Johnson, PhD, Department of Music Dissertation Advisor: Michael C. Heller, PhD, Department of Music ii Copyright © by William D. Scott 2019 iii Michael C. 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.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN Guadalupe San Miguel, Jr. Musica Tejana: More Than Conjuntos and Orquestas INTRODUCTION Manuel Pena has argued that musica tejana is comprised of two major musical ensembles and their styles, the conjunto and the orquesta.1 These are not the only ones in the community. Others have formed and become dominant at different historical periods in the 20th century. The only ensemble that has survived during this century, however, has been the conjunto. CONJUNTO: TRADITIONAL AND PROGRESSIVE The conjunto originated on both sides of the border and began as a two-person outfit in the 1920s, one played the accordion and the other played a string instrument. Its repertoire, initially, was quite broad and included a host of traditional dances and songs popular throughout 215 Mexico. The conjunto expanded to four persons and four instruments in the post-WWII period.

  • Music, Movement, Performance, and Power in the Conjunto Dancehalls of the Texas—Mexico Borderlands
    Amor en Aztlán: Music, Movement, Performance, and Power in the Conjunto Dancehalls of the Texas—Mexico Borderlands by Wayne Alejandro Wolbert A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Laura E. Pérez, Chair Professor David Montejano Professor Paola Bacchetta Summer 2019 © Wayne Alejandro Wolbert 2019 Abstract Amor en Aztlán: Music, Movement, Performance, and Power in the Conjunto Dancehalls of the Texas—Mexico Borderlands by Wayne Alejandro Wolbert Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Laura E. Pérez, Chair This dissertation examines the Texas Mexican musical genre known as conjunto and its concomitant social world. In this work I situate conjunto within a broader context of Mexican American cultural production, Texas Mexican popular music, and the shared histories of the U.S.- Mexico borderlands. As a social history, the dissertation traces the development of the genre and its practitioners across the twentieth century to the present. I examine interactions of power; expressions of identity; and constructions of race, class, and gender through movement (dance), performance (instrumentation and playing), and place (the dancehall or nite club) within and around San Antonio and South Texas. I argue that conjunto is an embodiment of Xicanx thought and knowledge, an everyday act of resistance and reaffirmation. 1 Dedicación

  • Tejano Masters Los Texmaniacs Explore the Beauty of U.S
    Tejano Masters Los Texmaniacs Explore The Beauty Of U.S.-Mexican Border Life With Collection of Conjunto-Based Songs 'Cruzando Borders' Due Out 5/11 on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings Smithsonian Folkways Recordings is proud to release 'Cruzando Borders' from the GRAMMY Award-winning conjunto group Los Texmaniacs, including dynamic feature performances from fellow GRAMMY winners Lyle Lovett, Rick Fuentes and Rick Treviño. This is the band's third album for the label, following 2012's 'Texas Towns & Tex-Mex Sounds' and 2009's 'Borders y Bailes.' On the 14-song 'Cruzando Borders,' Los Texmaniacs remain close to their conjunto roots, and the result is a joyous, poignant work that grows in meaning with each listen. The release is a fitting addition to Smithsonian Folkways' 70th year anniversary celebration. Listen to a 3-song sampler. The band is quick to point out that 'Cruzando Borders' is more than music; it was crafted to send a message. Prompted by negative public rhetoric about the U.S.-Mexican border and Mexican culture, and inspired by the transcendent brotherhood and exquisite beauty of the border life they have experienced, Los Texmaniacs have created an album that asserts pride in both their native Mexican culture and U.S. nationhood. Bajo sexto master Max Baca, who cut his teeth with the hit-making, crossover band The Texas Tornados, founded Los Texmaniacs in 1997. He sought to form a group that espoused the traditions of Tejano music he grew up with and combined them with elements of blues, rock, country and jazz. He enlisted his nephew, Josh Baca, a highly skilled accordion player who, on Max's urging, absorbed the fundamental style and repertoire of the deep conjunto tradition - old-time Tejano polkas, redovas, chotises(schottisches), waltzes and huapangos - to create what Josh calls his "Texas gumbo - my own posole" (Mexican hominy soup).

  • Research Presentations by Students and Recent Graduates Saturday, October 10 2:45–3:45 P.M. “More Mexican Than the Mexicans
    Research Presentations by Students and Recent Graduates Saturday, October 10 2:45–3:45 p.m. “More Mexican Than the Mexicans and More American Than the Americans” — Selena Quintanilla-Perez and the Cultivation of the Female Tejano Spirit Kirsten Westerman (University of Cincinnati, College–Conservatory of Music) Mentor: Rachel Mann (University of Texas Rio Grande Valley) Mere months before being murdered by her fan-club president, Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla- Perez was being celebrated as, “the next Gloria Estefan” and the immense, rising popularity of Tejano music in the United States was dubbed a direct result of the singer’s meteoric rise. Indeed, despite the majority of her career existing within the Tejano musical sphere, Selena herself lived within multiple worlds: she was born in Corpus Christi, but toured extensively throughout Mexico; nearly all of her original music was in Spanish despite it being her second language; and she was a woman navigating a largely male-driven genre. Despite the sensation surrounding her life and death, scholarship on the “Mexican Madonna” remains scarce, excepting Deborah Paredez’s groundbreaking work, Selenidad: Selena, Latinos, and the Performance of Memory, which largely considers the singer’s posthumous iconization. Indeed, much of her memorialization is a direct result of her horrific and untimely death, yet Selena crafted an image that nearly ensured an immense impact following her attempted crossover into the American mainstream. This paper investigates Selena’s calculated public image and persona within the those seemingly dichotic worlds and considers how she transcended societal boundaries within Tejano and American mainstream musical spheres. Feminism in Tejano Music Sasha Linn Arteaga (University of New Mexico) Mentor: Jennifer Sterling Snodgrass (Appalachian State University) This paper addresses the lack of feminist scholarship on female Tejano artists.
