Une révolution se prépare... « Bang ! Bang ! ». Le Boogaloo est né ! Tambourin et claps de mains sur le 3ème temps. Claquements de doigts. Cuivres, percussions, riffs de piano, basse hypnotique. La fièvre Boogaloo déferle sur la planète. Après cette vague euphorique et fulgurante, la salsa reprendra son envol. Mais pendant 3 ans (1966-1969), les « King of the Boogaloo » seront... les rois ! Hommage à ces musiciens de génie avec un mix spécial « 50 ans du Boogaloo » concocté par DJ KonsöLe : « Ritmo Moderno ! » Vous voulez du Boogaloo ? Voilà du Boogaloo ! Le DJ ajuste son casque, pose un disque sur la platine et la magie du Boogaloo envahit la piste de danse. Collectionneur fou de musiques éclectiques aux influences « jazz-world-electro », DJ KonsöLe écoute — et fait entendre — des rythmes afro-cubains depuis maintenant plus de 20 ans. « Jai eu ma "période Boogaloo" dans les années 2000 », confie-t-il. Une période où il bouffait Boogaloo, causait Boogaloo, buvait Boogaloo, dormait Boogaloo, rêvait Boogaloo. Bref, il boogalooait — verbe intransitif du 1er groupe — à longueur de temps. Copyright © 7 Lames la Mer Page 2/12 Boogaloo : le « Ritmo Moderno » a 50 ans DJ KonsöLe dans les studios du label "Strut Records" à Londres. Le Boogaloo, c'est New York, Spanish Harlem, La nuit... Le Boogaloo serait-il, plus qu'un genre musical — certains parlent de « sous-genre » — une façon de vivre ? Une « way of life » inventée au fond du mythique chaudron de Harlem ? L'arbre généalogique de la « latin music » est tellement touffu, avec tant de ramifications, que même les spécialistes et les puristes y perdent parfois leur... latin. « C'est du "latin jazz" mais avec un rythme binaire », explique DJ KonsöLe. « C'est un style plus léger dans l'esprit que les autres courants du « latin jazz » : mambo, rumba, cha-cha-cha. Et moins saccadé que la salsa. Les musiciens s'interpellent et interpellent le public, tout en jouant. C'est un mélange de "rhythm and blues" et de musiques latines. Le Boogaloo a une identité urbaine très marquée avec son argot, ses codes, ses références. Le Boogaloo, c'est New York... Spanish Harlem... La nuit »... Copyright © 7 Lames la Mer Page 3/12 Boogaloo : le « Ritmo Moderno » a 50 ans Image extraite du film "We like it like that", consacré à l'histoire du Boogaloo, du réalisateur Mathew Ramirez Warren, sorti initialement en 2014. Une musique comme un pied-de-nez à la société violente et raciste C'est dans les bars, les clubs et les rues du Spanish Harlem que le Boogaloo est concocté, au coeur des années 60, par des musiciens, souvent adolescents — teenagers. Portoricains, Cubains, Afro-Américains, Philippins... Issus de l'immigration, ces jeunes inventent une musique, une danse, un style, comme un pied-de-nez à la société violente et raciste qu'ils affrontent au quotidien. « Quelques Boogaloos étaient chantés en espagnol », analyse DJ KonsöLe. « Mais dans les musiques afro-cubaines, le Boogaloo marque une rupture car c'est l'un des rares styles chanté en anglais. C'est une des spécificités du genre : être chanté surtout en anglais ». "We like it like that", film du réalisateur Mathew Ramirez Warren, consacré à l'histoire du Boogaloo, sorti initialement en 2014. rumba, mambo, cha-cha-cha, pachanga... boogaloo ! Copyright © 7 Lames la Mer Page 4/12 Boogaloo : le « Ritmo Moderno » a 50 ans L'héritage du mouvement « Harlem Renaissance » — pour sa dimension musicale principalement — se traduit là d'abord à travers l'esprit, puis dans l'ambiance et dans les rythmes. Le relais s'est transmis d'une génération à l'autre par les méandres du « latin jazz » : rumba, mambo, cha-cha-cha, pachanga... boogaloo ! Mais après avoir brillé pendant trois ans, le Boogaloo s'effacera pour permettre l'émergence de la salsa et d'autres styles tel le « latin'funk ». La cartographie des rues de Harlem L'historien Juan Flores (1943 - 2014) de l'université de New York met en lumière la fonction sociale du Boogaloo. Selon Flores, le Boogaloo est avant tout l'« incarnation de l'interaction sociale et culturelle » qui s'est exprimée