  • Race, Nation, and Popular Culture in Cuban New York City and Miami, 1940-1960
    Authentic Assertions, Commercial Concessions: Race, Nation, and Popular Culture in Cuban New York City and Miami, 1940-1960 by Christina D. Abreu A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (American Culture) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof Associate Professor Richard Turits Associate Professor Yeidy Rivero Associate Professor Anthony P. Mora © Christina D. Abreu 2012 For my parents. ii Acknowledgments Not a single word of this dissertation would have made it to paper without the support of an incredible community of teachers, mentors, colleagues, and friends at the University of Michigan. I am forever grateful to my dissertation committee: Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof, Richard Turits, Yeidy Rivero, and Anthony Mora. Jesse, your careful and critical reading of my chapters challenged me to think more critically and to write with more precision and clarity. From very early on, you treated me as a peer and have always helped put things – from preliminary exams and research plans to the ups and downs of the job market – in perspective. Your advice and example has made me a better writer and a better historian, and for that I thank you. Richard, your confidence in my work has been a constant source of encouragement. Thank you for helping me to realize that I had something important to say. Yeidy, your willingness to join my dissertation committee before you even arrived on campus says a great deal about your intellectual generosity. ¡Mil Gracias! Anthony, watching you in the classroom and interact with students offered me an opportunity to see a great teacher in action.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Feeling Cuban By not opening with a joke, I heed a valuable lesson learned from the many comedians I write about in this book. Any good joke, like any introduction worth reading, requires a solid setup. Moments of humor will come— however fraught— as I discuss political and genera- tional shifts within the Cuban diaspora in the United States from the 1970s to the 2010s while at the same time pointing out what ludic popu- lar culture can tell us about community formations, performance, and race. But before I can get to these points, I need to provide you with some of the details, the context, that will make the purpose of this book clearer. Think of it as my own setup. I grew up in and around Union City, New Jersey, affectionately re- ferred to as “Havana on the Hudson” because of the large Cuban population that settled there in the years following Fidel Castro’s rise to power in 1959. My family had all the exile street cred: unfair imprisonments, seizure of property, the high-ranking family member whose loyalty to the Revolution trumped family ties. While these stories framed angry and explicit anti-Castro sentiment, they were largely overshadowed in both frequency and intensity by the ludic in quotidian life. Jokes about bumbling communists. Trips to the bathroom prefaced with “voy a mandar una carta a Fidel” (I’m going to send a letter to Fidel). My grandfather’s guajiro sayings marked by double entendre and fil- tered through the symbolic economy of the farm he worked— plenty of gallos and yeguas.

  • Tracing the Origins of Salsa Music
    Bron: dancedancedance.com Tra cing the Origins of Salsa Music by Luis Alba The Latin music we hear today has its origins in Cuba where the blending of African drum rhythms and Spanish guitar evolved into a variety of Latin American music: Son , Danzón , the rhythms of Carnival, Cha cha cha , Mambo , Salsa .....even Tango came out of Cuba. During the war in Cuba in 1898 US Soldiers got a taste for Cuban music. Later, during Prohibition in the USA, Americans went to Cuba where drinking alcohol was legal and they became infected with the Latin rhythms. As early as 1909 radio recordings came out of Cuba. In 1932 American Radio came to Cuba to record Orquesta Anacoana. This amazing all-female orquesta consisted of 10 sisters. They were the first females in Cuba to openly play percussion, horns and other instruments. Locked in the house for days at a time during the war, they had nothing to do but practice. This group evolved into one of Cuba's leading orchestras and one of the first to get top billing in New York. One sister, Graciela, went on to become the lead singer for Machito's orchestra. It wasn't long before musicians in the USA began incorporating Latin rhythms into their own music. In 1900, W.C. Handy visited Cuba and began our legacy of Latin jazz here in the USA. Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie "Bird" Parker, Stan Getz and Cal Tjader have all followed the tradition by blending and evolving Latin jazz. Gillespie added a Cuban drummer named Chano Pozo to his band in 1938 and they began to compose together.

