Before there was a Shakira... Before there was a Beyonce... There was a transformative female artist called.... SELENA Selena was an American singer, songwriter, spokesperson actress, fashion designer and now a Legend, Her 'Ka* | contributions to music and fashion made her one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of the late 20th jj century. Her music, style, fashion and influence is as current today as when she was alive - a true institution for the ages. L Jp Billboardmagazine’s "top Latin artist of the ’90s", the "best selling Latin artist of the decade" and still charting today as A the 2016 Top Latin Album of the Year, Female Artist - her v legacy lives in her smile, music and family. While alive, she was regarded by the media and fans as the "Tejano Madonna" for her cutting edge clothing choices and dance moves. Today she ranks among the most influential 4I0IM00D Latin artists of all-time and is credited for catapulting the Texas WALK OF FAME sound into the mainstream market. The youngest child of the Quintanilla family, she debuted in the music scene in 1980 as the lead of the family band "Selena y Los Dinos” with her siblings A.B. Quintanilla and Suzette Quintanilla. Not only did she make record breaking music - but she broke all enty barriers of a male- dominated music scene. Her popularity exploded after she won the Female Vocalist of the Year in the 1986 Tejano Music Awards - a feat she would repeat nine consecutive years. Selena began recording professionally in 1982 and in 1989 she signed with the newly formed Los Angeles record label EMI Latin and released her first of five record setting albums. On March 31, 1995, Selena was shot dead by Yolanda Saldivar - a tragic event that would make global headlines. Her posthumous crossover album, Dreaming of You (1995), debuted atop the Billboard 200, making Selena the first Latin artist to accomplish this feat. Aside from her significant contributions to music and culture, Selena was active across her community as she donated time and money to many local and national civic causes - a tradition that continues today through the work of The Selena Foundation. As such, in the mid 1980’s Coca-Cola appointed her its Hispanic ambassador and spokesperson. Her community engagement and impact of her loss was such, that two weeks after her death, George W. Bush- governor of Texas at the time—declared her birthday “Selena Day” in Texas. In 1997, Warner Bros, released Selena, a film about her life and career, starring the then Jennifer Lopez as Selena. As of 2015, Selena has sold over 70 million albums worldwide.

  • “Standardization of Cultural Products in Latin Pop-Music”
    “STANDARDIZATION OF CULTURAL PRODUCTS IN LATIN POP-MUSIC” RESEARCH PAPER PREPARED FOR THE 28TH ANNUAL ILASSA CONFERENCE ON LATIN AMERICA TO BE HELD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT AUSTIN FROM FEBRUARY 7TH THROUGH FEBRUARY 9TH ISRAEL ALONSO CHAVEZ LATIN AMERICAN AND CARIBBEAN CENTER FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY MIAMI, FLORIDA [email protected] 2008 Introduction 2 This work represents the initial stage of a project whose seed germinated thanks in part to what seems to be an ongoing debate between two different approaches to music in the sociological field. The first approach puts much of its emphasis on the functional dimension of music. That is, on the social functions it performs, enables and enhances; but also on its economic functionality. The subservience of music to economic ends does not imply a loss in terms of creativity for the representatives of this perspective. The second perspective does not deny that music fulfills certain economic and social functions. Yet, unlike the former, the latter warns against the atrophy of creativity that can be brought about by the models implented by “the culture industries”, to use Theodor W. Adorno’s concept. My concern here lies with the question of whether the claims made by this important member of the Frankfurt school about the products of “the culture industries” can be substantiated with empirical evidence. I want to investigate whether popular music (Latin pop music in this case) is indeed, as Adorno says, just another standardized product fashioned after the formulas of “the culture industries”. This work, however, forms part of a broader preoccupation with the issue of musical style, what causes it and what makes it change.

Contact: [email protected] CHAPTER Srx Improvisation in Latin Dance Music: History and Style PETER MANUEL Latin dance music constitutes one of the most dynamic and sophisticated urban popular music traditions in the Americas. Improvisation plays an important role in this set of genres, and its styles are sufficiently distinctive, complex, and internally significant as to merit book-length treatment along the lines of Paul Berliner's volume Thinking in Jazz (1994 ). To date, however, the subject of Latin improvisation has received only marginal and cursory analytical treat­ ment, primarily in recent pedagogical guidebooks and videos. 1 While a single chijpter such as this can hardly do justice to the subject, an attempt will be made here to sketch some aspects of the historical development of Latin im­ provisational styles, to outline the sorts of improvisation occurring in main­ stream contemporary Latin music, and to take a more focused look at improvi­ sational styles of one representative instrument, the piano. An ultimate and only partially realized goal in this study is to hypothesize a unified, coherent aesthetic of Latin improvisation in general.

  • The Influence of Latin Music in Postwar New York City Overview
    THE INFLUENCE OF LATIN MUSIC IN POSTWAR NEW YORK CITY OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How did the growth of New York City’s Latino population in the 1940s and 50s help to increase the popularity of Latin music and dance in American culture? OVERVIEW In the fall of 1957, the Broadway musical West Side Story opened at the Winter Garden Theatre in Manhattan. Featuring a musical score by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, its story centered on two rival teenage gangs -- the all-white Jets and the Puerto Rican Sharks -- facing off on the streets of New York City. The play’s showcase number, “America,” dramatized the disparities between life in rural Puerto Rico and the opportunities available to immigrants living in the United States. Bernstein’s orchestrations drew heavily on Latin-style percussion and dance rhythms -- sounds that had become prominent in New York over the course of the 1940s and 50s, as the city’s Latino population boomed. During and immediately following World War II, the United States experienced an historic wave of immigration from Latin America, including a record number of immigrants from the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico. In 1940, the U.S. census reported just under 70,000 Puerto Ricans living in the country; by 1950, that number had grown to over 226,000, with eighty-three percent of that population living in New York City. As alluded to in West Side Story, many Puerto Ricans, (who held natural born U.S. citizenship), arrived seeking jobs in factories and on ship docks -- industries with greater economic security than the agricultural work available in Puerto Rico.
