…embracing cultural identity through music “Crooked Stilo’s music will not pass inadvertently as just another trend, they will remain as a Stilo (true style).” CROOKED STILO’s story began in the streets. In the barrio. In the pulsating heart of Los Angeles. Facing a reality that too often collides with a fantasy that seems to inundate every street corner of ‘The City of Angels.’ In the midst of that Latin Hip Hop duo CROOKED STILO emerges as one of the most important and respected recording artists in the genre formed by brothers Víctor 'El Lunátiko' & Johnny López. CROOKED STILO are the creators of a new genre “Cumbia Urbana” all while remaining faithful to Hip Hop just adding a little ‘crooked’ twist of tropical influences. Their highly anticipated album titled “Cumbia Urbana-The Album” reflects just that an incredible Cumbia and Hip Hop fusion key to their international success. The duo reached out to their roots to create an album with a Latin flavor where the sizzling ‘cumbia’ genre predominates from start to end. The duo noticed that while on the road their fans -demanded -they perform their entire cumbia influenced repertoire. Historically Hip Hop started with sampling (taking sound bites from old records), “in our particular case the records we had to take samples off where my dad’s record collection, which was 100% cumbia, we grew up listening and dancing to cumbia, and the genre is a big part of our Salvadoran culture. The identity we were looking for at the beginning was always in front of us, so we just embraced it,” comments CROOKED STILO. The recording process of this album represented a challenge as most of the songs where recorded live, a practice not widely used in the Hip-Hop world- where sampling and computer sequencing predominate. The album was produced by CROOKED STILO and mixed by GRAMMY® award winning producer John Karpowitz, credited for his work with the legend Carlos Santana amongst others. In 2004, Crooked Stilo’s career would take a new path upon the release of “Puro Escandalo,” in which the group voiced their identity, both ethnic and personal, in a very ‘sensually scandalous’ . This album earned them critical acclaim and a nomination for Billboard Latin Music awards for ‘Best Urban Album’ as well as a performance with Daddy Yankee & P.Diddy. “Puro Escandalo,” featured 12 cuts that introduced a fusion of Latin music influences that resulted in a concoction of cumbia, salsa, merengue, sonidero rhythms with that of modern rap and hip-hop in Spanish. …embracing cultural identity through music .

Preparing for the future: A description of client music preferences and musical preparedness of music therapists by Nathan A. Mensah, MT-BC A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement For the Master of Arts Degree Master of Arts in Music Therapy Program in the Departments of Graduate Studies and Music and Theatre Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana May, 2019 Abstract Music therapists often use client-preferred music in order to build rapport with clients, decrease their anxiety, increase relaxation, and increase overall efficacy of music interventions. The American Music Therapy Association states music therapists are required to play a wide variety of genres for use in sessions. Client’s musical tastes have grown diverse due to music streaming, and some music therapists may not have the musical skills necessary to recreate these styles in sessions. Currently, there is no data to show which genres and music styles are most commonly requested by their clients, or data to show which genres music therapists feel musically prepared or unprepared to use in sessions. A survey was used to collect data from board-certified music therapists to ask about which genres their clients most commonly request, as well as which genres they feel musically prepared using in sessions. The survey’s findings were that client’s most frequently requested Children’s, Classic Country, Classic Rock, Gospel, Hymn, Oldies, and Pop Music. Respondents reported to feeling most musically prepared to use genres that were most frequently requested by their clients. Music therapists reported not feeling musically prepared to use genres associated with World Music cultures or genres requiring use of electronic or synth- based instruments such as Bachata, EDM, Funk, Heavy Metal, Hip Hop/Rap, J-Pop, K-Pop, Latin Hip Hop/Latin Rap, Latin Pop, Merengue, Punk, Reggaeton, Salsa, Ska, Trap, and Video Game Music.

Contact: [email protected] Choutouts: Language contact and US-Latin hip hop on YouTube Matt Garley This paper presents a corpus-sociolinguistic analysis of lyrics and com- ments from videos for four US-Latinx hip hop songs on YouTube. A ‘post-varieties’ (Seargeant and Tagg 2011) analysis of the diversity and hybridity of linguistic production in the YouTube comments finds the notions of codemeshing and plurilingualism (Canagarajah 2009) useful in characterizing the language practices of the Chicanx community of the Southwestern US, while a focus on the linguistic practices of com- menters on Northeastern ‘core’ artists’ tracks validate the use of named language varieties in examining language attitudes and ideologies as they emerge in commenters’ discussions. Finally, this article advances the sociolinguistics of orthography (Sebba 2007) by examining the social meanings of a vast array of creative and novel orthographic forms, which often blur the supposed lines between language varieties. Keywords: Latinx, hip hop, orthography, codemeshing, language contact, language attitudes, language ideologies, computer-mediated discourse.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN Pancho McFarland ‘Here is Something You Can’t Understand…’ Chicano Rap and the Critique of Globalization “Truth sparks revolution and is therefore labeled violent” (PSYCHO REALM, “LOST CITIES,” 1997) It seems to me that the single most important trend facing Chicanas and Chicanos today is globalization and, more specifically, economic restructuring in the United States that since the 1970s has caused job dislocation, deindustrialization, lowered wages, increased unemployment, increased poverty, etc. As a result Chicana and Chicano standards of living, like that of most groups, has declined. Moreover, government disinvestments in cities, preferring instead to finance suburban growth, has caused the social ills that we all associate with the inner city. Combine this with few prospects for jobs in the future and few educational opportunities and you have a volatile mix.

