SOR JUANA FESTIVAL a Tribute to Mexican Women 20 16 SOR JUANA FESTIVAL A Tribute to Mexican Women The Sor Juana Festival is dedicated to Mexico’s Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (1651-1695), a great poet and philosopher who was known as La Décima Musa, (the Tenth Muse) and is known as the first feminist of the Americas. Through the Sor Juana Festival, the National Museum of Mexican Art presents writers, musi- cians, dancers and performers from both sides of the border with a special emphasis on women in the arts. This year’s Festival will take place September through November and will include these great events and performances : Chavela Vargas Tribute September 7th at 6:45 p.m. National Museum of Mexican Art, Free The wonderful Luisa Maria known as the ambassador of Mexican ranchera music accompanied by “El Proyecto Sur” de Nelson Sosa will be performing a tribute to the amazing Chavela Vargas.

She is one of the great Latin American musical icons of the 20th Century and was awarded a Latin Grammy Lifetime Award in 2007. Sponsored by the Mexican Consul General of Chicago. Denise Chávez, Live from the Mil Recuerdos Lounge September 20th at 6:30 p.m. National Museum of Mexican Art, $10 $8 for members, $10 for non-members, open seating ¡Live at the Mil Recuerdos Lounge! is a rollicking evening featuring Performance Writer, Denise Chávez reading from her new novel, The King and Queen of Comezón. Set in the town of Comezón "Itch" New Mexico at the town's favorite cantina, the pachanga takes place between Cinco de Mayo and Sixteenth of September. The Mil Recuerdos Lounge is a metaphor for the fiesta of life and its denizens are people we know and love. It is a place where people come to relax, dispel fear, and interact with one another. It is also a place to hide, a place to escape as much as it is a place in which to celebrate and to dance. It is a fiesta in and unto itself. And yes, it is a place to slow dance with yourself or someone else while you seek that happiness—that comezón—that is always just out of reach. Denise Chávez, is a performance writer, novelist, playwright, teacher and cultural activist based in Las Cruces, New Mexico. A true child of La Frontera, Chávez is the author of A Taco Testimony, Loving Pedro Infante, Face of An Angel, The Last of the Menu Girls, and La Mujer Que Sabía El Idioma de Los Animales/The Woman Who Knew the Language of the Animals.

  • Lila Downs LA CANTINA “Entre Copa Y Copa...”
    Lila Downs LA CANTINA “entre copa y copa...” Exploring and expressing Mexico's rich culture has been a lifelong passion for Lila Downs. La Cantina: “Entre Copa y Copa...” marks a unique turn in her career path, as she focuses intently on the rich and familiar repertoire of Mexico's beloved cancion ranchera tradition. The cancion ranchera is typically a ballad about heartache, solitude, love and longing — a song such as one would typically hear in a local cantina. It is a musical tradition quite akin to Portugal’s fado, or to the Delta blues — deeply soulful, often lamenting, always emotionally vivid. Downs and her partner, multi-instrumentalist Paul Cohen reflect, “Our new album brings out smiles and complicity from every person in the audience. After all, who doesn't like to go out to a bar, have some drinks and cry to your favorite songs?.... Well, maybe not everyone cries, but we can all remember — as we say in Spanish: ‘I'm not crying. It’s that cigarette smoke making my eyes burn....’" Special guest Flaco Jimenez, the legendary Tejano accordionist, brings his rootsy norteño sound to the mix. In the hands of Lila and her band, this historic repertoire is handled with a hip, contemporary edge that surely draws from her residency in the great melting pot of New York City in recent years — a world away from her dual upbringing in Minnesota and the Sierra Madre mountains of Oaxaca. Living in such varied environments, Downs took after her mother’s stage career by singing mariachi tunes at age 8.

