  • El Choclo "El Choclo" (Translation: "The Corn Cob") Is a Tango Composed by Argentine Musician Ángel Villoldo in 1893
    Study In Melody & World Music; El Choclo "El Choclo" (translation: "The Corn Cob") is a Tango composed by Argentine musician Ángel Villoldo in 1893. Not the most romantic of titles "El Choclo" refers to either the owner of a nightclub's nickname or actually to corn which is featured in a famous Argentinian dish served t said nightclub. Although it has been a band arranger's favorite and musician's standard tune for well over 100 years, "El Choclo” remains one of the most popular Tangos in Argentina. Originally written as a strict Tango with the actual Habanero rhythm as a constant in the bass, "El Choclo" has been recorded countless time by several famous, iconic figures in the music business such as Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Billy Eckstine and Julio Iglesias to name a few, not including of course the countless Argentinean and Tango records available. As a natural result of popularization, the original Tango (Habanero) feel is often replaced with a more syncopated and modern Latin rhythm. The tune also several dramatic sets of lyrics in both Spanish and English and is known by an alternate title: “Kiss Of Fire”! Kiss Of Fire I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying And though I see the danger, sll the flame grows higher I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire Just like a torch, you set the soul within me burning I must go on, I'm on this road of no returning And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire I can't resist

  • Song & Music in the Movement
    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • Administration of Barack Obama, 2014 Remarks at the General Electric
    Administration of Barack Obama, 2014 Remarks at the General Electric Company Gas Engines Plant in Waukesha, Wisconsin January 30, 2014 The President. Thank you. Hello, hello, hello. Well, it's good to be in Wisconsin! It's good to be in Waukesha. Now, I've always appreciated the hospitality that Packer Country gives a Bears fan. [Laughter] I mean, I remember when I was up here campaigning the first time, and there were some "Cheeseheads for Obama"—[laughter]—and I felt pretty good about that. Neither of us feel that good about our seasons, but that's okay. There's always next year. We have three of your outstanding elected officials with us here today. We've got Congresswoman Gwen Moore; we've got the mayor of Milwaukee, Tom Barrett; and we have Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. And we've got your former Governor, Jim Doyle. And it's also good to see—I had a chance to see backstage somebody who was a huge part of my economic team before she became chancellor of the University of Wisconsin—Madison: Dr. Becky Blank is here. And we just want to give Becky a big round of applause. She said she missed Washington, but she doesn't really. [Laughter] She was just saying that to be nice. I'm so proud of Reggie, and I'm grateful for the terrific introduction. I want to thank Jim for showing me around the plant. I have come here to talk with you about something that I spent a lot of time on in my State of the Union Address on Tuesday: the idea that no matter who you are, if you are willing to work hard, if you're willing to take on responsibility, you can get ahead, the idea of opportunity here in America.

    Authentic Assertions, Commercial Concessions: Race, Nation, and Popular Culture in Cuban New York City and Miami, 1940-1960 by Christina D. Abreu A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (American Culture) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof Associate Professor Richard Turits Associate Professor Yeidy Rivero Associate Professor Anthony P. Mora © Christina D. Abreu 2012 For my parents. ii Acknowledgments Not a single word of this dissertation would have made it to paper without the support of an incredible community of teachers, mentors, colleagues, and friends at the University of Michigan. I am forever grateful to my dissertation committee: Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof, Richard Turits, Yeidy Rivero, and Anthony Mora. Jesse, your careful and critical reading of my chapters challenged me to think more critically and to write with more precision and clarity. From very early on, you treated me as a peer and have always helped put things – from preliminary exams and research plans to the ups and downs of the job market – in perspective. Your advice and example has made me a better writer and a better historian, and for that I thank you. Richard, your confidence in my work has been a constant source of encouragement. Thank you for helping me to realize that I had something important to say. Yeidy, your willingness to join my dissertation committee before you even arrived on campus says a great deal about your intellectual generosity. ¡Mil Gracias! Anthony, watching you in the classroom and interact with students offered me an opportunity to see a great teacher in action.
