  • No Song to Sing
    c/ Enrique Granados, 49, SP. 08008 Barcelona T. (+34) 93 451 0064, [email protected] http://www.adngaleria.com No song to sing A project curated by David Armengol and Martí Manen ADN Platform. November 2015 – April 2016 Johanna Billing / Bradien + Eduard Escoffet / Lucía C. Pino / Carles Congost / Laia Estruch / Antoni Hervàs / Pepo Salazar / Tris Vonna-Michell / Richard T. Walker / Franziska Windisch Carles Congost, Mystical Drummer, 2013 The point of departure for No Song to Sing starts with two songs belonging to pop culture: a homonymous theme composed by the English musician Michael Chapman for Rainwater (1969), his first album; and one of Stevie Wonder’s most celebrated hits, I Just Called to Say I Love You (1984). In both cases, the songs opposing relation between absence and presence produces a conceptual ambiguity that relates, in a poetic way, with the sound productions of contemporary art. Initially, a big table equipped with several listening devices makes the audio pieces available to the user. This allows us to recreate and assume some domestic musical consumption habits: a record player, a CD player, a computer and headphones. Then, each of the sound proposals expands into other special and visual productions. In some situations, they are closely related to the pieces on the table; at others, however, all linkage gets severed in order to show new work sensitive to sound and adapted to art exhibition practices. Orfeo y la Montaña Sumergida [Orpheus and the Sunken Mountain] (2014) is a project by Antoni Hervàs (Barcelona, 1981) which is dedicated to one of his fetish subjects: the reenactment of the mermaid myth through performance and the staging power of drawing.

  • “Perverting the Taste of the People”: Lăutari and the Balkan Question in Romania ______
    DOI https://doi.org/10.2298/MUZ2029085L UDC 784.4(=214.58)(498) “Perverting the Taste of the People”: Lăutari and the Balkan Question in Romania ___________________________ Roderick Charles Lawford1 Cardiff University, United Kingdom „Извитоперење укуса људи“: Lăutari и балканско питање у Румунији __________________________ Родерик Чарлс Лофорд Универзитет у Кардифу, Уједињено Краљевство Received: 1 September 2020 Accepted: 9 November 2020 Original scientific article. Abstract “’Perverting the Taste of the People’: Lăutari and the Balkan Question in Ro- mania” considers the term “Balkan” in the context of Romanian Romani mu- sic-making. The expression can be used pejoratively to describe something “bar- baric” or fractured. In the “world music” era, “gypsy-inspired” music from the Balkans has become highly regarded. From this perspective “Balkan” is seen as something desirable. The article uses the case of the Romanian “gypsy” band Taraf de Haïdouks in illustration. Romania’s cultural and physical position with- in Europe can be difficult to locate, a discourse reflected in Romanian society itself, where many reject the description of Romania as a “Balkan” country. This conflict has been contested throughmanele , a Romanian popular musical genre. In contrast, manele is seen by its detractors as too “eastern” in character, an unwel- come reminder of earlier Balkan and Ottoman influences on Romanian culture. Keywords: Balkan(s), Romania, alterity, exotic, oriental, Ottoman, manele, lăutari, “gypsy”, Turkish, Roma, Romani, “world music”, subaltern. 1 [email protected] 86 МУЗИКОЛОГИЈА / MUSICOLOGY 29-2020 Апстракт „’Извитоперење укуса људи’: Lăutari и балканско питање у Румунији“ студија је у којој се разматра појам „Балкан“ у контексту музичке продукције румунских Рома.

