  • The Singer As Priestess
    -, ' 11Ie Singer as Priestess: Interviews with Celina Gonzatez and Merceditas Valdes ".:" - , «1',..... .... .. (La Habana, 1993) Ivor Miller Celina Gonzalez: Queen of the Punto Cubano rummer Ivan Ayala) grew up in New York City listening to the music of Celina Gonzalez. * As Da child in the 1960s he was brought to Puerto Rican espiritista ceremonies, where instead of using drums, practitioners would play Celina's records to invoke the spirits. This is one way that Celina's music and the dedication of her followers have blasted through the U.S. embargo against Cuba that has deprived us of some of the planet's most potent music, art and literature for over 32 years. Ivan's experi­ ence shows the ingenuity of working people in maintaining human connections that are essential to them, in spite of governments that would keep them separate. Hailed as musical royalty in Colombia, Venezuela, Mexico, England and in Latin USA, Celina has, until very recently, been kept out of the U.S. n:tarket.2 Cuba has long been a mecca for African-derived religious and musical traditions, and Celina's music taps a deep source. It is at the same time popular and sacred, danceable and political. By using the ancient Spanish dicima song form to sing about the Yoruba deities (orichas), she has become a symbol of Cuban creole (criollo) traditions. A pantheon of orichas are worshipped in the Santeria religion, which is used by practitioners to protect humans from sickness and death, and to open the way for peace, stability, and success. During the 14 month period that I spent in Cuba from 1991-1994, I had often heard Celina's music on the radio, TV, and even at a concert/rally for the Young Communist League (UJC), where the chorus of "Long live Chango'" ("iQueviva Chango!") was chanted by thou­ Celina Gonzalez (r) and [dania Diaz (l) injront o/Celina's Santa sands of socialist Cuba's "New Men" at the Plaza of the Revolution.3 Celina is a major figure in Cuban music and cultural identity.

  • RMAL Folkloric Recommendations
    RMAL Folkloric Recommendations From the Usenet Newsgroup rec.music.afro-latin comes this list of recommended folkloric CD's (with an occasional cassette or LP). It is confined to Afro-Puerto Rican and Afro-Cuban "roots" music that is predominantly percussive/vocal; so it does not include the equally rich folkloric genre called son. Toward the end is a list of music and instruction videos and book/CD's. For those of you who are new to this genre, categories PUERTO RICO and CUBA have an asterisk * by those CDs which we think should be among your first buys. Our thanks for their generous help to Jorge Ginorio, Stan Ginn, Mike "Yambu" Doran, Zeno Okeanos and "Califa".

Se analizan los géneros utilizados y las circunstancias en las que los personajes recurren a la música popular. Se plantea que la inserCión de la músiCa popular —en el texto y en las expliCaciones de las notas— contribuye a plasmar la poética porteliana. Su uso es distinto de la manera Como procedieron otros autores para Crear un “Special Period ExotiC”. Palabras clave: cultura cubana, músiCa popular, Período EspeCial, Ena LuCía Portela Abstract: I study the presenCe oF popular music and its FunCtionality in Ena LuCía Portela’s novel Cien botellas en una pared (2002). I explore the genres that are used and the CircumstanCes in whiCh the characters evoke popular music. I argue that the inclusion oF popular musiC —in the text and in the Footnote reFerenCes— contributes to Portela’s poetiCs. It diFFers From the use by other Cuban authors as part of the SpeCial Period ExotiC.

    No pianist has played on more records that all of postrevolutionary Cuba sang along with than Pupy. And at the same time, he's a direct link to that golden age of Arsenio and Chappotín. Ned Sublette author of Cuba and Its Music: From the First Drums to the Mambo El modo de interpretar de Pupy Pedroso constituye el crossover entre la música bailable contemporanea cubana y los esquemas tradicionales heredados de los grandes pianistas soneros de los cincuentas, en particular, de su padre, Nené, quien fuera una de las luminarias de la época. Su estilo inovador, su talento para componer y orquestar y su sagacidad para lograr la preferencia pública en un país tan competitivo como Cuba, lo situan en uno de los lugares mas destacados del ambiente musical de los últimos cuarenta anos. Definitivamente Pupy, junto a José Luis “Changuito” Quintana y Juan Formell, forma parte del nucleo generador del sonido Van Van, que por tanto tiempo ha satisfecho las exigencias de los “casineros” mas puristas. Juan de Marcos composer, tresero, leader of The Afro‐Cuban All‐Stars Pupy, es poseedor de un estilo peculiar a la hora de tocar el piano, tumbaos de gran fuerza cargados de un estilo sonero indiscutible hacen de Pupy uno de los pianistas de Son mas importantes de los últimos años.” Adalberto Álvarez pianist, composer, founder of Son 14 and Adalberto Álvarez y su Son Indiscutiblemente César, Pupy, Pedroso es uno de los grandes pianistas de la música cubana de todos los tiempos. Su nombre puede ocupar un merecido lugar junto al de Luis ‘Lilí’ Martínez Griñán o Antonio María Romeu, pues al igual que ellos hicieron anteriormente, él también transformó la sonoridad del piano dentro de las proyecciones estéticas por donde cursaba la más auténtica cubanía.

  • Introducing Leonardo Acosta, Music and Literary Critic
    Vol. 5, No. 3, Spring 2008, 95-121 www.ncsu.edu/project/acontracorriente Introducing Leonardo Acosta, Music and Literary Critic Raúl A. Fernández University of California—Irvine Daniel Whitesell Irvine Valley College The recent awards bestowed on Leonardo Acosta, in particular Cuba’s Premio Nacional de Literatura (2006), come as no surprise to the authors of this article who have long been aware of the breadth and depth of Acosta’s essays on music and literature. To many, however, Acosta’s writing career has remained largely invisible. In part this is because Acosta’s major essays began to appear in the early 1980s when he was nearly fifty years old, a time by which most professional writers have established their careers; in part, because he had labored rather independently of any official Cuban institutions. As Acosta noted in his acceptance speech for the Premio Nacional de Literatura he had not been identified as “associated with any literary ‘group,’ or ‘revista,’ or ‘generation,’ or ‘cohort’. Neither had [he] participated in any aesthetic or ideological polemic affecting arts and letters…” His ‘invisibility” may also be in part because his writing has consisted primarily of ensayos, a genre Fernández 96 that attracts less attention from literary critics than poetry or prose narrative. Another contributing factor has been the diversity of the intellectual field Acosta defined for himself—he began as a professional musician, became a journalist, poet and short story writer for a decade, and then became a writer on music and literature. This career trajectory makes it difficult for any other single author to evaluate Acosta’s work as a whole.

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.
