  • PRESS RELEASE Jazz the Week up with Latin American Music From
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: 14 June 2019 Jazz the Week Up with Latin American Music from Michel Camilo and Ernest Martinez Izquierdo Swire Denim Series: Jazz with Michel Camilo (14 & 15 June) [14 June 2019, Hong Kong] The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HK Phil) is excited to have Dominican jazz pianist and composer Michel Camilo and his Grammy-award winning partner, conductor Ernest Martinez Izquierdo, bringing a jazzy evening to the Hong Kong audience. In this Latin jazz concert, Michel Camilo’s Piano Concerto no.1 will be presented in Hong Kong for the first time together with Gershwin’s all-time favourite Rhapsody in Blue at the Hong Kong City Hall Concert Hall on 14 & 15 June. Underpinning the evening is the Hong Kong premiere of Michel Camilo’s Piano Concerto no.1. The three-part fantasia showcases Camilo’s superhuman keyboard virtuosity with a tropical tint. The work encompasses traditions from his own background while echoing early 20th composers such as Stravinsky and Copland. Argentinean composer Ginastera is acclaimed for infusing national elements with modernism. Inspired by the life on the ranches in Argentina, the Estancia Suite has colourful orchestration and bold harmonies. Combined with a large complement of percussion instruments, conductor Ernest Martinez Izquierdo invites you on a dancing journey to Argentina. “While Camilo plays 'the ink' of Gershwin's scores [Rhapsody in Blue], he embellishes the works with grooves and accents.” --- Billboard The night will be concluded by the pulsating Rhapsody in Blue, Gershwin’s most popular concert work. With the trademark glissando opening by the clarinet, be ready to swing with Camilo’s groovy playing.

  • Historical Background
    Historical Background Lesson 3 The Historical Influences… How They Arrived in Argentina and Where the Dances’ Popularity is Concentrated Today The Chacarera History: WHAT INFLUENCES MADE THE CHACARERA WHAT IT IS TODAY? HOW DID THESE INFLUENCES MAKE THEIR WAY INTO ARGENTINA? The Chacarera was influenced by the pantomime dances (the Gallarda, the Canario, and the Zarabanda) that were performed in the theaters of Europe (Spain and France) in the 1500s and 1600s. Later, through the Spanish colonization of the Americas, the Chacarera spread from Peru into Argentina during the 1800s (19th century). As a result, the Chacarera was also influenced by the local Indian culture (indigenous people) of the area. Today, it is enjoyed by all social classes, in both rural and urban areas. It has spread throughout the entire country except in the region of Patagonia. Popularity is concentrated in which provinces? It is especially popular in Santiago del Estero, Tucuman, Salta, Jujuy, Catamarca, La Rioja and Cordoba. These provinces are located in the Northwest, Cuyo, and Pampas regions of Argentina. There are many variations of the dance that are influenced by each of the provinces (examples: The Santiaguena, The Tucumana, The Cordobesa) *variations do not change the essence of the dance The Gato History: WHAT INFLUENCES MADE THE GATO WHAT IT IS TODAY? HOW DID THESE INFLUENCES MAKE THEIR WAY INTO ARGENTINA? The Gato was danced in many Central and South American countries including Mexico, Peru, Chile, Uruguay, and Paraguay, however, it gained tremendous popularity in Argentina. The Gato has a very similar historical background as the other playfully mischievous dances (very similar to the Chacarera).

Heller, PhD Hybridity and Identity in the Pan-American Jazz Piano Tradition William D. Scott, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2019 The term Latin jazz has often been employed by record labels, critics, and musicians alike to denote idioms ranging from Afro-Cuban music, to Brazilian samba and bossa nova, and more broadly to Latin American fusions with jazz. While many of these genres have coexisted under the Latin jazz heading in one manifestation or another, Panamanian pianist Danilo Pérez uses the expression “Pan-American jazz” to account for both the Afro-Cuban jazz tradition and non-Cuban Latin American fusions with jazz. Throughout this dissertation, I unpack the notion of Pan-American jazz from a variety of theoretical perspectives including Latinx identity discourse, transcription and musical analysis, and hybridity theory.