  • New Folk: the Phenomenon of Chalga in Modern Bulgarian Folk
    New Folk: The phenomenon of chalga in modern Bulgarian folk “Edno ferari s zviat cherven, edno za teb, edno za men…” Slavi Trifonov, chalga (One red Ferrari, one for me, one for you) ©2004 Milena Droumeva Milena Droumeva Term Paper, page 1 They were silly, kitsch, synthesized tunes, which started appearing in Bulgarian media, and in the general Bulgarian cultural life in the early 1990s. Now, chalga has successfully found a niche in the Bulgarian music scene with a new image and a new name: pop folk. Initially characterized by simplistic lyrics and ‘oriental’ street sound, chalga tunes have become more popular in a few short years than any other developing music genre in Bulgaria. It is no coincidence that some of the first and most popular chalga singers and musicians were Roma 1 or ethnic Turks. These two minority groups have distinct musical roots, very different from Bulgarian folk, which were suppressed by the state for over 45 years during the communist regime. Today, in a seemingly democratic environment, music styles in Bulgaria are thriving and folk music is reclaiming new ground after years of state control. I have to admit, I, too, was one of the skeptic connoisseurs of classical and Western popular music, who thought chalga was a low-culture Gypsy genre unworthy of attention. Having now been away from Bulgaria for four years and being immersed in Vancouver’s diverse music scene, I have gained a more rounded cosmopolitan perspective on music. I don’t see chalga or even Bulgarian folk as sporadic unrelated music genres anymore , but as interdependent events, richly influenced by each other, as well as by the music of Turkey, Greece and the rest of the Balkans.

  • Ally Hand Weapons Designed for Use Against Armor
    University of Massachusetts Boston The University Mace Symbols of authority and power, maces were originally hand weapons designed for use against armor. Topped by the flame of knowledge, the University mace has the University seal as a focal point and unifying element. Tassels of maroon and white hang from the shaft of fourteen rods of black walnut, symbolizing the fourteen counties of the Commonwealth. The head of the mace is gold plate over highly polished brass. Complex curves radiating from the hub in which the seal is centered reflect light in constantly changing patterns, symbolic of the many-faceted environment of the university life. Academic Costume and Regalia The academic regalia worn by faculty and students at this ceremony repre­ sent traditions which come down from the Middle Ages, when European universities were institutions of the church. At that time, robes were a common form of dress, particularly for officials of church and state. The cut of the robe, its adornment, and the colors used comprised a specialized heraldry that conveyed the rank and station of the wearer. At the universities, both faculty and students were considered to be part of the church hierarchy and were expected to wear the prescribed gowns. As society moved toward more modern forms of dress, only royalty, clergy, judges, and academics retained the traditional regalia, reserving it only for ceremonial use. Modern academic regalia retain some of the symbols of the earlier forms of ceremonial dress. The gown tends to be fullest, longest, and heaviest for the doctoral degree. The sleeves for the bachelor's and master's gowns are typi­ cally open at the wrist.

When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photograi^er suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in “sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from “photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Beyond Nation? a Thrice-Told Tale from Bulgaria's Postsocialist
    Beyond Nation? A Thrice-Told Tale from Bulgaria’s Postsocialist Soundstage Donna A. Buchanan, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign Abstract: This article juxtaposes musical and dramatic productions popularized by three prominent Bulgarian national folkloric ensembles during the 2000s to illuminate the perspectival dialogues on nation at play within Bulgarian artistic communities. While presentations by the National Folkloric Ensemble “Bŭlgare” traffic in timeworn but disturbingly powerful primordialist appeals to ethnonationalist sentiment, those of rhythmic gymnast Neshka Robeva’s company “Neshanŭl Art” sidestep and extend the concept of nation by resituating local choreography and movement in a diaspora of international venues and transnational genres. Most strikingly, through strategically composed and choreographed works that call upon diverse regional and international folkloric and popular culture styles, including those of minority populations, the National Folkloric Ensemble “Philip Kutev” is deliberately performing against gender and ethnonationalist stereotypes in favor of productions cosmopolitan in form and postnationalist in content. In so doing, they are redefining the very essence of “national” folklore in direct defiance of a lingering socialist-era cultural policy legacy, while simultaneously parrying market tensions, touristic expectations, and dwindling governmental support.
