  • Popular, Elite and Mass Culture? the Spanish Zarzuela in Buenos Aires, 1890-1900
    Popular, Elite and Mass Culture? The Spanish Zarzuela in Buenos Aires, 1890-1900 Kristen McCleary University of California, Los Angeles ecent works by historians of Latin American popular culture have focused on attempts by the elite classes to control, educate, or sophisticate the popular classes by defining their leisure time activities. Many of these studies take an "event-driven" approach to studying culture and tend to focus on public celebrations and rituals, such as festivals and parades, sporting events, and even funerals. A second trend has been for scholars to mine the rich cache of urban regulations during both the colonial and national eras in an attempt to mea- sure elite attitudes towards popular class activities. For example, Juan Pedro Viqueira Alban in Propriety and Permissiveness in Bourbon Mexico eloquently shows how the rules enacted from above tell more about the attitudes and beliefs of the elites than they do about those they would attempt to regulate. A third approach has been to examine the construction of national identity. Here scholarship explores the evolution of cultural practices, like the tango and samba, that developed in the popular sectors of society and eventually became co-opted and "sanitized" by the elites, who then claimed these activities as symbols of national identity.' The defining characteristic of recent popular culture studies is that they focus on popular culture as arising in opposition to elite culture and do not consider areas where elite and popular culture overlap. This approach is clearly relevant to his- torical studies that focus on those Latin American countries where a small group of elites rule over large predominantly rural and indigenous populations.

  • Gabriela Granados
    Gabriela Granados (flamenco dancer/choreographer) began extensively training at the age of four in her native Perú, studying a wide range of classical and regional Spanish dances, Flamenco, Classical Ballet, Character dance and Latin American folklore. In 1980, she moved to New York where she continued her dance studies and performing career. She traveled to Spain in 1985 and made her debut at the Tablao Flamenco Los Canasteros in Madrid. Ms. Granados also studied in Seville and performed in Madrid’s renowned tablaos flamencos Las Brujas and Zambra, where she had the opportunity to work alongside Spain’s top flamenco professionals. After returning to the U.S., she became a member of the flamenco companies of Maria Benítez, Andrea del Conte and Carlota Santana. In 1996, Ms. Granados founded American Bolero Dance Company, with a mission to present other aspects of Spanish music and dance, besides Flamenco. Her company received a Heritage and Preservation grant from the NEA in 2002 and, since 2009, yearly consecutive grants from NYSCA and NYC-DCA through the Queens Council on the Arts. Her work for ABDC encompasses classical and folkloric Spanish dances, 18th Century Bolero, Zarzuela and Flamenco. In 2002, Ms. Granados established her company- affiliated Spanish Dance School, dedicated exclusively to the preservation of all these dance styles. As artistic director, dancer and choreographer of ABDC, Ms. Granados has successfully presented her productions in New York City, the Mid-Atlantic States and Europe. She created and produced “Olé! Olé!” in 1998 at Intar Theater, “Olé! Olé! Fin de Siglo” in 1999 at The Kaye Playhouse, “Spanish Gems” in 2005 at Flushing Town Hall, and “Tablao Flamenco” in 2008, which run in Astoria, Queens, through 2013 for its sixth season.

  • Crying Across the Ocean: Considering the Origins of Farruca in Argentina Julie Galle Baggenstoss March 22, 2014 the Flamenco
    Crying Across the Ocean: Considering the Origins of Farruca in Argentina Julie Galle Baggenstoss March 22, 2014 The flamenco song form farruca is popularly said to be of Celtic origin, with links to cultural traditions in the northern Spanish regions of Galicia and Asturias. However, a closer look at the song’s traits and its development points to another region of origin: Argentina. The theory is supported by an analysis of the song and its interpreters, as well as Spanish society at the time that the song was invented. Various authors agree that the song’s traditional lyrics, shown in Table 1, exhibit the most obvious evidence of the song’s Celtic origin. While the author of the lyrics is not known, the word choice gives some clues about the person who wrote them. The lyrics include the words farruco and a farruca, commonly used outside of Galicia to refer to a person who is from that region of Spain. The use of the word farruco/a indicates that the author was not in Galicia at the time the song was written. Letra tradicional de farruca Una Farruca en Galicia amargamente lloraba porque a la farruca se le había muerto el Farruco que la gaita le tocaba Table 1: Farruca song lyrics Sources say the poetry likely expresses nostalgia for Galicia more than the perspective of a person in Galicia (Ortiz). A large wave of Spanish immigrants settled in what is now called the Southern Cone of South America, including Argentina and Uruguay, during the late 19th century, when the flamenco song farruca was first documented as a sung form of flamenco.

