Arsenio Rodríguez
Arsenio Rodríguez Birth name Ignacio Arsenio Travieso Scull Born August 31, 1911 Güira de Macurije, Matanzas Province, Cuba Origin Cuba Died December 31, 1970 (aged 59) Los Angeles, California, United States Genres Son montuno, guaracha, guaguancó, bolero, afro, cha- cha-cha, lamento Occupations musician Instruments tres, tumbadora (conga) Arsenio Rodríguez (born Ignacio Arsenio Travieso Scull, Güira de Macurije, 31 August 1911 – Los Angeles, 31 December 1970)was a Cuban musician, composer and bandleader.He played the tres (Cuban string instrument) in son-based music and tumbadora, or conga, in folkloric rumba. In the 1940s and 50s Rodríguez reorganized the son conjunto (‘son group’) and developed the son montuno, the basic template of modern-day salsa. He claimed to be the true creator of the mambo and was an important as well as a prolific composer who wrote nearly two hundred song lyrics.Early lifeRodríguez was born in Güira de Macurije in Bolondrón, Matanzas Province as the third of fifteen children, fourteen boys and one girl.As a young child, Rodríguez was blinded when a horse (or a mule) kicked him in the head.Rise to FameLater, Rodríguez became a musician, and eventually became one of the most renowned bandleaders on the island earning him the nickname El Ciego Maravilloso (the Marvellous Blind Man). His music emphasized Afro-Cuban rhythm as well as the melodic lead of the tres, which he played. In 1936 he played his own compositions with the Sexteto Boston, led by his cousin Jacinto Scull. The group disbanded in 1937, and he joined the Septeto Bellamar of cornetist José Interián in 1938.

Oye Como Va!: Hybridity and Identity in Latino Popular Music
1 Introduction Hybridity, Identity, and Latino Popular Music ye Como Va! I selected this phrase as the main title for this book because of its exhortation to pay attention, in this instance, to the O sonic spaces that surround us and, in particular, to the rich mixture of sounds produced and consumed by U.S. Latinos. Translated as “Listen to what’s going on!” or “Listen to how it goes!”—but more succinctly as “Listen up!”—this phrase is the title of the famous song composed by the Puerto Rican mambo and salsa bandleader/percussionist Tito Puente in 1963. A veteran of New York’s glorious Latin music boom in the 1940s and 1950s, Puente borrowed the signature introduction of “Oye Como Va!” from an older piece called “Chanchullo,” composed by the Afro-Cuban bassist Israel “Cachao” López; the rest of the composition, a cha-cha, was original. Puente may not have imagined his song as being anything other than Spanish Carib- bean, but, despite its stylistic grounding in Cuba, its composer was born in New York City, raised in a multiethnic U.S. metropolis, and surrounded by an array of Latin and non-Latin styles. In 1970, a rock version of “Oye Como Va!” recorded by Carlos Santana hit number 13 on Billboard’s Top 100 chart. Unlike the U.S.-born Puente, San- tana was an immigrant, born in Mexico and raised in Tijuana before moving to San Francisco with his parents when he was an adolescent. In reconfigur- ing Puente’s cha-cha, Santana filtered Puente’s Spanish Caribbean sensibili- ties through his own deep knowledge of U.S.

Cachao, El Súper Danzonero
Cachao, el súper danzonero Por RAUL FERNANDEZ* Entre esos locos por la música cubana que hay regados por todo el mundo existen acuerdos y desacuerdos sobre quiénes han sido las más importantes figuras de la música popular cubana en el siglo veinte. Pero uno de los puntos de concordancia general se refiere a un músico que visitará pronto el Festival de Jazz de Barranquilla, uno de nuestros verdaderos gigantes: Israel López, 'Cachao'. Sobre Cachao podríamos escribir un Esta es la foto que salió en la portada del Lp Panart libro entero; de hecho ya existen numerosos 2092; Cachao en el bajo, Gustavo Tamayo en el güiro, artículos e incluso un extenso documental sobre El Negro Vivar en la trompeta, Yeyo Iglesias, bongó; su vida y obra. Aquí nos limitaremos a destacar Guillermo en la batería, y Tata Güines en la tumbadora. dos de sus grandes contribuciones al desarrollo de la música cubana y caribeña. Para los 'tembas' relativamente jóvenes -de más de sesenta y menos de ochenta- Cachao es reconocido como el hombre de las descargas. En 1957 este personaje reunió algunos de los más eminentes músicos de La Habana para grabar las memorables Descargas en Miniatura (también llamadas Cuban Jam Sessions in Miniature). Aunque los comentaristas a menudo se refieren a las sesiones de 1957 como la mezcla realizada por Cachao del jazz con la música cubana, nada está más lejos de la realidad; el mismo Cachao ha dejado establecido que él no tenía en mente el jazz cuando se ensamblaron las sesiones. Con mayor seguridad, se puede decir que por primera vez la música cubana más candelosa se tocaba de una manera menos diseñada para la danza -aunque es posible bailar algunas de la piezas-, que para ser escuchada.

