Chapter 2 Another Look at the History of Tango The Intimate Connection of Rural ·and Urban Music in Argentina at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century Julia Chindemi and Pablo Vila Since the late nineteenth century, popular music has actively participated in the formation of different identities in Argentine society, becoming a very relevant discourse in the production, not only of significant subjectivities, but also of emotional and affective agencies. In the imaginary of the majority of Argentines, the tango is identified as "music of the city," fundame ntally linked to the city of Buenos Aires and its neighborhoods. In this imaginary, the music of the capital of the country is distinguished from the music of the provinces (including the province of Buenos Aires), which has been called campera, musica criolla, native, folk music, etc.

  • John Turci-Escobar
    “Era de lo más pobre y de lo más lindo”: Reconsidering Jorge Luis Borges’s Views on the Tango1 John Turci-Escobar There is an anecdote that is frequently put forth as evidence that Borges knew absolutely nothing about music; that for all his refined craft and vaunted erudition, when it concerned the tango, Argentina’s most ac- claimed modern writer was deaf. This anecdote appears in a book writ- ten by the Argentine jazz guitarist, Oscar López Ruiz. In these informative and entertaining memoirs, López Ruiz chronicles his twenty-five years playing, recording, and touring with the man who revolutionized the tango, Astor Piazzolla (Piazzolla 196-99). The careers of Borges and Piaz- zolla intersected in the mid 1960s, when the former agreed to contribute 1 I would like to thank the following friends, colleagues, and institutions for their advice and assistance in this project: María Andrea Campetella, Alfredo Alonso Este- noz, Julio Schvartzman, Omar García Brunelli, Nicolás Lucero, William G.

The compositions that resulted from this agreement form the basis of the 1965 LP album entitled El tango. The anecdote where Borges betrays his defective musical ear concerns an exchange that took place during one of the recording sessions for this album. López Ruiz recounts this exchange, and the events leading up to it, in a section with a title that is misleadingly salacious: “Borges y la chica”.

  • Una Aproximación a Las Bases Metafóricas Del Lunfardo
    Una aproximación a las bases metafóricas del lunfardo DANIELA SOLEDAD GONZÁLEZ Universidad Nacional de Cuyo – CONICET Resumen En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX se creó una especie de subcultura, en la cual hizo su aparición el fenómeno llamado lunfardo, que puede observarse hoy en muchas letras de tangos, en obras literarias y en el mismo lenguaje actual. En este trabajo se intentará demostrar que el lunfardo se encuentra realmente vigente en la actualidad porque es el resultado de operaciones conceptuales metafóricas. En primer lugar, se revisará el estado actual de los estudios sobre el lunfardo. En segundo lugar, se lo definirá. A continuación, se hará una breve caracterización del mismo observando en él la presencia de italianismos y su influencia en el tango y la literatura. En el apartado siguiente, se hablará de la presencia del lunfardo en el habla cotidiana. Luego, se comentarán los procesos de formación del lunfardo. Seguidamente, se hará una breve referencia al concepto de metáfora conceptual (Lakoff y Johnson 1980) y al de metáfora gramatical (Halliday 1985, 2004) para justificar que los procesos de formación de palabras lunfardas pueden reducirse, en última instancia, a la metáfora. Finalmente, se presentará una conclusión que reúne los aspectos trabajados. Palabras clave: lunfardo, habla cotidiana, metáfora conceptual, metáfora gramatical. Abstract In the second half of the nineteenth century, a kind of subculture was created, where the phenomenon called lunfardo appeared. It can be observed today in many tango lyrics, in literature and –most importantly– in today’s language. This paper aims to demonstrate that the lunfardo is really in force today because it is a kind of metaphor, because it is the result of a universal cognitive operation.

  • Borges Y Piazzolla: Un Desencuentro Por Milonga1
    XXVII Jornadas de Investigadores del Instituto de Literatura Hispanoamericana Facultad de Filosofía y Letras (UBA) - Buenos Aires, marzo de 2015 Borges y Piazzolla: un desencuentro por milonga1 Isabel Stratta – Omar García Brunelli Nos referiremos en este trabajo a la colaboración de Jorge Luis Borges con Astor Piazzolla, concretada en la edición de un disco titulado “El tango” 2, de 1965.3 Nuestro propósito general es dilucidar de qué tango habla Borges en sus frecuentes menciones al género.4 Borges se acerca al tango como objeto cultural y como símbolo; pero esto no excluye las emociones, como se ve sobre todo en una conferencia en la que se entusiasma en la recordación de tangos e incluso canturrea algunos. 5 AUDICIÓN En este disco6 Borges colaboró con las milongas Jacinto Chiclana, El títere, A Don Nicanor Paredes y Alguien le dice al tango, todas ellas reunidas ese mismo año (junto con otros poemas) en el libro Para las seis cuerdas.7 1 El análisis de esta producción lo hemos realizado junto con Isabel Stratta, en el marco del UBACyT que integramos,“Interpretaciones del tango.

