His contributions to the area of classical guitar have inspired a couple of reputable composers to write music especially for him, including Joaquín Rodrigo, Federico Moreno Torroba, Rev. Francisco de Madina, Lorenzo Palomo and Celedonio Romero. Born on March 8, 1944 in Malaga, Spain, Pepe Romero is the second son of the "Royal Guitar Family", the Romeros. His father, legendary Celedonio Romero, was his only guitar teacher. His first professional performance was a concert he played together with his father. He was only seven years old then. On his current record, Songs My Father Taught Me, he plays his father´s favorite compositions. Shortly, several Boccherini Quintets for guitar and string quartet, recorded for UNICEF, will be released. A new transcription for guitar of the Música nocturna de Madrid will be amongst them. One of his last solo recordings is a brilliant performance of opera phantasies for guitar. A recording with „I Musici“ was finished in summer 1991, and in spring 1992 he recorded Concierto de Aranjuez and selected pieces of music of Joaquín Rodrigo to laser disc, together with Neville Marriner and the Academy-of-St.-Martin-in-the-Fields.

  • NI 240217 Rosario Castellanos.Pdf
    Senado de la República, 24 de febrero de 2017 ROSARIO CASTELLANOS: UN ESFUERZO DIPLOMÁTICO DE ACERCAMIENTO CULTURAL ENTRE MÉXICO E ISRAEL1 El Centro de Estudios Internacionales Gilberto Bosques presenta la segunda entrega de la serie de Notas Informativas sobre destacados intelectuales del siglo XX y sus aportaciones a la diplomacia mexicana. En esta ocasión es el turno de una de las más importantes representantes de las letras en México y quien, aunque brevemente, representó a México en el exterior con una misión diplomática eficaz y hasta hoy recordada: Rosario Castellanos. 1 Fuente: Episodios de la Diplomacia Mexicana, “Rosario Castellanos: las palabras y las danzas de México en Israel “, p.247, número 103, Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores, enero-abril de 2015. Introducción: la labor del diplomático Los representantes de México en el exterior han sido participes de primer orden en la historia del país. En general, destacan grandes actores en la creación de la identidad y del Estado nacional que han servido como representantes de los intereses de México en el exterior. Aquellos que, además de su labor diplomática, han estado cercanos al mundo de la cultura, tienen también la ventaja de conocer la tradición mexicana del mundo de las letras, del teatro o la poesía, además de la historia y la vida pública de su país. La investidura del intelectual va, sin lugar a dudas, más allá de la de los representantes reconocidos por la calidad diplomática respectiva sino también, y quizá más importante aún, por su pluma, su voz, sus ideas o pensamientos, convirtiendo así su propia personalidad y su trabajo creativo en el motor del intercambio entre las sociedades.

  • Biografía Pepe Romero 2017
    Pepe Romero (Málaga, España, 1944) Al acercarnos a la vida y la obra de Pepe Romero nos encontramos ante una de las pocas leyendas vivientes de la guitarra y de la música clásica, de los pocos que hayan mantenido grandeza y progresión a lo largo de sus vidas. Pepe Romero es uno de esos escasos privilegiados. Ha sido distinguido y condecorado por reyes, jefes de estado e importantes entidades – los reconocimientos continúan sin cesar-, pero para Romero su mayor logro ha sido llegar a la gente común. Ha sabido comunicar la belleza y riqueza de la guitarra clásica a millones de personas en todo el mundo. Es, sin duda, embajador de la guitarra clásica y, por tanto, de la música clásica. Pero este talento no es un producto de la nada: Pepe es el segundo hijo de uno de los más grandes guitarristas que jamás han existido, Celedonio Romero, y es hermano de otros dos prodigios musicales: Celín y Ángel Romero. Nació en Málaga (España) en 1944. En aquel tiempo, después de la devastadora Guerra Civil (1936 – 1939) y con Europa en plena Segunda Guerra Mundial, España estaba sumida en una abismal estrechez económica. La supervivencia básica era el reto fundamental. A pesar de ello, Celedonio Romero y su inestimable esposa, Angelita, inculcaron en sus hijos un amor por la música que superaba la profunda miseria que les asediaba. Estas circunstancias, unidas a su animadversión al régimen franquista, indujeron al matrimonio Romero a emigrar con sus tres hijos, a comienzos de los años 50, a los Estados Unidos. Es en este pais donde se ha desarrollado prácticamente toda su carrera, lo que no es obstáculo para que Pepe se sienta profundamente español y malagueño.