à travers la cartographie des rues de Harlem : celles du secteur espagnol et celles du côté afro-américain. Un frottement fécond qui contraste avec les histoires de gangs habituellement associées à ces quartiers et qui, le temps d'un boogaloo, transcende les terribles problèmes sociaux. Des musiciens qui ont grandi dans l'effervescence et le sillage de l'« Harlem Renaissance » vont directement participer à l'explosion du Boogaloo en 1966, comme par exemple Henry « Pucho » Brown, né à Harlem en 1938, influencé par Duke Ellington, Count Basie... Copyright © 7 Lames la Mer Page 5/12 Boogaloo : le « Ritmo Moderno » a 50 ans Boogalooer, c'est prendre le contre-pied des anciens Mais cet héritage fabuleux, le Boogaloo en est à la fois l'expression et l'antithèse... car avec le Boogaloo, les codes sont bousculés, les tendances sont bouleversées, les références sont renversées. Boogalooer, c'est aussi prendre le contre-pied des anciens... avec tout le respect qui leur est du. Le Boogaloo devient le langage commun et jubilatoire de ces jeunes musiciens, leur lieu de rencontre et de reconnaissance. Pas de message politique clairement exprimé à travers les paroles du Boogaloo — ou très peu — mais une posture résolument jouissive et contagieuse. Une posture assumée qui constitue en elle-même une démarche de construction identitaire et d'émancipation. Image extraite de la pochette du disque "El Barrio" : Sounds from the Spanish Harlem Streets by Various Artists. Tous... "King of the Boogaloo" (ou presque) Copyright © 7 Lames la Mer Page 6/12 Boogaloo : le « Ritmo Moderno » a 50 ans « Le Boogaloo est un formidable phénomène générationnel, aussi intense qu'il est bref puisqu'il ne dure que trois ans », poursuit DJ KonsöLe. « C'est l'expression des jeunes musiciens, des "teen-agers". D'ailleurs, au début, les anciens dénigraient le Boogaloo mais face à son succès populaire, "tout le monde" s'est mis à faire du Boogaloo et "tout le monde" — ou presque — se proclamait "King of the Boogaloo" sur les pochettes de disque ». D'autres styles émergent dans les sillons creusés par le Boogaloo : « Latin soul », « Shing-a-Ling », « African twist »... Des labels s'emparent du phénomène : le plus célèbre, Fania [1] rachète ses concurrents : Tico et Alegre. Photo extraite de la pochette de l'album "My Ghetto", Kent Gomez. Le Boogaloo, un des mouvements précurseurs du hip-hop Mais revenons au point de départ... Au berceau : le Spanish Harlem. Certains ont considéré le « Watermelon Man » d'Herbie Hancock, sorti en 1962, comme le « Boogaloo originel » mais l'étincelle qui « mettra le feu » au « Palm Gardens Ballrooom », une salle de danse pleine à craquer au coeur de Harlem, en 1966, c'est « Bang ! Bang ! », de Joe Cuba, qui sera édité chez « Tico records ». « Bang ! Bang ! » inaugure l'âge d'or du Boogaloo. « I Like It Like That » de Pete Rodriguez, chez « Alegre Records », lui emboîte le pas. « Chez José », légendaire club new yorkais, devient le lieu de ralliement de tous les mordus de Boogaloo. « Au bout de trois ans, le style a commencé à s'essouffler », conclut DJ KonsöLe. « La vague s'est retirée. Et la Salsa est entrée dans la danse. Mais le Boogaloo aura marqué l'histoire de la musique, inspirant la vogue de Copyright © 7 Lames la Mer Page 7/12 Boogaloo : le « Ritmo Moderno » a 50 ans l'"Electric Boogaloo" et considéré comme un des mouvements précurseurs du hip-hop ». Le Boogaloo, nouvelle vague. 73 minutes de « Ritmo Moderno ! » avec DJ KonsöLe Cinquante ans plus tard, la vague Boogaloo serait-elle de retour ? C'est ce qu'affirment les spécialistes des musiques latines. Et cette nouvelle vague est portée par les DJ pour notre plus grand plaisir ! Alors, prêts pour le Boogaloo ? Prêts pour 73 minutes de « Ritmo Moderno ! », soit 25 morceaux sélectionnés par DJ KonsöLe ? « J'ai choisi ces morceaux de Boogaloo parmi ceux que je préfère », précise DJ KonsöLe. « Mon style de prédilection, c'est le "latin soul", plus jazz et mélancolique que le "shing-a-ling", le Boogaloo festif, mais néanmoins au groove irrésistible ». Boogalooez !

