La Música Bailable Del Caribe: Una Forma De Acercamiento Entre El Campo Y La Ciudad
Perspectivas Rurales. Nueva época, Año 12, N° 24, ISSN: 1409-3251 La música bailable del caribe: una forma de acercamiento entre el campo y la ciudad. The dance music of the Caribbean: a form of rapprochement between the countryside and the city. Edgardo I. Garrido-Pérez Investigador Asociado, Herbario y Jardín Botánico Universidad Autónoma de Chiriquí (UNACHI), Panamá Correo: http://edgardoga.jimdo.com Resumen La música bailable del Caribe desafía la permanente subestimación de lo rural por lo urbano. Muchas canciones urbanas idealizan al campesino como libre, enamorado, autosuficiente, combativo, justiciero y audaz; respetable aunque no siempre moralmente puro. Otras canciones evocan paisajes y sonidos rurales, o denuncian la injusticia social mientras exaltan al campesino rebelde. En su forma de vendedor de frutas, yerbas, o chamán, el campesino que visita esporádicamente la ciudad es alabada como portador de beneficios para el cuerpo y para el alma. Con todas estas valoraciones, los músicos urbanos del Caribe contribuyeron a la aceptación de sus colegas músicos del campo ante una audiencia citadina que antes los rechazaba. Esto complementa el esfuerzo de los propios músicos rurales que interactúan con igual y respetuoso afecto con sus bailadores en los conciertos que realizan tanto en las aldeas más remotas como en las ciudades más modernas. Allí los músicos observan cómo reaccionan sus bailadores ante determinados sonidos creativamente articulados, controlando así la calidad. En medio de las presiones que enfrenta el campo es necesario que lo urbano respete y cuide mejor la riqueza cultural rural; los conciertos bailables son un instrumento para ello y hay que evitar que desaparezcan. -

Cubaneo In Latin Piano: A Parametric Approach To Gesture, Texture, And Motivic Variation Abstract ABSTRACT CUBANEO IN LATIN PIANO: A PARAMETRIC APPROACH TO GESTURE, TEXTURE, AND MOTIVIC VARIATION COPYRIGHT Orlando Enrique Fiol 2018 Dr. Carol A. Muller Over the past century of recorded evidence, Cuban popular music has undergone great stylistic changes, especially regarding the piano tumbao. Hybridity in the Cuban/Latin context has taken place on different levels to varying extents involving instruments, genres, melody, harmony, rhythm, and musical structures. This hybridity has involved melding, fusing, borrowing, repurposing, adopting, adapting, and substituting. But quantifying and pinpointing these processes has been difficult because each variable or parameter embodies a history and a walking archive of sonic aesthetics. In an attempt to classify and quantify precise parameters involved in hybridity, this dissertation presents a paradigmatic model, organizing music into vocabularies, repertories, and abstract procedures. Cuba's pianistic vocabularies are used very interactively, depending on genre, composite ensemble texture, vocal timbre, performing venue, and personal taste. -

GARRIDO-PÉREZ1 Introduction Even before the 1980s, the efforts for the conservation of wildlife and the introduc- tion of environmental topics started to get into the mass media (BOYKOFF and BOYKOFF, 2007), school and pre-school education (PERALES and GARCÍA GRANADA, 1999, and the political and business arenas (MEFFE and VIEDERMAN, 1995) in order to reach both the great majority of people and the decision makers. Encouraging results have been obtained, such as the addition of three million hectares of land for conserving forests in Latin America; yet high rates of deforestation remain as a challenge there (FAO, 2012). Problems of the agricultural sector interrupted the links between nature on the one hand and the millions of people previously related to it on the other hand (e.g. -

Pensando La Negritud En La Música Popular Puertorriqueña
