Coming Outstanding events in Cuba Cuba certainly knows how to party, and the calendar is full of events to celebrate. Many of its most famous fiestas, like Santiago’s Carnaval and Havana’s International Ballet Festival, attract visitors from all around the world. Historic Trinidad is renowned for its elaborate traditions surrounding Catholic holidays, such as the Way of the Cross procession at Easter and Fiestas Navideñas at Christmastime. Experience Cuba’s festive spirit by planning your trip around one of the country’s legendary fiestas. The INTERNATIONAL VIDEO ART FESTIVAL takes place from November 25th to the 29th in the city of Camaguey. This event convenes the video art in all its variants: video performance, video installation and video dance and animation. The Venue is in the Historical Center of Camaguey City. Then the Week of Cultural Celebrations festival takes over the city Camagüey the first week of each February, and is widely recognized as one of Cuba’s best cultural fetes. It commemorates the city’s foundation. In November there is an opportunity to Celebrate the famous Cuban boleros singer, guitarist and composer Carlos Puebla during the festival held from November 29 - December 2 in Manzanillo in Granma province. From 1962 Pueba was a regular performer in La Bodeguita del medio, a bar- restaurant in Old Havana which was a favourite haunt of Cuban and foreign intellectuals. Politically he stood beside Fidel Castro before the 1959 Revolution. He was called the singer of the revolution or El Cantor de la Revolución. In 1965, the night after Fidel Castro's speech announcing Che Guevara's departure from the government, Puebla, seized by passion, composed what would become his most celebrated work, Hasta Siempre, Comandante, a true declaration of love for and hope in Che. https://www.radiohc.cu/en/noticias/cultura/70363-coming-outstanding-events-in-cuba Radio Habana Cuba.

A Comparative Case Study of the Political Economy of Music in Cuba and Argentina by Paul Ruffner Honors Capstone Prof
Music, Money, and the Man: A Comparative Case Study of the Political Economy of Music in Cuba and Argentina By Paul Ruffner Honors Capstone Prof. Clarence Lusane May 4, 2009 Political economy is an interpretive framework which has been applied to many different areas in a wide range of societies. Music, however, is an area which has received remarkably little attention; this is especially surprising given the fact that music from various historical periods contains political messages. An American need only be reminded of songs such as Billy Holliday’s “Strange Fruit” or the general sentiments of the punk movement of the 1970s and 80s to realize that American music is not immune to this phenomenon. Cuba and Argentina are two countries with remarkably different historical experiences and economic structures, yet both have experience with vibrant traditions of music which contains political messages, which will hereafter be referred to as political music. That being said, important differences exist with respect to both the politics and economics of the music industries in the two countries. Whereas Cuban music as a general rule makes commentaries on specific historical events and political situations, its Argentine counterpart is much more metaphorical in its lyrics, and much more rhythmically and structurally influenced by American popular music. These and other differences can largely be explained as resulting from the relations between the community of musicians and the state, more specifically state structure and ideological affiliation in both cases, with the addition of direct state control over the music industry in the Cuban case, whereas the Argentine music industry is dominated largely by multinational concerns in a liberal democratic state.

Andean Music, the Left and Pan-Americanism: the Early History
Andean Music, the Left, and Pan-Latin Americanism: The Early History1 Fernando Rios (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) In late 1967, future Nueva Canción (“New Song”) superstars Quilapayún debuted in Paris amid news of Che Guevara’s capture in Bolivia. The ensemble arrived in France with little fanfare. Quilapayún was not well-known at this time in Europe or even back home in Chile, but nonetheless the ensemble enjoyed a favorable reception in the French capital. Remembering their Paris debut, Quilapayún member Carrasco Pirard noted that “Latin American folklore was already well-known among French [university] students” by 1967 and that “our synthesis of kena and revolution had much success among our French friends who shared our political aspirations, wore beards, admired the Cuban Revolution and plotted against international capitalism” (Carrasco Pirard 1988: 124-125, my emphases). Six years later, General Augusto Pinochet’s bloody military coup marked the beginning of Quilapayún’s fifteen-year European exile along with that of fellow Nueva Canción exponents Inti-Illimani. With a pan-Latin Americanist repertory that prominently featured Andean genres and instruments, Quilapayún and Inti-Illimani were ever-present headliners at Leftist and anti-imperialist solidarity events worldwide throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Consequently both Chilean ensembles played an important role in the transnational diffusion of Andean folkloric music and contributed to its widespread association with Leftist politics. But, as Carrasco Pirard’s comment suggests, Andean folkloric music was popular in Europe before Pinochet’s coup exiled Quilapayún and Inti-Illimani in 1973, and by this time Andean music was already associated with the Left in the Old World.

