  • Latin American Music Notes© William Little (2008)
    Latin American Music Notes© William Little (2008) Introductory Notes Unfortunately very little is known about the music of the inhabitants of the region of the world that has come to be known as Latin America. However, some of that music found its way into the music the Latin European explorers, conquistadors, and colonists brought with them to this—to their—New World. Furthermore, due to isolation, accident, and a strong will to preserve their traditions, people from the pre-Columbian cultures that survived war, disease, oppression, and suppression were able keep some of their music alive throughout the first four centuries of contact. Then, in the twentieth century, ethnomusicologists, cultural progressives, folk humanists, and indigenous musicians themselves were able to begin performing and recording their own music again in public. Clearly, since all cultural practices change over time, much of what seems to be authentic pre-Columbian music is more likely latter-day versions of older traditions; nevertheless, it is fair to say that music scholars in the twenty-first century are able to authenticate some aspects of the pre-Latin musical traditions that prospered in the Western Hemisphere from pole to pole. When the principal Latin European countries—Spain, Portugal, and France—arrived in the Americas, they brought their own fifteenth-century music with them. For four centuries, official music in church, palace, and theater was derived from and remained closely aligned with European musical styles and tastes. As there are several themes that thread their way through the fabric of Latin American humanities, so too are there several distinctive unifying features of Latin American music.

Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin August 2008 Dedication To the memory of Gerard Béhague (1937-2005), and to all those who struggle for a better and just world. Acknowledgements My experience completing the dissertation was no more difficult than any other doctoral candidate but it took the efforts of many to pull me through to the other side of the degree. I only wish there was more to offer than a brief mention in the acknowledgements; all the same, my gratitude is immeasurable. I thank my dissertation committee (Gerard Béhague, José Limón, Stephen Slawek, Katie Stewart, Richard Flores, and Robin Moore) for their service and mentorship throughout the course of my graduate career. Some have played a more extensive role than others but all of them have been equally helpful whenever I have come to them. Words cannot express the gratitude, nor the loss, I feel towards Gerard Béhague, my advisor from 1995 until his passing in 2005.

  • Los Lobos, Jazz Cafe, London
    Los Lobos, Jazz Cafe, London By Gavin Martin Published: 28 August 2006 Heavy-set and stone-faced they sport shades, goatees and pork-pie hats. Los Lobos look like the Reservoir Dogs of Chicano rock. Thirty-three years since they began, Los Lobos' brief dalliance with mainstream success (their 1987 soundtrack to the Ritchie Valens biopic La Bamba) may be past, but, as tonight proves, their musical engagement is a lifelong affair. On the opening "Hold On" Dave Hidalgo is a tender giant, his sweet cry of soulful resolve pivoting on a determined declaration to "do it all over again" while bass player Conrad Lozano provides a loping swamp groove. Then, swapping his frazzled blues guitar for a set of maracas, Cesar Rosas takes the first of several Spanish-language lead vocals, an intoxicating blend of high kicking cantina fiestas and slow waltzes. All the while the newest member, the excellently named, suitably lethal, drummer Cougar Estrada, maintains an agile and alert pulse. "Chains" initially seems to be a generic bump'n'grind blues but soon explodes into one of the exultant jam-band lift-offs. The title track of the 1990 album "The Neighbourhood" is a reminder that the personal struggles of immigrant, communities have been a long-standing concern. That's the theme binding their current, excellent, The Town And The City album. "Road To Gila Bend" one of many new tracks featured from it, is transcendent, its classic pop chorus as instantly memorable as the shimmering "Kiko And The Lavender Moon". Abandoning a tantalising blast of Van Morrison's "Moondance", Rosas cracks a grin and wryly defers to the venue by introducing a "jazz" song.

  • Los Lobos Liner Notes & Credits
    Los Lobos Native Sons Liner Notes & Credits Love Special Delivery (Garcia-Espinosa) Tormid Music (BMI) Trombone - Dannie Ramirez, Drums - Aaron Ballesteros, Keyboards - Phil Parlapiano An original tune from Thee Midniters, one of the first Chicano bands out of East L.A. to make it big. They blazed the trail with such songs as “Whittier Blvd.” and “The Ballad of César Chávez.” Cesar: As a kid I’d catch Thee Midniters at Kennedy Hall on Atlantic and try to see how George (Dominguez) was playing those riffs that I couldn’t figure it out at home. Then about 20 years ago Aaron Ballesteros (Thee Midniters’ drummer) was in my home studio, recording other things. I started this riff, just goofing around, and he fell in. I said, “You know what? Why don’t we record it, man?” He did a count off and, unaccompanied, laid down the track you hear now. Perfect. First take. Conrad: In 1967 I played with Aaron in a 9-piece soul band called The Royal Checkmates, and then later in Tierra. Misery (Don Juan Mancha) Jobete Music (BMI) Drums - Jason Lozano, Percussion - Camilo Quinones, Backing Vocals - Barrence Whitfield Originally a hit by Barrett Strong, who also had the hit “Money.” Strong co-wrote some of Motown’s biggest songs. David: This is probably one of my favorite songs on the album. Barret moved to L.A. when Motown did. Conrad: We got good old Barrence on vocals, man. Isn’t that cool? We’ve known his band The Savages forever, man. We even brought ‘em out to the West Coast to tour with us.
