  • Héctor Infanzón
    Héctor Infanzón - PIANIST & COMPOSER …I was raised on Latin music and improvisation is the channel for me to express all my emotions, ideas and the personal way I conceive the world; through improvisation I can explore different musical forms, that's why I try to experiment with different musical elements every time I play and compose.--Héctor Infanzón A major feature of Héctor Infanzón's compositions is the inclusion of all the styles that have influenced him, thereby making his work varied and versatile. It also prevents him from being identified with one particular musical genre. Infanzón draws elements from Mexican folklore, classical and Latin American musical idioms, and from the Afro Caribbean tradition. He then shapes it all within his own sound. Finally, he adds improvisation, the one element that rounds everything up and transforms it into jazz. His music emerges from the core of traditional forms, yet it expands to move beyond the limits of styles. This hybridization reflects life lived in a place like Mexico City. Such is the work of Héctor Infanzón: a permanent search for new trends, a music that leaves the indelible mark of urban expression. All in all, this is the music of a composer born in the very heart of the city he loves. The Héctor Infanzón Group plays primarily the highest quality original compositions. This feature has rightly earned its leader top praise from international critics. During his studies at the Escuela Superior de Música, Héctor played music recitals at many of the most prestigious music halls in Mexico City. He also performed as soloist with the Chamber Orchestra of Bellas Artes.

  • “Vamos Al Noa Noa”: De Homosexualidad, Secretos a Voces Y Ambivalencias En La Música De Juan Gabriel
    Rodrigo Laguarda México “Vamos al Noa Noa”: de homosexualidad, secretos a voces y ambivalencias en la música de Juan Gabriel En el libro Latin American Popular Culture, An Introduction, editado por el conocido historiador especialista en México, Willian H. Beezley y Linda A Curcio, se apuesta por el estudio de la “cultura popular”. Ésta es entendida como el conjunto de formas mediante las que la cultura es experimentada en la vida cotidiana (Beezley y Curcio 2000). Los autores señalan que en América Latina la lectura y la escritura no han sido vehículos primarios para la expresión cultural. De ahí la importancia del estudio de la cultura popular, entendida como todo aquello relacionado con el placer de vivir. Con los momentos de risa, deleite y escape. Con héroes que convierten la vida de una comunidad en algo memorable. Que muchas veces transgreden fronteras políticas, culturales y sociales dando a la gente la emoción que causa el desafío de las reglas establecidas de la autoridad. La propuesta de este trabajo es pensar a Juan Gabriel como un héroe de la cultura popular que ha jugado un papel importante en esta creación de identidades individuales y grupales. En particular, en la conformación de la identidad gay en México. No puede dudarse que la música de Juan Gabriel ha causado un gran regocijo al público mexicano “Vamos al Noa Noa” desde los años setenta. Pero, como lo señala Antonio Marquet, Juan Gabriel no es sólo el cantante del amor y el desamor. Es un transgresor que irrumpe en el espacio para situarse en el terreno de la femineidad, de acuerdo con los cánones occidentales de la masculinidad.

  • Gabino Palomares: a History of Canto Nuevo in Mexico
    Gabino Palomares: A History of Canto Nuevo in Mexico CLAUDIO PALOMARES-SALAS TRANSLATED BY SILVIO J. DOS SANTOS The civil wars, military coups, dictatorships, and revolutions that marked the histories of Cuba, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, and Uruguay during the second half of the twentieth century propelled the socially-engaged singers of the Nueva Canción to stardom, granting them a privileged place in the emotional tales of the nation.1 In Mexico, the story was different. Without a clearly articulated narrative of oppression and violence, the voices of resistance did not find a place in the national affective imagination. While figures such as Silvio Rodríguez and Mercedes Sosa managed to convince a sector of the Mexican public to stand in solidarity with the oppressed peoples of Latin America, figures such as Amparo Ochoa, Óscar Chávez, and Gabino Palomares did not succeed—apparently—in convincing the Mexican public that there were also reasons to protest in Mexico.2 The story of modern Mexican troubadours is absent from the annals of history. It exists as scattered references in newspapers, as anecdotes, and as a collection of songs sung in a disorganized manner by a group relegated to the margins of the cultural landscape. It is, nevertheless, a story of resistance whose heroes—singers, songwriters, and performers—spent the decades between 1960 and 1990 denouncing poverty and corruption, condemning governmental violence, marching side by side with students, activists, women, workers, and peasants, and supporting civil rights and grassroots movements both nationally and internationally. The story of these musicians has remained unknown for too long.