From Socialist Nueva Trova to Contemporary Rap
Quintero 1 María D. Quintero Recording the Cuban Transformation: From Socialist Nueva Trova to Contemporary Rap “After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is Music” –Aldous Huxley Every society can be viewed and studied through the lens of artistic expression. In Cuba a valuable source of information can be found in its music. The demographic of a society produce different types of music. Each genre of music has a special connection to the time period in which it is produced. Cuban music is a reflection of the Cuban society itself, as well as the people’s relation to the national government and the world. Cuban music has had global impact; various genres of music can be traced pact to a Cuban music influence (Sweeney 1). The complexity of music operates on many levels and therefore can be studied through analyzing various features of it. The music provides insight into different aspects of Cuban history, such as poverty, revolution, foreign relations, gender and race. The analyzing of specific songs and surveying of certain artist, the role played by Cuba’s government in the music scene, and the general message of the music, which transcends time and space, serve as the framework from which to gain a deeper understanding of Cuban history. The rich history of Cuba from its pre- Revolutionary standing, through its transition to Socialism, and its condition today can be better understood by comparing and contrasting the music created in each time period; Nueva Trova was a product of Socialist Cuba and Rap is significant in Contemporary Cuba.

Singing Hasta Siempre Comandante in Tunisia Paper
Singing Hasta Siempre, Comandante in Tunisia: Images of Che Guevara after the Arab Spring Alan Karass – New England Conservatory (Boston, Massachusetts, USA) As most of you know I’ve been doing research in Tunisia for many years, but this is the first opportunity I've had to talk about my work within the context of a NEMLA or MLA meeting. The focus of this presentation is a specific aspect of my research, namely the image of Che Guevara within the Tunisian musical landscape; however, I’d like to just take a few minutes to give you a general overview of my research as a whole as a way of setting the stage for the subject discussion. Fundamentally, I am interested in the social function of music festivals and public music making in Tunisia. [see PowerPoint slide #2, point out location of Tunisia] Festivals are an important part of Tunisian public life. Most towns, no matter how small, manage to have an annual festival, and in the capital, Tunis, there is at least one festival a month featuring music, theatre, poetry, film, comedy, or dance. Not only are they an important feature of social life, but festival performances also serve as opportunities for Tunisians to articulate their national, political, religious, and ethnic identities. The focus of my research has been the International Festival of the Sahara, also known as the “Douz Festival.” It is the only Tunisian festival that simultaneously celebrates the culture of a town, its environs, and its early inhabitants, namely, the semi-nomadic Marazig people. It takes place over four consecutive days during late December in Douz, which is a small town in southern Tunisia on the northern edge of the Sahara desert.

Since the 19th century its music has been hugely popular and influential throughout the world. It has been perhaps the most popular form of world music since the introduction of recording technology. The music of Cuba, including the instruments and the dances, is mostly of European (Spanish) and African origin. Most forms of the present day are creolized fusions and mixtures of these two sources. Almost nothing remains of the original Indian traditions.[1] Overview Large numbers of African slaves and European (mostly Spanish) immigrants came to Cuba and brought their own forms of music to the island. European dances and folk musics included zapateo, fandango, paso doble and retambico. Later, northern European forms like minuet, gavotte, mazurka, contradanza, and the waltz appeared among urban whites. There was also an immigration of Chinese indentured laborers later in the 19th century.