Spotify | YouTube instagram.com/bacalaomen facebook.com/bacalaomen Booking: [email protected] ABOUT Bacalao Men was born in Caracas in 1999, when Pablo Estacio asked two musician friends to form a songo band. The group first featured Sebastián Araujo on drums, Aurelio Martínez on sax, and Pablo Estacio on bass and vocal. Within the first jam sessions, the musical structures and atmosphere that would give Bacalao its essence began to emerge, with its intelligent lyrics, afrolatin beats with jolts of funk, hip hop and electronic. The formation soon was enriched with the integration of DJ Hernia; Vladimir Rivero, Caracas’ legendary salsa percussionist, and Rafael Gómez, former guitarist of Lapamariposa and currently performing with Lila Downs. With its new members, and an undeniably original repertoire, Bacalao embarked on its first era of concerts in different Caracas venues and all throughout Venezuela, quickly generating a buzz about its indisputably new yet familiar sound. El Nuevo Bugalú (2005) was its second album, also produced independently. El Nuevo Bugalú concentrated on small chronicles told by song, and with it, the group expanded its sounds characterized by the use of native semantics of the city of Caracas, religion, love, and stress. From this second album came the group’s hits Malibu and El Comegente, a cheeky chronicle that relates the life of Dorángel Vargas, a cannibal who devoured over a dozen people in the 90’s.Through El Nuevo Bugalú, Bacalao was awarded Best Album of the Year, Best Song (El Comegente) and Best Production (Bacalao Men) by Venezuela’s Foundation of New Bands (Fundación Nuevas Bandas).

Todos sus órganos la servían con edificante fidelidad; todos sus sentidos le obedecían, o más bien, ella los tenía en severa y dura esclavitud. Era un alma que no tocaba, por así decir, la tierra, y que vivía en medio de las debilidades de la humanidad, como un ángel que toma sus formas, cuando viene acá abajo para cumplir una misión celeste.1

  • Mexican Sentimiento and Gender Politics A
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Corporealities of Feeling: Mexican Sentimiento and Gender Politics A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Lorena Alvarado 2012 © Copyright by Lorena Alvarado 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Corporealities of Feeling: Mexican Sentimiento and Gender Politics by Lorena Alvarado Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2011 Professor Alicia Arrizón, co-chair Professor Susan Leigh Foster, co-chair This dissertation examines the cultural and political significance of sentimiento, the emotionally charged delivery of song in ranchera genre musical performance. Briefly stated, sentimiento entails a singer’s fervent portrayal of emotions, including heartache, yearning, and hope, a skillfully achieved depiction that incites extraordinary communication between artist and audience. Adopting a feminist perspective, my work is attentive to the elements of nationalism, gender and sexuality connected to the performance of sentimiento, especially considering the genre’s historic association with patriotism and hypermasculinity. I trace the logic that associates representations of feeling with nation-based pathology and feminine emotional excess and deposits this stigmatized surplus of affect onto the singing body, particularly that of the mexicana female singing body. In this context, sentimiento is represented in film, promotional material, and other mediating devices as a bodily inscription of personal and gendered tragedy, ii as the manifestation of exotic suffering, or as an ancestral and racial condition of melancholy. I examine the work of three ranchera performers that corroborate these claims: Lucha Reyes (1906-1944), Chavela Vargas (1919) and Lila Downs (1964).

  • Survival & Lila Downs
    NavaBello1 Jennifer Nava Bello English 122/Section Miss French February 21, 2011 Powerful Music: Survival & Lila Downs The banquet hall was filled with the deafening chatter of excited Latinos. The opening act began to play traditional Cumbia, which is a Latin style genre “played on drums, flutes and percussion instruments of African and indigenous origins” (Mauleon). As the music began filling the hot air with deafening sounds of crash symbols and singing Latinos, my mouth filled with distaste. Young teenage girls began to dance in front of a small stage. I rolled my eyes, the music was awful. I sat close to my husband and wondered how he was able to drag me to this event. Little did I know, this event would become a significant turning point in my life. Finally, the opening band performed their last song and my ears felt relief. As we took our seats on icy metal chairs, I watched as the young teenage girls and their families took their seats with an intense amount of anticipation. They stared at the empty stage like giddy school children. We were part of a Quinceanera that was open to the paying public. The Quinceanera, a party for a young Latina girl turning fifteen, was a dual event featuring a concert performed by Lila Downs. I knew nothing of her, until the woman sitting next to me informed me that Lila Downs performed in Frida, a motion picture about the life of Frida Kahlo. Who is Frida Kahlo? I thought to myself. I focused my attention on the decorative shawl wrapped around this odd woman.