  • RAFAEL CORTIJO Perc
    AMIGOS DEL SON CALI Audición Mayo 6 de 2011 “CORTIJO Y SU COMBO Y VIENTOS MOVIDOS PARA EL BAILADOR” RAFAEL CORTIJO Percusionista, Compositor y Director Fecha de nacimiento: 11 de diciembre de 1928 , Parada 21, Santurce, Puerto Rico Falleció el 3 de octubre de 1982 en Santurce, Puerto Rico En el diccionario de la música afroantillana, el nombre de Rafael Cortijo es sinónimo de leyenda. Una de sus figuras cumbres y más veneradas. Líder de una de las organizaciones rítmicas más admiradas durante la segunda mitad del Siglo 20: Cortijo y Su Combo. Maestro del tambor caribeño. Inspirador de dos generaciones de cultores de la rumba y de los puertorriqueñísimos ritmos de bomba y plena. Este personaje irrepetible, de origen muy humilde, era hijo de Juan Cortijo Clemente y Juana Verdejo, quienes también procrearon a Francisco, Cecilia, Rosa y Gilberto. Contaba 11 años cuando el trompetista Paulino Flores lo introdujo al fascinante universo de la música caribeña enseñándole lo elemental en la ejecución del bongó. En lo sucesivo, sin maestro, aprendió a ejecutar el timbal, las tumbadoras – o congas – y algunos acordes en la guitarra. A los 14 emprendió su carrera musical uniéndose, como bongosero, al Conjunto Hermanas Soustache (1943-1944). Posteriormente (1944-1947) figuró en el Conjunto Monterrey, de Monchito Muley y Juan Palm «Mentoquín». Durante el período 1947-1953 trabajó de manera alternada con las orquestas de Frank Madera, Armando Castro, Augusto Coén y Miguelito Miranda, así como con la Sonora Boricua de Daniel Santos y los conjuntos acompañantes de Bobby Capó, Myrta Silva, Ruth Fernández y Miguelito Valdés, culminando aquella etapa con el dirigido por el pianista Mario Román en La Riviera Night Club, en el Viejo San Juan.

  • Bc Salsa: Identity,Musicianshipand Performance in Vancouver’Safro-Latinorchestras
    BC SALSA: IDENTITY, MUSICIANSHIP AND PERFORMANCE IN VANCOUVER’S AFRO-LATIN ORCHESTRAS by MALCOLM Al KEN B.Mus., The University of British Columbia, 2004 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2009 © Malcolm Aiken, 2009 11 ABSTRACT For over twenty-five years, musicians, dancers and singers of Afro-Latin music have maintained an active presence in the culturally diverse music scene of Vancouver, BC. During this time, the music performed and created by this group of artists has undergone dynamic changes in sound and function, reflecting a new transcultural music identity. This music, commonly referred to as salsa, is being created, performed and transformed by musicians of all backgrounds and social classes. Local composers are incorporating a variety of musical influences into their music and assimilating elements of the city’s music cultures. Today, an eclectic mix of musicians in Vancouver are creating new forms of music rooted in the Afro-Latin music traditions, and are establishing a unique contemporary musical scene. At the forefront of salsa’s local history are the Afro-Latin dance bands prominent in the city’s dance community. Their impact on the musicians and local music culture has been paramount and pivotal to the exposure of salsa to a mainstream Canadian audience. One prominent factor in the continued growth of the music has been the influence of the many non—Latino musicians who have assimilated into the salsa community as performers. Their musical and cultural influences have helped push the music in new directions and maintained the music’s relevance within the wider arts community.

  • Rethinking Minimalism: at the Intersection of Music Theory and Art Criticism
    Rethinking Minimalism: At the Intersection of Music Theory and Art Criticism Peter Shelley A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee Jonathan Bernard, Chair Áine Heneghan Judy Tsou Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Music Theory ©Copyright 2013 Peter Shelley University of Washington Abstract Rethinking Minimalism: At the Intersection of Music Theory and Art Criticism Peter James Shelley Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Dr. Jonathan Bernard Music Theory By now most scholars are fairly sure of what minimalism is. Even if they may be reluctant to offer a precise theory, and even if they may distrust canon formation, members of the informed public have a clear idea of who the central canonical minimalist composers were or are. Sitting front and center are always four white male Americans: La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, and Philip Glass. This dissertation negotiates with this received wisdom, challenging the stylistic coherence among these composers implied by the term minimalism and scrutinizing the presumed neutrality of their music. This dissertation is based in the acceptance of the aesthetic similarities between minimalist sculpture and music. Michael Fried’s essay “Art and Objecthood,” which occupies a central role in the history of minimalist sculptural criticism, serves as the point of departure for three excursions into minimalist music. The first excursion deals with the question of time in minimalism, arguing that, contrary to received wisdom, minimalist music is not always well understood as static or, in Jonathan Kramer’s terminology, vertical. The second excursion addresses anthropomorphism in minimalist music, borrowing from Fried’s concept of (bodily) presence.