  • Organized Prostitution and the Jews of Buenos Aires
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Polacos, White Slaves, and Stille Chuppahs: Organized Prostitution and the Jews of Buenos Aires, 1890-1939 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Mir Hayim Yarfitz 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Polacos, White Slaves, and Stille Chuppahs: Organized Prostitution and the Jews of Buenos Aires, 1890-1939 by Mir Hayim Yarfitz Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles Professor José C. Moya, Chair This dissertation explores the particularly prominent role of Jews in coercive sex trafficking, then called white slavery in Buenos Aires when it was considered to be the world capital. The project aims to de-exoticize the subject by comparing Jewish pimps and prostitutes to other immigrants, grounding them in the neighborhoods they lived in, exploring the concrete concerns of their opponents, and connecting the broader discourses around these issues to transnational conversations about migration, sexuality, and the significance of race, ethnicity, and nationhood – the establishment of the boundaries of whiteness – in the furor around white slavery. I introduce new evidence about the Zwi Migdal Society (also called the Varsovia Society), a powerful mutual aid ii and burial association of Jewish pimps based in the Argentine capital. Ostracized by the nascent Argentine Jewish community, the Zwi Migdal Society nonetheless developed the same communal structures as those found in conventional voluntary immigrant associations: a burial society, a synagogue, health benefits, and peer recognition. My archival discoveries underline the significance of this battle to the local Jewish community's centralization and the shifting international articulation of norms around morality, marriage, family, and labor, and develop a history that opens into larger issues of migration, identity, women’s agency and transatlantic politics.

  • CHAMUYANDO - Eduardo Giorlandini “Acquaforte” La Letra Del Tango “Acquaforte” Motivó Últimamente Bastantes Comentarios De La Gente
    edUTecNe CHAMUYANDO - Eduardo Giorlandini “Acquaforte” La letra del tango “Acquaforte” motivó últimamente bastantes comentarios de la gente. Los jóve- nes preguntaban qué decía esta letra, de autoría de Juan Carlos Marambio Catán, que nació en Bahía Blanca y fue uno de los primeros cantores de tango, porque comenzó a tener fama por los tiempos de don Hipólito Yrigoyen. Me refiero a su primera presidencia. “Acquaforte” se inscribe en la línea de los tangos de protesta, de la llamada literatura comprometi- da o literatura social. Son muchos los temas y los autores; entre ellos Discépolo, Flores y Linyera. Algunos de estos autores fueron anarquistas azules, es decir anarquistas pacíficos y literarios, cuando no cristianos. “Acquaforte” nos habla de “Un viejo rico que gasta su dinero emborrachando a Lulú con su champán, hoy le negó el aumento a un pobre obrero que le pidió un pedazo más de pan...”. Y después, esta queja, referida a una situación muy particular, se generaliza en los versos fina- les: “Y pienso en la vida... las madres que sufren, los hijos que vagan sin techo, sin pan... vendiendo ‘La Prensa’, ganando dos ‘guitas’, ¡qué triste es todo esto, quisiera llorar! ...”. La música de “Acquaforte” pertenece a Horacio Pettorosi, que era guitarrista, que había acompa- ñado a Gardel y que, además de haber dirigido dos conjuntos de arte nativo, no pocas veces con- dujo su orquesta de tango vestido de gaucho, en el exterior, como se acostumbraba en Francia. “Adiós ‘Chantecler’” ¿Qué fue el “Chantecler”? El primer “Chantecler” conocido existió desde 1910, en Montevideo. Fue propiedad de Emilio Matos, padre de Gerardo H.

En efecto, dicho texto ingresa con ciertas transformaciones en el corpus poético del tango bajo el título “Milonga en negro”, de la mano del autor, compositor e intérprete Edmundo Rivero. Para efectuar este trabajo tendremos en cuenta el circuito operado por dicho romance; las condiciones contextuales en que se produjo tal inserción, y las características textuales conservadas o modificadas que permitieron este pasaje. Este trabajo reclama la revisión de conceptos como el de “poesía culta”, el de “poesía popular” y las relaciones entre ambos, así como evoca clásicas teorías sobre la lírica, entre ellas la del “estado latente” de Menéndez Pidal. Palabras claves: romance - tango - poesía culta - poesía popular Abstract: The objective of this presentation is to analyze the particular presence of a Spanish romance, “Bodas de negros” by Francisco Quevedo, in the poetic repertory of the Argentinian tango.
