  • Music and Globalization: the Impact of Latin American Music in Japan
    Intercultural Communication Studies XV: 1 2006 de la Peza Music and Globalization: The Impact of Latin American Music in Japan Maria del Carmen de la Peza Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Xochimilco, México Abstract Nowadays, thanks to the spread of new recording technologies and sound production, the web of relationships between different and heterogeneous cultures is so complex that the ubiquity phenomenon of cultural transference must be reconstructed. Within this paper, the author describes and analyzes Afro-Caribbean music’s trajectories and migrations around the world. Since 1930, thanks to the music industry expansion, Afro-Caribbean music is very well known all over the world. It has travelled from Jamaica, Cuba, Mexico and Puerto Rico to the rest of the world, passing through London and New York. This paper analyzes how Afro-Caribbean music has spread in Japan. The case of The Orquesta de la Luz is used as an example of how Japanese people relate to music from other cultures. As it can be seen, it has nothing to do with the simplistic interpretation of domination and homogenization of culture. The concept of globalization has been in fashion for more than ten years now and, considering the case of satellite television and the world spread of contents that are standardized to a certain extent, the impression is to be experiencing a rising homogenization of culture. However, a subtler approach to the cultural processes that come from the so- called mass culture or modern popular culture would allow us to see the processes of differentiation, diversification, and cultural creation. Some years ago, the only voice that made itself heard in the media was that of fascination and of the imperative to join a globalized world where the MacLuhanian myth of the global village seemed to be a desirable utopia.

  • Session Handout Salsa & Merengue Mash Up
    SESSION HANDOUT SALSA & MERENGUE MASH UP Walter Diaz (WALLY) ZIN™ Member, USA SESSION HANDOUT Presenter Walter Diaz (Wally) Schedule 50 min: Theoretical explanation about all these fantastic rhythms and their influences. 70 min: Master Class, including the Warm Up and Cool Down. (Total: 2 hours) Session Objective The session will give ZIN Members valuable information and knowledge about Salsa and Merengue, thus providing participants with the tools to easily identify these rhythms and put them into practice. History & Background HISTORY OF MERENGUE Merengue is a style of music and dance originated in the Caribbean, specifically in the Dominican Republic in the early nineteenth century. Originally, the Merengue was interpreted with stringed instruments (guitars). Years later, the guitars were replaced by the Accordion along with the Guira and the Tambora (drum of two patches), the structure of the whole instrumental típico. This set, with three instruments, represents the synthesis of three cultures that shaped the flavor of the Dominican culture. European influence is represented by the Accordion, the African by the Tambora (drum of two patches), and the aboriginal by the Taino or Güira. Although in some areas of the Dominican Republic, especially in the Cibao, there are still typical sets, this has evolved throughout the twentieth century with the introduction of new instruments like the saxophone and later with the appearance of bands with complex wind sections. The origin of the word merengue goes back to colonial times and comes from the word Muserengue, the name given to dances among some African cultures. The Dominican Merengue genre has played a major role within the environment of Afro Caribbean.

  • Latino Social Spaces in Tokyo*
    Asian Journal of Latin American Studies (2013) Vol. 26 No. 4: 1-18 Latino Social Spaces in Tokyo* Rafael Reyes-Ruiz**1 Zayed University, UAE Reyes-Ruiz, Rafael (2013) “Latino Social Spaces in Tokyo” ABSTRACT Based upon my informants’ conversations about food and music and re-making a home in Japan, in this article I show how owners, managers and customers organized Latino restaurants and clubs as social spaces and contributed to the (re)creation of a transnational Latino culture in Japan. Because the majority of these spaces have relied on generic Latin American tropical iconography, one focus of the article is to show how such tropicalizations serve as cultural capital that benefits club owners and other entrepreneurs, and at the same time has fostered a sense of commonalities and a shared identity within the Latino clientele. Key Words: latin americans in Japan, latino social space, transnational latin american culture, transnationalism, minoritics in Japan INTRODUCTION Since the mid nineteen-nineties with increased immigration of Latin Americans and the popularization of Latin music in Japan following global trends, Latin restaurants and nightclubs became conspicuous in entertainment districts in the Tokyo metropolitan area.1 Establishments * This research is the result of anthropological fieldwork conducted in different stages from 1996 to 2009. It was partially made possible by research grants from the New School for Social Research (1997; 1999-2000), Oberlin College (2002), and Zayed University (2005; 2009). It was greatly facilitated by my affiliation as a visiting scholar at Sophia University in Tokyo in 2009. For this particular article, I was fortunate enough to do follow-up interviews with friends and informants whose narratives informed my articles on music and the Latino community in Japan (2005a), and Latino business ventures (2010).

Revista Transcultural de Música Transcultural Music Review #9 (2005) ISSN:1697-0101 “Somos Cubanos!“ – timba cubana and the construction of national identity in Cuban popular music Patrick Froelicher Abstract The complex processes that led to the emergence of salsa as an expression of a “Latin” identity for Spanish-speaking people in New York City constitute the background before which the Cuban timba discourse has to be seen. Timba, I argue, is the consequent continuation of the Cuban “anti-salsa-discourse” from the 1980s, which regarded salsa basically as a commercial label for Cuban music played by non-Cuban musicians. I interpret timba as an attempt by Cuban musicians to distinguish themselves from the international Salsa scene. This distinction is aspired by regular references to the contemporary changes in Cuban society after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Thus, the timba is a “child” of the socialist Cuban music landscape as well as a product of the rapidly changing Cuban society of the 1990s.