  • A History of the Conga Drum by Nolan Warden
    A History of the Conga Drum By Nolan Warden Despite its wide- spread use, the conga drum may be one of the most misunder- stood percussion in- struments. It is all-too-often disre- garded as an “acces- sory,” not worthy of serious consideration. Even though the past decade has brought increased interest in “world” percussion, information about the history of congas re- mains hard to find. Before approaching that history, though, we must consider a few fundamentals. Besides, we haven’t even called this drum by its correct name yet! Photo © CIDMUC, Havana.

Rothenbuhler Committee Members, Antonio La Pastina Patrick Burkart Leroy Dorsey Juan Galdo Head of Department, Richard Street August 2011 Major Subject: Communication iii ABSTRACT From Aural Places to Visual Spaces: The Latin/o and General Music Industries. (August 2011) Christopher Joseph Westgate, B.S., Cornell University; M.A., Columbia University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Eric W. Rothenbuhler This manuscript tells the stories of the Latin/o and general music industries in the United States from 1898 to 2000. It argues that performers transformed the local identities of aural industries based in place and melody into global industries of visual identities designed for space and celebrity. Both the Latin/o and general music industries shifted back and forth along a local-sound-to-global-sight spectrum more than once, from sounds of music rooted in specific places to sights of musicians uprooted across universal spaces between 1898 and 2000.

    AFRO-CUBAN PERCUSSION, ITS ROOTS AND ROLE IN POPULAR CUBAN MUSIC by BRIAN KEITH ANDERSON B.M.E., Kansas State University, 2009 B.S., Kansas State University, 2009 A REPORT submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC Department of Music College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2016 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Craig B. Parker Copyright BRIAN KEITH ANDERSON 2016 Abstract This Master’s Report will address questions about Afro-Cuban music, focusing on Afro- Cuban percussion and music in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The first two chapters will address congas and timbales, which are two Afro-Cuban percussion instruments at the center of Cuban culture and music. The next three chapters will address danzón, rumba, and son. These chapters will provide analysis into the influences that shaped the music as well as analysis of the music itself. Chapter 6 of this report addresses Cuba’s impact on culture outside Cuba, relating but not limited to music, with emphasis on the 1930s into the beginning of World War II. Throughout this report videos have been created to help explain topics of Afro-Cuban music to readers in a more interactive way. The purpose of these videos is to demonstrate how the instruments sound as well as what the instruments look like, how notation included in the report is realized, and generally to make the page come to life in ways that technology today now allows.

  • Zero Tolerance and Central Park Rumba Cabildo Politics
    Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 5, No. 4, November 2009 Zero Tolerance and Central Park Rumba Cabildo Politics Berta Jottar The performance of Cuban rumba in New York City's Central Park is an internationally renowned event, famous for its Afro-Latino/a configuration and the culture that sustains around it. However, in the 1990s, not everybody recognized the value of rumba in Central Park. This essay focuses on what became a weekly confrontation between rumba's public performance and the New York City police department during Mayor Rudy Giuliani's administration. Rumba offers an instructive site through which to understand the racial and class politics imbedded in the Giuliani administration's so-called “Quality-of-Life” initiative and its “Zero Tolerance” policy of deterrence. In this essay, I analyze Zero Tolerance rhetoric and police strategies by focusing on two legal discourses used to repress Central Park rumba: the city's demand for a Special Events permit to play in the park, and its requirement that the musicians “keep moving” to avoid having their drums confiscated. I begin by tracing the racial genealogy embedded in Zero Tolerance practices by analyzing the ideological and moral motivations that connect Zero Tolerance with the control of Afrodiasporic musical practices throughout U.S. history, particularly during the Prohibition Era. I then analyze the historico-political significance of the rumberas/os' performatic response to the threat of having their instruments confiscated. I argue that the rumberos/as struggle to rumbear is part of a broader genealogy of confrontation between Afrodiasporic culture and colonial/white-supremacist law in the United States and Cuba.
