  • Creolizing Contradance in the Caribbean
    Peter Manuel 1 / Introduction Contradance and Quadrille Culture in the Caribbean region as linguistically, ethnically, and culturally diverse as the Carib- bean has never lent itself to being epitomized by a single music or dance A genre, be it rumba or reggae. Nevertheless, in the nineteenth century a set of contradance and quadrille variants flourished so extensively throughout the Caribbean Basin that they enjoyed a kind of predominance, as a common cultural medium through which melodies, rhythms, dance figures, and per- formers all circulated, both between islands and between social groups within a given island. Hence, if the latter twentieth century in the region came to be the age of Afro-Caribbean popular music and dance, the nineteenth century can in many respects be characterized as the era of the contradance and qua- drille. Further, the quadrille retains much vigor in the Caribbean, and many aspects of modern Latin popular dance and music can be traced ultimately to the Cuban contradanza and Puerto Rican danza. Caribbean scholars, recognizing the importance of the contradance and quadrille complex, have produced several erudite studies of some of these genres, especially as flourishing in the Spanish Caribbean. However, these have tended to be narrowly focused in scope, and, even taken collectively, they fail to provide the panregional perspective that is so clearly needed even to comprehend a single genre in its broader context. Further, most of these pub- lications are scattered in diverse obscure and ephemeral journals or consist of limited-edition books that are scarcely available in their country of origin, not to mention elsewhere.1 Some of the most outstanding studies of individual genres or regions display what might seem to be a surprising lack of familiar- ity with relevant publications produced elsewhere, due not to any incuriosity on the part of authors but to the poor dissemination of works within (as well as 2 Peter Manuel outside) the Caribbean.

  • Graduate Courses Spring 2021
    CLAS Course Offerings – Spring 2021 Graduate Courses Professor Course Michael Birenbaum Course: CFA MH563 Quintero Title: World Music Ensemble: Salsa Description: This performance-based course explores salsa music, its roots and its multiple forms. The repertoire may include Afro- Cuban traditional and religious drumming (rumba, güiro and batá), Cuban peasant music (changüí), Puerto Rican traditional music (jíbaro, bomba, and plena), other musics of the Spanish Caribbean (merengue, cumbia, bachata) Latin popular music (son, danzón, mambo, bolero, charanga, chachachá), and multiple salsa variants (salsa dura, boogaloo, songo). Musical focuses will include clave timeline sense, tumbao, rhythmic lock and variation, and principles of in-clave improvisation. Days: Thursdays Hours: 6.30-9.15pm. Course: CFA MH831 Title: Music Histories and Ethnographies in Latin America Description: This course examines both classical and new studies of music in Latin America, on a range of subjects including indigenous societies, Afro-descendant religion, creole genres, modern popular music, transnational musical movements, classical music and experimental music. We will examine texts in English and English translation, inquiring not only into musical practices themselves, but also the ways in which music and the popular become objects of knowledge in Latin America; musical interpellations of race, gender, class, and sexuality; and the mobilizations of music and sound for such aims as cultural nationalism, political struggle, ethnic politics, cultural tourism, and other social, political, and economic aims. Authors surveyed may include Jafari Allen, Paul Austerlitz, Barbara Browning, Lydia Cabrera, Christopher Dunn, Néstor García-Canclini, Sydney Hutchinson, Alejandro Madrid, Robin Moore, Karen McCarthy-Brown, Ana María Ochoa, Fernando Ortíz, Anthony Seeger, Michel-Rolph Truillot, Thomas Turino, Hermano Vianna, Peter Wade, Christopher Washburne.

EL REGUETÓN: ANÁLISIS DEL LÉXICO DE LA MÚSICA DE LOS REGUETONEROS PUERTORRIQUEÑOS by ASHLEY ELIZABETH WOOD Under the Direction of Carmen Schlig ABSTRACT This paper examines some of the linguistic qualities of reggaeton in order to determine to which extent the music represents the speech of the urban residents of Puerto Rico. The lyrics are analyzed in order to see if they are used only within the context of reggaeton or if they are part of the Puerto Rican lexicon in general. The political context of Puerto Rico with respect to the United States is taken in to consideration with the formation of Anglicisms and the use of English. The paper summarizes the current knowledge of the Puerto Rican lexicon and highlights two linguistic studies that focus on reggaeton in addition to providing general background information about the genre.

  • Swahili-English Dictionary, the First New Lexical Work for English Speakers
    S W AHILI-E N GLISH DICTIONARY Charles W. Rechenbach Assisted by Angelica Wanjinu Gesuga Leslie R. Leinone Harold M. Onyango Josiah Florence G. Kuipers Bureau of Special Research in Modern Languages The Catholic University of Americ a Prei Washington. B. C. 20017 1967 INTRODUCTION The compilers of this Swahili-English dictionary, the first new lexical work for English speakers in many years, hope that they are offering to students and translators a more reliable and certainly a more up-to-date working tool than any previously available. They trust that it will prove to be of value to libraries, researchers, scholars, and governmental and commercial agencies alike, whose in- terests and concerns will benefit from a better understanding and closer communication with peoples of Africa. The Swahili language (Kisuiahili) is a Bantu language spoken by perhaps as many as forty mil- lion people throughout a large part of East and Central Africa. It is, however, a native or 'first' lan- guage only in a nnitp restricted area consisting of the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba and the oppo- site coast, roughly from Dar es Salaam to Mombasa, Outside this relatively small territory, elsewhere in Kenya, in Tanzania (formerly Tanganyika), Copyright © 1968 and to a lesser degree in Uganda, in the Republic of the Congo, and in other fringe regions hard to delimit, Swahili is a lingua franca of long standing, a 'second' (or 'third' or 'fourth') language enjoy- ing a reasonably well accepted status as a supra-tribal or supra-regional medium of communication.

Revista Transcultural de Música Transcultural Music Review #9 (2005) ISSN:1697-0101 “Somos Cubanos!“ – timba cubana and the construction of national identity in Cuban popular music Patrick Froelicher Abstract The complex processes that led to the emergence of salsa as an expression of a “Latin” identity for Spanish-speaking people in New York City constitute the background before which the Cuban timba discourse has to be seen. Timba, I argue, is the consequent continuation of the Cuban “anti-salsa-discourse” from the 1980s, which regarded salsa basically as a commercial label for Cuban music played by non-Cuban musicians. I interpret timba as an attempt by Cuban musicians to distinguish themselves from the international Salsa scene. This distinction is aspired by regular references to the contemporary changes in Cuban society after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Thus, the timba is a “child” of the socialist Cuban music landscape as well as a product of the rapidly changing Cuban society of the 1990s.
