    The Battle of Los Angeles: the Cultural Politics of Chicana/O Music in the Greater Eastside

    Battle of Los Angeles | 719 The Battle of Los Angeles: The Cultural Politics of Chicana/o Music in the Greater Eastside Victor Hugo Viesca Chicanos are, when you call yourself that, you know your history, you know where you came from, you know where you need to go. —Yoatl, Aztlán Underground1 I try to find my own Chicana sensibility in the dance. —Martha Gonzales, Quetzal2 ast Los Angeles is the center of a flourishing musical cultural scene with a renewed “Chicana/o” sensibility.3 This scene is being led by a E collective of socially conscious and politically active Latin-fusion bands that emerged in the 1990s, including Aztlán Underground, Blues Experiment, Lysa Flores, Ozomatli, Ollin, Quetzal, Quinto Sol, Slowrider, and Yeska. These groups compose original songs that weave together the sounds of the Ameri- cas, from soul, samba, and the son jarocho to reggae, rumba, and rap. Multilin- gual lyrics in Spanish, English, Cálo, or Nahuatl that speak to themes of urban exile, indigenous identity, and multiracial unity are layered over the music to produce a sonic Chicana/o imaginary of the global city in the twenty-first century.4 Several of the bands within the scene have released full-length al- bums on their own independent record labels such as Xicano Records and Film (Aztlán Underground and Quinto Sol), De Volada Records (Slowrider and Blues Experiment), and Lysa Flores’s Bring Your Love Records (see dis- cography). The bands often collaborate with one another, producing or play- ing on each other’s records and touring on the same bill.

    Interview by Umegatani Yuta for Breakcore Guidebook

    6/3/2019 Interview: breakcore guidebook japan | aaron spectre interview by umegatani yuta for breakcore guidebook when was "drumcorps" started? how did this project start? what is the origin of the name? Drumcorps started when I was living in Berlin. The name was inspired by my time playing snare drum in marching bands, and symbolically it’s about the power and precision of a team of people aligned to a single cause. After several years playing warehouse parties all over Europe, the DJ-oriented scene was starting to feel a bit creatively limiting. What works in a club is a pretty specific and small range of emotions, and it felt like time to explore, to get free, to branch out and try something new. Sometimes you want to address a specific subject in detail. This means lyrics. Sometimes you want some live upfront instruments. For me this meant guitar, and a different approach to live sets. Sometimes you make a quiet tune which wouldn’t work so well in the context of DJ land. It was time for a new project. Enter Drumcorps, an experiment to see if I could finally make what I always wanted to hear from my days playing in bands - solid songwriting mixed with an upfront intensity, human heart & soul mixed with machine precision. It was a way to bring some more articulate themes into the work, and to bring more variety of sound. The name just came into my head while in the shower one day, which is where the best ideas sometimes bubble up.

    ozomatli album download Ozomatli. Ozomatli is a hip-hop group formed in 1996 in Los Angeles, known as much for their extremely vocal activist viewpoints as their wide array of musical styles. Ozomatli take their name from the Nahuatl word for the Aztec astrological symbol of the monkey, which is also a god of dance, fire, the new harvest, and music. The members of the band met through their affiliation with the Peace and Justice Center of Los Angeles, and their first performance was for picketers during a strike. They began their career in the Los Angeles and San Diego/Mexico border-area club scene. The members of the band met through their affiliation with the Peace and Justice Center of Los Angeles, and their first performance was for picketers during a strike. They began their career in the Los Angeles and San Diego/Mexico border-area club scene. Following an appearance in Vibe magazine, the group broke into the mainstream, releasing Ozomatli, their self titled debut album, in June 1998 under the Almo Sounds label. Ozomatli's second album, Embrace The Chaos, was released on the inauspicious date of September 11, 2001. Although many American bands cancelled their concerts, Ozomatli gained some recognition for continuing to play their concerts, all the while continuing their commitment to social justice and progressive politics, in addition to the rising anti-war movement. Afterwards, the band made a further commitment to a new direction in music, embracing North African and Arab musical styles in addition to their own. The musical styles of many cultures are blended on 2004's Street Signs, with vocals mentioning the Yakuza crossing paths with gnawa trance; or Moroccan sintir virtuoso Hassan Hakmoun, joining the band along with Les Yeux Noirs and the Prague Symphony.

    Resonances of Chindon-Ya: Sound, Space, and Social Difference in Contemporary Japan

    Resonances of Chindon-ya: Sound, Space, and Social Difference in Contemporary Japan By Marié Abe A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jocelyne Guilbault, Co-chair Professor Bonnie Wade, Co-chair Professor Alan Tansman Professor Gillian Hart Fall 2010 Resonances of Chindon-ya: Sound, Space, and Social Difference in Contemporary Japan © 2010 by Marié Abe Abstract Resonances of Chindon-ya: Sound, Space, and Social Difference in Contemporary Japan by Marié Abe Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Jocelyne Guilbault, Co-chair Professor Bonnie Wade, Co-chair This dissertation examines the intersection of sound, public space, and social difference in contemporary Japanese urban life through ethnographic analysis of a Japanese street musical practice called chindon-ya. Chindon-ya, which dates back to the 1850s, refers to groups of outlandishly costumed street musicians in Japan who are hired to advertise an employer’s business. After decades of inactivity, chindon-ya has been undergoing a resurgence since the early 1990s. Despite being labeled as anachronistic and obscure, some chindon-ya troupes today have achieved financial success generating up to one million dollars in annual income, while chindon-ya aesthetics has been taken up by rock, jazz, and experimental musicians and refashioned into hybridized musical practices. In the context of long-term economic downturn, growing socioeconomic gaps, and visually and sonically saturated urban streets, I ask how such an “outdated” means of advertisement has not only proven itself to be financially viable, but has also enabled widely varying sentiments, musical styles, translocal relations, forms of business enterprise, and political aspirations to articulate with one another.