(Re) pensando la negritud en la música popular puertorriqueña BÁRBARA I. ABADÍA-REXACH Departamento de Español y Portugués Universidad de Texas en Austin RESUMEN Este artículo explora la manera en que se construye la negritud a través de la música popular puertorriqueña. Ausculta cómo los afropuertorriqueños interpretan y representan su negritud. Por medio del análisis de letras musicales y entrevistas a músicos puertorriqueños negros, se busca trazar un mapa sobre la racialización en esta diáspora africana del Caribe. Canciones como: Piel canela, El negro bembón, Las caras lindas, Tan bueno que era, Si Dios fuera negro, Carbonerito, Capullo y Sorullo y El africano contienen frases e imágenes que parecen reproducir lo peor del discurso racista. Algunas de estas letras, compuestas por músicos puertorriqueños negros, perpetúan los estereotipos de índole racial. Los discursos sobre raza operan desde diversos registros y son complicadas producciones de sentido. En fin, se intenta explicar cómo la racialización en tanto matriz de producción de sentidos, es factor fundamental en la producción de los discursos musicales que estructuran un imaginario de la negritud de los afroboricuas. [Palabras clave: raza, racialización, representación, mediación, identidad, negritud, música popular, Puerto Rico.] ... 8 REVISTA DE CIENCIAS SOCIALES 21 (2009): 8-43 ABSTRACT This article explores how Puerto Rican popular music constructs Blackness. The author examines how Afro Puerto Ricans interpret and represent their Blackness. Racialization in Afro Caribbean Diaspora is explored through the analysis of song lyrics and interviews to Black Puerto Rican musicians. Songs such as: Piel canela, El negro bembón, Las caras lindas, Tan bueno que era, Si Dios fuera negro, Carbonerito, Capullo y Sorullo and El africano have phrases and images that seem to reproduce the worst of racist discourse and, some of these lyrics, composed by Black Puerto Rican musicians, perpetuate racial stereotypes. -
Rafael Cortijo Audición Mayo
AMIGOS DEL SON CALI Audición Mayo 6 de 2011 “CORTIJO Y SU COMBO Y VIENTOS MOVIDOS PARA EL BAILADOR” RAFAEL CORTIJO Percusionista, Compositor y Director Fecha de nacimiento: 11 de diciembre de 1928 , Parada 21, Santurce, Puerto Rico Falleció el 3 de octubre de 1982 en Santurce, Puerto Rico En el diccionario de la música afroantillana, el nombre de Rafael Cortijo es sinónimo de leyenda. Una de sus figuras cumbres y más veneradas. Líder de una de las organizaciones rítmicas más admiradas durante la segunda mitad del Siglo 20: Cortijo y Su Combo. Maestro del tambor caribeño. Inspirador de dos generaciones de cultores de la rumba y de los puertorriqueñísimos ritmos de bomba y plena. Este personaje irrepetible, de origen muy humilde, era hijo de Juan Cortijo Clemente y Juana Verdejo, quienes también procrearon a Francisco, Cecilia, Rosa y Gilberto. Contaba 11 años cuando el trompetista Paulino Flores lo introdujo al fascinante universo de la música caribeña enseñándole lo elemental en la ejecu ción del bongó. En lo sucesivo, sin maestro, aprendió a ejecutar el timbal, las tumbadoras – o congas – y algunos acordes en la guitarra. A los 14 emprendió su carrera musical uniéndose, como bongosero, al Conjunto Hermanas Soustache (1943-1944). Posteriormente (1944-1947) figuró en el Conjunto Monterrey, de Monchito Muley y Juan Palm «Mentoquín». Durante el período 1947-1953 trabajó de manera alternada con las orquestas de Frank Madera, Armando Castro, Augusto Coén y Miguelito Miranda, así como con la Son ora Boricua de Daniel Santos y los conjuntos acompañantes de Bobby Capó, Myrta Silva, Ruth Fernández y Miguelito Valdés, culminando aquella etapa con el dirigido por el pianista Mario Román en La Riviera Night Club, en el Viejo San Juan. -

Salsa’s unprecedented international popularity resulted from the confluence of several distinct social conditions and historical events: the Puerto Rican dilemma of colonial status, the civil rights and black pride movements in the U.S., the Cuban revolution’s promise of upliftment for the lower classes, urban migration, and the need for a Latino alter- native to the hegemony of Anglo rock. In this paper I will argue that salsa’s popularity needs to be understood in terms of a musical sound and a social style that responded effectively to these circumstances, captured beautifully in the film Our Latin Thing. I propose, furthermore, that the colonial dilemma of Puerto Ricans in the island and in New York motivated their creative contributions to salsa, which they experienced as a form expressive liberation and decolonization. -