Techno Rebelde.Qxp
Techno Rebelde Un siglo de músicas electrónicas Ariel Kyrou traficantes de sueños Traficantes de Sueños no es una casa editorial, ni siquiera una editorial independiente que contempla la publicación de una colección variable de textos críticos. Es, por el contrario, un proyecto, en el sentido estricto de «apuesta», que se dirige a cartografiar las líneas constituyentes de otras formas de vida. La construcción teórica y práctica de la caja de herra- mientas que, con palabras propias, puede componer el ciclo de luchas de las próximas décadas Sin complacencias con la arcaica sacralidad del libro, sin concesiones con el narcisismo literario, sin lealtad alguna a los usurpadores del saber, TdS adopta sin ambages la libertad de acceso al conocimiento. Queda, por tanto, permitida y abierta la reproducción total o parcial de los textos publicados, en cualquier formato imaginable, salvo por explícita voluntad del autor o de la autora y sólo en el caso de las ediciones con ánimo de lucro. Omnia sunt communia! historia Omnia sunt communia! o “Todo es común” fue el grito colectivista de los campesinos anabaptistas, alzados de igual modo contra los príncipes protestantes y el emperador católico. Barridos de la faz de la tierra por sus enemigos, su historia fue la de un posible truncado, la de una alter- nativa a su tiempo que quedó encallada en la guerra y la derrota, pero que sin embargo en el principio de su exigencias permanece profunda- mente actual. En esta colección, que recoge tanto novelas históricas como rigurosos estudios científicos, se pretende reconstruir un mapa mínimo de estas alternativas imposibles: los rastros de viejas batallas que sin llegar a defi- nir completamente nuestro tiempo, nos han dejado la vitalidad de un anhelo tan actual como el del grito anabaptista.

LRC 2021 Sponsorship Deck Editable
LAS VEGAS OCT 27-28, 2021 What is The Latin Rhythm Conference? Thank you for taking the time to review this sponsorship proposal for the next LRC event! A scene from the Corporate Marketing Panel as executives from Billboard, UBO, Urban Latino, The Latin Rhythm Conference is the latest Batanga, and US Concepts discussed the issues installment, and evolution of the LRC, formerly involved in reaching this demographic known primarily as Latin Rap Conference. It is a 2-day music industry conference and cultural experience. With the emergence of powerful sub-genres and the ever-growing global appeal of Urban Latino music, the LRC has expanded to be more inclusive, celebrating a wider range of Latinx, Chicano, Mexican, and Urban Latin musical contributions. LRC is the only music industry conference focusing on the Reggaeton, Latin Rap, Latin Trap, and Latin R&B genres. The mission of LRC is to unite, educate, empower, and support networking and collaboration within the Urban Latin music industry, including all partners and affiliates. Who attends LRC? Through the success of past events, LRC has become the premier forum for Urban Latin music’s top executives, professionals, record companies, artists, producers, songwriters, promoters, DJs, content creators, digital streaming platforms, online influencers, radio personalities, tastemakers, and trendsetters, to discuss and take action towards the goals of education and Latino community and industry empowerment. LRC conferences have attracted 500-750 participants on average, predominantly music industry insiders who, in turn, have attracted sponsors, marketers, and corporations such as ASCAP, BMI, Billboard, Clear Channel, Univision, Telemundo, MTV, Sirius, XM, and more.

The Rise of Reggaeton | Norient.Com 29 Sep 2021 19:42:31
The Rise of Reggaeton | norient.com 29 Sep 2021 19:42:31 The Rise of Reggaeton by Wayne Marshall That beat you’ve been hearing – the steady boom-ch-boom- chick rattling the trunks of passing cars and moving masses in the club – isn’t just another fleeting hip-hop trend. It’s the new sound of the Americas. Reggaeton has already accomplished something that other Latin musical forms – son, mambo, salsa, merengue, bachacta – never quite attained: not only has the music ignited the imaginations of young Latinos and Latinas, but it’s found unprecedented favour in mainstream US culture. Just a few years ago the Spanish one heard on non-Latin, commercial radio was limited to «Feliz Navidad» and «La Vida Loca»; now one hears 15 to 30 minute blocks of Spanish-language pop on the same stations that promise nothing but «blazin’ hip-hop and R&B». Indeed, reggaeton’s inroads into hip-hop’s media channels may prove crucial in the genre’s ability to transcend, all hype aside, the «craze» status that has marked previous spikes of interest in Latin music. In contrast to the exotic cast that has consistently marked Latin music packaged for non-Latin audiences, reggaeton enjoys a sonic profile that, for all its syncopation and sway, is heard as something more familiar, more modern, more American (in the US-centric sense). Reggaeton artists and producers have not simply piggybacked on the success of their hip-hop brethren, they have exploited and expanded hip-hop’s hustle-hustle business model, especially in such areas as shameless self-promotion, savvy cross-branding, street-team marketing, and grassroots distribution.
