  • 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.

EL SERVICIO SPOTIFY COMO HERRAMIENTA DE PENETRACIÓN CULTURAL Strano, Mariano Facultad de Humanidades y Artes, UNR Rosario, Argentina [email protected] Con el surgimiento de Spotify, la reconocida plataforma que transmite contenidos musicales de las grandes discográficas a cualquier lugar del mundo y en cualquier momento, incluso a través de los teléfonos celulares, a partir de los años 2010 la búsqueda de contenidos comenzó a ser realizada a través de este medio, bajo los conceptos de simplicidad, comodidad, legalidad y gratuidad. Consiguientemente, los usuarios/consumidores perdieron protagonismo en la búsqueda y elección de música frente a las sugerencias coactivas que el servicio realiza desde la pantalla. Con ello, la industria discográfica multiplicó el caudal de sus flujos de distribución, consiguiendo imponer modas y productos con mayor facilidad y con menores costos respecto a los medios de comunicación tradicionales. El poder de Spotify para sortear fronteras y penetrar esferas culturales es mayor en los usuarios que no pueden acceder al servicio de pago, y que por lo tanto están expuestos a la publicidad no selectiva y a las escuchas forzosas de productos musicales que no es posible elegir ni rechazar. Así, de la mano de democratización y liberalización de la oferta y la demanda de contenidos culturales, en Argentina, las capitales géneros como el cuarteto o el chamamé presentan disminuciones en el consumo de dichos ritmos tradicionales.

  • 0821 Mariachi Csucitlan De CI, Perez
    Instructionally Related Activities Sponsor: Rafael Perez Program/Department: School of Education Activity Title: Mariachi CSUCItlan de CI Date(s) of activities: Spring Semester, 2017 A. 1. Provide a description of the activity(s). As detailed in our application, Mariachi music is played throughout the world. Several universities and colleges in the United States also provide resources to allow their students, and community members, to perform in Mariachi orchestras. Mariachi CSUCItlan de CI (MCdCI) has performed in CSUCI events, classes, clubs and various venues in our CSUCI community, since its founding in 2013. We had hoped to advertise our presence on campus and present our music to the entire CSUCI community. Another goal was to impress upon our university the importance of developing a course for Mariachi instruction and performance to both our students and staff. 2. How did the activity(s) relate to a course? Although a Mariachi class will not be on our CSUCI campus until the Spring, 2018 semester, our activities have “laid the groundwork” for the development of such a class. Many faculty, staff and students were very positive and helpful in that regard. Our class will discuss, and trace, the history of Mariachi, from Jalisco, Mexico, to its introduction in the United States; the Cultural and Social aspects, as it relates to our Hispanic Serving Institution. And, the acceptance of the Mariachi genre by our diverse student and staff population at CSUCI, as well as, our CSUCI community. 3. What did you see as the strengths of the activity(s)? As MCdCI performed at various CSUCI campus events, we discovered that many students, and staff, had no idea that a Mariachi orchestra was on our campus.

But as each of these things changes, do our tastes also change to reflect the present, or remain fixed, reflecting our past? Here, we investigate how where a person lives shapes their musical preferences, using geographic relocation to construct quasi-natural experiments that measure short- and long-term effects. Analyzing comprehensive data on over 16 million users on Spotify, we show that relocation within the United States has only a small impact on individuals' tastes, which remain more similar to those of their past environments. We then show that the age gap between a person and the music they consume indicates that adolescence, and likely their environment during these years, shapes their lifelong musical tastes. Our results demonstrate the robustness of individuals' musical identity, and shed new light on the development of preferences. Music is the soundtrack of our lives.