  • ACG-Presents-Pepe-Romero-Sept-26-2020-Concert-Program.Pdf
    AN ACG STORY Our blog is overflowing with beautiful stories, videos, and insights. We include one in every virtual concert program, but if you’d like to read more, or see the videos they mention, just visit AustinClassicalGuitar.org. Here’s tonight’s story... Our 30th season begins. Ever since his standing-room-only, sold-out, people-in-the- hallways, first performance for ACG on Friday, October 10th, 2003 at the Unitarian Church, guitar legend Pepe Romero has been a huge part of Austin Classical Guitar. He has lifted us over the years with his music, with his stories, with his generosity, and his deep, spiritual presence. Los Romeros’ Father’s Day concert in 2006 marked the beginning of our summer ensemble programming. When we hosted the Guitar Foundation of America and produced sixty five events in six days at the Long Center, the week began with Pepe’s solo recital to a sold-out crowd in Dell Hall, introduced by the UT System Chancellor Dr. Francisco Cigarroa, and live-broadcast by KMFA. It’s because of this deep connection, that we couldn’t imagine anyone else opening our 30th year. One of our warmest memories was made on October 13th, 2016, when Pepe graciously agreed to perform and record Vivaldi’s Concerto in D Major with over 80 of our high school students from all around Austin. (video on our website) Rey Rodriguez, a student who we met in our local school programs Bedichek Middle School under the direction of Phil Swasey, and Crockett High School under the direction of Ron Hare, was part of the performance in 2016.

  • Vampires in Balún Canán: the Monstrous and Dzulum
    8 Vampires in Balún Canán: The Monstrous and Dzulum Ariel Zatarain Tumbaga This essay studies the significance of the Dzulum, a venerated supernatural presence of indigenous origins, as it pertains to the lives of the women in Rosario Castellanos’s Balún Canán (1957). It is an examination of the Dzulum as a kind of monster created by the feminist author in her celebrated Indigenista novel, which protests the abuses of the Tzeltal-Mayan people by nonindigenous (or Ladino) Mexicans. Balún Canán, which takes place during the agrarian reforms of President Lázaro Cárdenas (1934–1940) and the confiscation of large estates and redistribution of lands to the rural indigenous and mestizo poor, focuses on the violent tensions provoked by these socioeconomic changes. But it also tackles the question of the marginalization of women in rural Mexico in a post-Revolution period when Cardenismo also promoted women’s rights and suffrage––unfulfilled promises, contends Anna Macías, until 1953, and not fully exercised until 1958, a year after the publication of Balún Canán (Against All Odds 145–46). Citing an inventory of stereotypes and myths as evidence, in addition to the legal maze into which Mexico consigns its women citizens, Macías concludes that “in general, Mexican men view women as ‘others,’ not as equals” (158). Is the Dzulum a symbol of the indigenous insurrection placed at the center of the novel, a consequence of the 1930s agrarian reforms and indigenismo politics? Could the Dzulum represent Mexican masculinity Writing Monsters: Essays on Iberian and Latin American Cultures Hispanic Issues On Line 15 (2014) 141 ♦ VAMPIRES IN BALÚN CANÁN: THE MONSTROUS AND DZULUM and the power it holds over the nation’s women? The representative qualities of the Dzulum pivot on whether one reads Balún Canán as an Indigenista or a feminist novel (about the gendered subaltern).