Samples 8 2009
Online-Publikationen des Arbeitskreis Studium Populärer Musik e.V. (ASPM) Hg. v. Ralf von Appen, André Doehring, Dietrich Helms u. Thomas Phleps www.aspm-samples.de/Samples8/elflein.pdf Jahrgang 8 (2009) – Version vom 30.09.2009 SOMEWHERE IN TIME — ZUM VERHÄLTNIS VON ALTER, MYTHOS UND GESCHICHTE AM BEISPIEL VON HEAVY METAL-FESTIVALS Dietmar Elflein Heavy Metal gilt als eine der um populäre Musik zentrierten Kulturwelten, die nicht auf Vorstellungen von Jugend oder Jugendlichkeit beschränkt sind, sondern zumindest hypothetisch eine weite Altersspanne umfassen. Der Umgang der Protagonisten der Kulturwelt mit der eigenen Geschichte zeigt dabei Momente der Mythisierung von Vergangenheit. Diese bildet sich unter anderem in der Programmgestaltung von Heavy Metal und Hard Rock ge- widmeten Open Air-Festivals ab und soll im Folgenden genauer untersucht werden. Diese Mythisierung wird als Folge der Überlagerung linearer und zyklischer Zeitvorstellungen gedacht. Den Anstoß für diese Betrachtungs- weise liefert die Erkenntnis, dass das Fest als zentraler Ort der Vergegen- wärtigung von Mythen für eine Gemeinschaft betrachtet werden kann und der Mythos als zentrales Moment der Konstruktion von Gemeinsamkeit im Rahmen zyklischer Zeitvorstellungen betrachtet werden muss. Erkenntnis- leitend ist die Frage, wer den Diskurs und damit die Mythosproduktion in- nerhalb der Kulturwelt bestimmt. Heavy Metal Open Air-Festivals in der BRD — ein Überblick Der »Open Air Planer«, der der Mai-Ausgabe 2008 der Zeitschrift Metal Hammer beilag, listet 45 für die Leserschaft als relevant erachtete Open Air-Festivals in der BRD auf. Die Konkurrenzzeitschrift Rock Hard verzeich- DIETMAR ELFLEIN net ebenfalls in der Mai-Ausgabe 53 Festivals (Rock Hard Nr. 252).1 Der pro- grammatische Zuschnitt der Festivals visiert als Zielgruppe entweder die Kulturwelt des Heavy Metal als Ganzes an oder favorisiert einzelne Teil- bereiche.

'Lost and Found' by Buena Vista Social Club Musician Biographies
‘Lost and Found’ by Buena Vista Social Club Musician Biographies Angá Díaz, congas (born Pinar del Rio 1961, died 2006) With his explosive soloing and inventive five conga patterns, Cuban musician Miguel ‘Angá’ Díaz was one of the world’s great congueros. Anga’s musical journey has led to him perform with the foremost experimental band in Cuba, Irakere, sojourns with innovative US jazz musicians Steve Coleman & Roy Hargrove, then back to his roots with the Afro-Cuban All Stars, Rubén González, and opening doors with the great Cuban bassist Cachaíto López on his ground-breaking album ‘Cachaíto’ and subsequent tour – Anga developed upon the basis of that album on his debut release ‘Echu Mingua’ – a unique and experimental take on classics of Cuban and Jazz repertoire, original African, DJ, contemporary Argentine, and improvised music. Angá unexpectedly died of a heart attack in 2006. Ibrahim Ferrer, vocals (Born Santiago de Cuba, Cuba 1927, died 2005) Born at a social club dance, Ibrahim Ferrer always believed it was his destiny to be a singer. Yet although he was the lead vocalist for bandleader Pacho Alonso in the 1950s, sang for the legendary Beny Moré and was lead singer with Los Bocucos, for much of his life his career was a story of disappointment. As a master vocalist in both son and bolero styles, he deserved to have been far better recognised than he was. At the time of the Buena Vista sessions, he was living in retirement, augmenting his pension by shining shoes. Invited to the Buena Vista sessions by Juan de Marcos González when a bolero singer was needed, he swiftly became a pivotal figure in the project.