“Orgulloso De Mi Caserío Y De Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón by Petra Raquel Rivera a Disser
“Orgulloso de mi Caserío y de Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón By Petra Raquel Rivera A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Percy C. Hintzen, Chair Professor Leigh Raiford Professor Joceylne Guilbault Spring 2010 “Orgulloso de mi Caserío y de Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón © 2010 By Petra Raquel Rivera Abstract “Orgulloso de mi Caserío y de Quien Soy”: Race, Place, and Space in Puerto Rican Reggaetón by Petra Raquel Rivera Doctor of Philosophy in African American Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Percy C. Hintzen, Chair My dissertation examines entanglements of race, place, gender, and class in Puerto Rican reggaetón. Based on ethnographic and archival research in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and in New York, New York, I argue that Puerto Rican youth engage with an African diasporic space via their participation in the popular music reggaetón. By African diasporic space, I refer to the process by which local groups incorporate diasporic resources such as cultural practices or icons from other sites in the African diaspora into new expressions of blackness that respond to their localized experiences of racial exclusion. Participation in African diasporic space not only facilitates cultural exchange across different African diasporic sites, but it also exposes local communities in these sites to new understandings and expressions of blackness from other places. As one manifestation of these processes in Puerto Rico, reggaetón refutes the hegemonic construction of Puerto Rican national identity as a “racial democracy.” Similar to countries such as Brazil and Cuba, the discourse of racial democracy in Puerto Rico posits that Puerto Ricans are descendents of European, African, and indigenous ancestors. -
About Miguel Zenón
About Miguel Zenón “This young musician and composer is at once reestablishing the artistic, cultural, and social tradition of jazz while creating an entirely new jazz language for the 21st century.” -- MacArthur Foundation, 2008. Multiple Grammy Nominee and Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow Miguel Zenón represents a select group of musicians who have masterfully balanced and blended the often-contradictory poles of innovation and tradition. Widely considered as one of the most groundbreaking and influential saxophonists of his generation, he has also developed a unique voice as a composer and as a conceptualist, concentrating his efforts on perfecting a fine mix between Latin American Folkloric Music and Jazz. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Zenón has built a distinguished career as a leader, releasing twelve albums under his own name. In addition, he has crafted his artistic identity by dividing his time equally between working with older jazz masters and the music’s younger innovators --irrespective of styles and genres. The list of musicians Zenón has toured and/or recorded with includes: The SFJAZZ Collective, Charlie Haden, Fred Hersch, Kenny Werner, David Sánchez, Danilo Pérez, The Village Vanguard Orchestra, Kurt Elling, Guillermo Klein & Los Guachos, The Jeff Ballard Trio, Antonio Sánchez, David Gilmore, Paoli Mejías, Brian Lynch, Jason Lindner, Dan Tepfer, Miles Okazaki, Dan Weiss, Ray Barreto, Andy Montañez, Jerry Gonzalez & The Fort Apache Band, The Mingus Big Band, Bobby Hutcherson and Steve Coleman. As a composer he has been commissioned by SFJAZZ, The New York State Council for the Arts, Chamber Music America, NYO JAZZ, The Logan Center for The Arts, The Hyde Park Jazz Festival, The John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, MIT, Jazz Reach, Peak Performances, PRISM Quartet and many of his peers.