Much of previous Latin American scholarship has favored nation-based, particularly folkloric, genres, while current trends have largely moved toward either re-engaging nation-based scholarship within postmodern critical contexts or addressing reggae ton as part of the scholarly fascination with global hip-hop culture.

Salsa-Diaspora Mit ihren wachsenden kommerziellen Möglichkeiten auf den multina- tionalen Märkten zieht die nicht-anglo- bzw. afroamerikanische Popu- lärmusik (ganz brauchbar auch als “Welt-Musik” bezeichnet) breite wissenschaftliche Aufmerksamkeit auf sich. Anders als die Musikethnologen vergangener Jahrzehnte neigen die Wissenschaftler nun dazu, diese Musik nicht mehr als Produkt einer “Verfälschung” zu sehen, in der angestammte Traditionen durch westliche Zivilisationseinflüsse kontaminiert werden, sondern als Pro- zess eines globalisierten Verkehrs von Musikmachern und -verbrau- chern und als eine technologisch vermittelte Form von Klängen und lokaler Sensibilität. Für George Lipsitz z.B. ist das, was aus den heutigen globalen Realitäten hervorgeht, ein Weg, eine immanente Kritik zeitgenössischer Sozialbeziehungen herzustellen, sich durch die Kanäle der kommerziellen Kultur zu arbeiten, um Affini- täten, Ähnlichkeiten und Möglichkeit der Verbündung in einer Weltbe- völkerung zu beleuchten, die heute so dynamisch und beweglich sein muss wie die Kräfte des Kapitals.

  • The European Salsa Congress Music and Dance in Transnational Circuits Ananya Jahanara Kabir
    C h a p t e r 1 5 The European Salsa Congress Music and Dance in Transnational Circuits Ananya Jahanara Kabir “Oye DJ, tírame la música” (Hey, DJ, throw me some music) sings Cuban-born New York resident Cucu Diamantes on her fi rst album, Cuculand (Wrasse Records, 2010). As the song, “Still in Love,” reveals, “este Moreno me miró que yo no pude contener” (the way this dark-haired man was looking at me, I just couldn ’ t control myself). The tale of attraction between the Hispanic “I” and her Moreno unfolds within a recognizably Latin soundscape – until about halfway through the song, when another beat begins pushing its way through the polyrhythmic template. Faint at fi rst, it reveals itself to the South Asian listening ear as the sounds of the dhol b e a t i n g out a Punjabi bhangra rhythm (the eight-beat kaharwa taal ). In confi rmation, the song ’ s coda has Diamantes repeating, till fade-out, in Hindi, “tu mera pyara hai” (you are my beloved one). The song ’ s signifi cance mutates from a transnational Cuban ’ s electronic-accented experiment on traditional salsa to a broader experi- mentation with other global dance sounds originating in diaspora; the Moreno this Morena seeks seems to be a South Asian rather than a fellow Latin lover. The all- powerful DJ is both muse and conduit for the coming together of these diverse beats, and peoples, on a dance fl oor replete with possibilities of unpredictable, even transgressive cultural encounters. Music and dance are multiply transnationalized, although without losing the glocal signifi cance of a Cuban singer in New York interpreting her musical heritage, which now goes by the universally acknowledged name of “salsa.” In their song “Arroz con salsa” (rice with salsa), Japan ’ s Orquesta de la Luz (La Aventura , RTL International, 1994) declare that “salsa no tiene fronteras” (salsa has no frontiers).

    THE DYNAMICS OF SALSIOLOGY IN CONTEMPORARY GERMANY: RECONSTRUCTING GERMAN CULTURAL IDENTITY THROUGH SALSA MUSIC AND DANCE Eddy Magaliel Enríquez Arana A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2007 Committee: Dr. Christina Guenther, Advisor Dr. Francisco Cabanillas, Advisor Dr. Valeria Grinberg Pla Dr. Geoffrey Howes © 2006 Eddy M. Enríquez Arana All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Christina Guenther, Advisor Dr. Francisco Cabanillas, Advisor This thesis explores the significance of the consumption of salsa music and dance in the Federal Republic of Germany and its impact on the construction and reconstruction of German and Latin American cultural identity. The discipline of cultural studies has much to learn from the Latin American presence in and their contributions to the establishment of the salsa institution in the Federal Republic. The thesis discusses the level of German involvement in the creation of a transnational music and dance culture traditionally associated with the Spanish-speaking world exclusively. iv To all my friends, peers and family who support me in my love for the German language and salsa music. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would first like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr. Ernesto Delgado of the Romance Languages Department for guiding and encouraging me in the conceptualization of the topic of this writing project; to Dr. Christina Guenther of the German section whose untiring and superb academic counseling oriented not only my scholarly development but also my skills as a writer, and instilled in me confidence and drive to excel in the study of cultures and languages; to Dr.