Bear Hug/Abrazo de oso! is a bilingual (in two different languages) youth opera and the cast sings in both English and Spanish. It is set in a zoo. The Zookeeper enters the stage while feeding some of his favorite animals including Marla, the koala bear, and Polly the panda bear. He admits that while he loves his job as zookeeper, he’s nervous about the grizzly exhibit next door. Grizzly bears are known to eat meat and he feels less than confident. Polly the panda greets the audience and mentions her love of reading and learning. She hears singing next to her exhibit and meets Bernardo, a very special Spanish brown bear and newest exhibit to the zoo. In fact, the entire zoo is decorated to welcome the newest bear! Bernardo, who has just arrived to the zoo and doesn’t speak much English, is nervous and feels lost. He misses his family. Polly distracts him from his loneliness by playing games like charades, trying to understand her new friend. They come across a locked gate. Polly has always wondered what was on the other side of the zoo and her adventur - ous personality starts the bears on a search for the key and out of their exhibit. The two meet Marla, the zoo’s koala bear. Koalas are actually marsupials—that means Marla isn’t really a bear at all! Koala bears are generally sleepy and like to eat plants such as eucalyptus.

    REVISTA DE INVESTIGACIÓN SOBRE FLAMENCO La madrugá Nº15, Diciembre 2018, ISSN 1989-6042 Cartagena y el pasodoble Benito Martínez del Baño Universidad Complutense de Madrid Enviado: 13-12-2018 Aceptado: 20-12-2018 Resumen El pasodoble es un tipo de composición musical menor con títulos de excepción, páginas musicales de gran factura melódica, fuerza expresiva y estructura perfecta. Muchas de sus composiciones han logrado inmortalizar el nombre de sus autores y el insuperable atractivo de dotar emoción nuestras fiestas, patronales y bravas. Podemos incluirlo como subgénero dentro de la composición zarzuelística, y encontrarlo de muy distintas maneras, como en tiempo de marchas aceleradas, alegres y bulliciosas pasadas del coro por la escena, breves y brillantes introducciones orquestales, también para bandas de música, y finales de cuadro o de acto, incluso con tintes flamencos. Asimismo títulos imprescindibles han sido compuestos en Cartagena y algunas de las más ilustres voces de esta tierra lo han cantado y otras aun lo incluyen en su repertorio. Palabras clave: pasodoble, Cartagena, flamenco, música popular. Abstract The pasodoble is a type of minor musical composition with exceptional titles, musical pages of great melodic design, expressive force and perfect structure. Many of his compositions have managed to immortalize the name of their authors and the insurmountable attraction of giving emotion to our festivities, patronal and brave. We can include it as a subgenre within the zarzuela composition, and find it in very different ways, such as in time of accelerated marches, happy and boisterous past of the choir for the scene, brief and brilliant orchestral introductions, also for bands, and end of picture or act, even with flamenco overtones.

  • Spain in the Enlightenment C
    Spain in the Enlightenment C. H. RUSSELL With the coming to power in Spain of the French Bourbon family at the beginning of the eighteenth century, the doors to Spanish society and culture ‐ long closed to many developments of Spain's European neighbours ‐ were flung open to admit a torrent of new ideas, philosophies and cultural trends. Philip V, the grandson of Louis XIV, introduced the Spanish court to the latest rage in France – the contredanse, the danse á bal and the danse á deux. All members of high society were expected to be familiar with the latest dances and their steps. French fashions, hairstyles and courtly manners found their way into Spanish life. French neo‐classical thought set in motion a series of reforms in the Spanish theatre and in literature. Italian operatic and virtuoso instrumental styles rapidly inundated the Iberian peninsula. The passion for opera shared by Philip V and his son Ferdinand VI not only helped to shape tastes in the Spanish musical theatre hut also left its indelible mark on sacred music. The inclusion of Italian theatrical styles in sacred compositions provoked a score of polemics. In fact, the issue of morality as it related to all of these foreign influences was hotly debated. These foreign intrusions met with stubborn resistance in some Spanish circles, especially among the middle class which flourished under the new economic policies of Charles III. New organizations and forms of public diversion arose. Nationalism ‐ initially generated largely by middleclass concerns ‐ permeated the entire fabric of Spanish society as the century progressed.1 THE CHURCH A social history of music must first concern itself with patrons.
