  • José Alberto El Canario Estrena Nuevo Single Junto a Músicos Cubanos
    José Alberto El Canario estrena nuevo single junto a músicos cubanos La Habana, 12 may (RHC) El reconocido cantante dominicano José Alberto "El Canario" estrenó la víspera el primer sencillo de su nuevo disco, en el que cuenta con acompañamiento musical cubano. “Rodando por el mundo” es el título de este tema que desde hoy está disponible en las plataformas digitales, así como su audiovisual promocional, un video lírico que ya está accesible en el canal oficial de YouTube del artista. De acuerdo con una nota de prensa, el single además da nombre a la más reciente producción discográfica de El Canario, que verá la luz próximamente, y que se trata de un fonograma dedicado en su totalidad al bolero, y que contiene nueve canciones y dos bonus tracks. Según ha asegurado el artista, "con este disco se cumple un sueño que tenía hace mucho tiempo. Yo siento una gran pasión por el bolero, que es de los géneros románticos el más universal. Al bolero debo muchos momentos de felicidad. Con esta producción, no estoy más que siendo recíproco con un género que me ha dado mucho y que me apasiona". Cuba fue esencial para la realización de este disco, pues en él José Alberto se hizo acompañar musicalmente por los grupos santiagueros Azabache y Los Guanches, con una participación muy destacada del legendario trovador santiaguero Alejandro Almenares y la colaboración del Magic Sax Quartet y músicos de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Oriente. Ha sido una experiencia bien bonita esta de acompañar a José Alberto El Canario en este disco de boleros.

  • Sammy Garcia
    Sammy Garcia In the world of the tropical music, Sammy is counted as one of the very best amongst such legendary performers as: Conjunto Clásico, Willie Colón, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Tito Nieves, Puerto Rican Power, Celia Cruz, Cheo Feliciano, Víctor Manuell, Olga Tañón, Elvis Crespo y Ricardo Arjona, just to name a few. His professional experiences during his musical career, afforded him the opportunity to play in such great venues and events such as: Concerts in the Madison Square Garden, Aruba Jazz Festival, Feria de Calí, Festival de la Calle Ocho, New Orleans Jazz Festival, Carnaval de Panamá, Día Nacional de la Salsa y Congreso Mundial de la Salsa, among others. They serve as a strong center for his artistic foundation, entertaining diverse audiences around the world. His artistic path has been split between being a musician and a director and this immersion into the craft has led him to be an innovator in the world of modern salsa music. This innovative vision is truly realized in his latest project “El Sabor De Puerto Rico”, where under the direction of Sammy, never loses the “swing” and “cadence” of the traditional salsa music.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The Dominican Republic is home to the oldest of the Old World societies planted in the New World. The blending of all things indigenous, Euro- pean, and African, which is largely the history of the Americas, began with this Caribbean nation. The early history of Santo Domingo, as it was called, foreshadowed the way the Spanish Empire developed, and at the beginning of that process, no place in the hemisphere was more important. Despite its historical significance in the drama “Old World meets New World,” the Dominican Republic is familiar to most non- Dominicans only through a few elements of its history and culture. Many people are aware that it shares an island called Hispaniola with Haiti and that it was the place where Christopher Columbus chose to build a colony. Some people know that the country produces top major league baseball players and popular musicians. Other people have learned that it is a great option for an all- inclusive beach vacation. But not much else about the place is common knowledge outside its borders. People who visit the Dominican Republic but limit their experience to a week at a seaside resort gain little under- standing of the country beyond the tourist enclave. The relative obscurity of the Dominican Republic results partly from the fact that it has not received the academic attention in English that it de- serves. It is more difficult to delve into the Dominican past and present than it is for most other Latin American nations. This Reader seeks to change that. It provides an introduction to the history, politics, and culture of the Dominican Republic, from precolonial history to current trends, combin- ing primary sources such as essays, songs, poems, legal documents, and oral testimonies translated from Spanish, with excerpts from academic scholar- ship, to present the dramatic story of Dominican life since the country’s founding.

  • “The Guacherna: Funny Dolls” a Closer Look at Emotional Design from the Cultural Implications Involved in an Object
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ZENODO “The Guacherna: Funny Dolls” A closer look at emotional design from the cultural implications involved in an object. Angélica Lascar* * Universidad de los Andes, Design Program Bogotá, Colombia, [email protected] Abstract: This Project was inspired from the Barranquilla Carnival, a party held in Colombia and considered a symbol of our culture. This essay shows the development of the design on the proposal concept: “The Guacherna [1]: Funny Dolls”. It starts with a brief explanation of the meaning of the Carnival, and how it is transferred to the emotional feeling that the dolls produce. The purpose is to show the scope of the objects and how they are not only attractive for their universally-determined esthetics, but also an answer to cultural references. Thus, the object, designed based on the traditions, becomes an emotional design exercise that proves the role of memory, tradition, and identity in the relationship with the created objects. Keywords: emotions, traditions, culture, carnival, esthetics. 1. Introduction The objects produce an emotional bond with individuals, particularly because they embody archetypical values inherent to a culture. This is the case of the Guacherna: Funny Dolls, a series of objects with their own re- interpreted story based on the Barranquilla Carnival (Colombia). Driven by this idea, I want to share the process that led us to the design of this set of dolls inspired in a carnival declared as Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Humanity Heritage by UNESCO in 2003.
