musicians, Soul Power is about the best audio-visual introduction available (along with Wattstax (1973), Mel Stuart’s film of the ‘black Woodstock’ festival the year before). And yet this film was very nearly not available at all. Every second of footage in Soul Power was shot thirty-six years ago by Leon Gast’s crew for what was to become When We Were Kings (1996), the academy-award winning documentary of the Ali- Foreman bout. Tragically, the images of the festival were dropped in order to maintain the King’s focus on the fight and its socio-cultural and political significance. In rescuing the images that constitute Soul Power, then, Jeffrey Levy-Hinte and co. do a service to the history of black music on film. This was no light undertaking. ‘Zaire ‘74’, as the festival was named, took place over three days.

  • Guantanamera” Und Die Gefangenen Von Guantánamo
    aus: Versa. Zeitschrift für Politik und Kunst 3/2004, S. 42-49. (Dies ist eine gekürzte Fassung eines Aufsatzes aus "Musik in der Schule" 2/2002, S. 11-18, bei der noch die musikpraktische und szenische Erarbeitung des Inhaltes im Vordergrund stand. Das Buch "Kuba fürs Handgepäck" des Unionsverlages Zürich enthält den Auf- satz ebenfalls - allerdings noch weiter gekürzt - 2015 in 5. Auflage.) Abbildung 1: Die Provinz Guantánamo Wolfgang Martin Stroh Die “Guantanamera” und die Gefangenen von Guantánamo Wer kennt sie nicht, die „Guantanamera“! Im Musikunterricht wird sie durchgenommen, bei Latin- Festen erklingt sie, und allabendlich können Touristen sie in Havannas Kneipen hören und mitsingen. Die in den USA lebende kubanische Sängerin Celia Cruz1 hat sie ebenso im Repertoire wie Compay Segundo, der 2003 verstorbene Grandseigneur des „Buena Vista Social Club“2. Doch wer hat sich den Text schon einmal genauer angesehen, jene kryptischen Worte des Freiheitskämpfers und Dichters José Martí, dessen Gesicht den kubanischen Peso-Schein ziert? Und wer denkt, wenn er die Tages- nachrichten über die Taliban-Gefangenen auf dem US-Stützpunkt von Guantánamo liest, daran, dass „Guantanemera“ wörtlich heißt „die aus Guantánamo Stammende“. Falls den gefangenen Taliban, die seit Anfang 2002 jenseits aller Kriegs- und Zivilrechte festgehalten, psychisch gequält und verhört werden, einstmals ein Prozess gemacht wird und sie Guantánamo verlassen haben werden, werden sie sich „Guantanameros“ nennen können. Abbildung 2: Peso-Schein mit Martí-Bildnis 2 Was heißt „Guajira Guantanamera“? Guantánamo ist eine Provinz im Osten Kubas und Guajira ist eine ländliche Lied-Tanzform bzw. als Variante des „Punto Guajiro“ oder „Punto Cubano“ ein ländliches Lied.
