Previous outreach activities of the Institute of Latin American Studies served to introduce the classroom teacher to Latin America as an important area of study. During the years 1975-1977, the institute, through the financial sponsorship of the National Endowment for the Humanities, brought teachers to Austin to participate in workshops and conferences covering broad areas of Latin American culture studies. Working with University of Texas faculty and staff members, they created the resource handbook Latin American Culture Studies: Information and Materials for Teaching about Latin America, edited by Edward Giab, Jr. Among the most popular units of that guide are those concerned with the rich traditions of Latin American art and music, and many expressed a desire to work further in these areas. During 1979-1980, the institute, working closely with the Departments of Music, Art, and Art History of the University of Texas, offered the Latin American Musical Heritage Conference (Febniary 1980), the Latin American Visual Arts Conference (April 1980), and a three-week summer institute in which teachers designed practice! lesson units on the themes of Latin American art and music. Generous sponsorship by the National Endowment for the Humanities enabled the institute's outreach staff to subsidize the participation of teachers fium all areas of Texas and to bring the foremost experts in the fields to Austin to present an integrated overview of the development of traditional and contemporary art and music scenes of Latin America. During the Musical Heritage Conference participants became acquainted with the classical and popular musical traditions of Brazil, Argentina, the Andes, Mexico, the Caribbean, and the American Southwest. They were treated to dancing lessons, a chance to play the Andean flutes, live performances of medieval Spanish court music, and spectacular mariachi renditions of Mexican folk dances, as well as a presentation of romantic Mexican art songs seldom performed anymore. In the Latin American Visual Arts Conference, specialists from the University of Texas' Austin and San Antonio campuses and other universities and museums introduced participants to the major indigenous, colonial, and modern elements of Latin American painting, sculpture, ritual objects, mural art, utilitarian items, and weaving and tapestries. The hstitute was especially honored to bring Mrs. Barbara Duncan, patron of the superb Duncan Collection of Contemporary Latin American Art of the University of Texas at Austin, to share her most recent research with participants and presenters. In the summer following the conferences, curriculum specialists and teachers spent three weeks together working on the practical classroom materials that form the body of this work. They continued the tradition of networking established in earlier outreach projects, sharing ideas and expertise in order to introduce to their students fresh ways of viewing the culture and ways of this important area of the world. This work touches on some of the points covered in G lab's Wormation and Materials for

MANUELA FERNÁNDEZ MAYO UNIVERSIDAD DE CÁDIZ RESUMEN Argentina ha visto surgir una serie de manifestaciones artísticas y culturales unidas al con- texto de la crisis, de las cuales destacamos en el panorama musical, la aparición y desarrollo de la cumbia villera, un subgénero musical que alberga la identidad del nuevo pobre urbano argen- tino, una música que se ha impuesto dentro del panorama de la música tropical como una rei- vindicación del estilo de vida de los habitantes de las villas miserias. Implica un discurso que manifiesta la discriminación, en tanto marginalidad y exclusión social a la vez. Por su parte, el teatro barrial ha aglutinado a los sectores sociales medios y su singularidad reside en que aquí los artistas, son los propios vecinos. El teatro comunitario parte de la idea de que el arte es un agente de transformación social y responde a un intento de recuperar la identidad cultural del país empezando por el barrio y el entorno, pero también se erige como un acto de resistencia cultu- ral frente a un mundo globalizado, que tiende a borrar las diferencias culturales. Palabras Clave: Argentina, crisis, cumbia villera, teatro barrial o comunitario. ABSTRACT Argentinian culture has been a witness – together with the economic crisis- of a group of artistic and cultural signs from which we, in the musical context- emphasize the beginning and development of the “cumbia villera”, a musical subgenre which shows the identity of the new urban poor man in Argentina, a kind of music that has prevailed within the tropical one as a claim to life style of inhabitants from poor villages, It refers to both, a marginal and social discrimina- tion.

Other art from this period includes an anony­ mous engraving from 1610 depicting Sir Francis Drake on the Rfo de la Plata and a 1628 painting by the Dutch artist Johannes Vingboons of the second incarnation of Buenos Aires. By including key landmarks in the profile of the new Buenos Aires, Vingboons's painting provides a chronological marker for change along the South American coast. Images of trade ships in the port of Buenos Aires are rarely seen, because for nearly two hundred years much of Spain's transatlantic trade was controlled by northern ports. Some black market trade did continue, and local shipping was allowed, but the ports in Peru and Panama captured the majority of the shipping until 1778. Images of Argentina's maritime history came from other sources.

It takes 400 cocoa beans to make one pound of chocolate. 3. Each cacao tree produces approximately 2,500 beans. 4. Cacao beans were so valuable to early Mesoamericans that they were used as currency. 5. “Cacao” is how you say “cocoa” in Spanish. 6. A farmer must wait four to five years for a cacao tree to produce its first beans. 7. Spanish royalty gave cakes of cacao in their dowries. 8. Theobroma Cacaois the tree that produces cocoa beans, and it means “food of the gods.” Carolus Linnaeus, the father of plant taxonomy, named it. 9. Chocolate has over 600 flavour compounds while red wine has just 200. 10. Chocolate milk is an effective post work-out recovery drink FOOD 20 Things You Never Knew About Chocolate BY KATE ERBLAND OCTOBER 28, 2018 1. THERE ARE MULTIPLE CELEBRATIONS OF CHOCOLATE EACH YEAR. Holiday makers are constantly on the hunt for a reason to munch on chocolate, so the calendar offers plenty of excuses to buy a bar. July 7 is also Chocolate Day, a nod to the historical tradition that the day marks when chocolate was first brought to Europe on July 7, 1550, though a number of sources argue that it might have hit the continent’s shores as far back as 1504, thanks to Christopher Columbus. Official day or not, we do know that chocolate first arrived in Europe some time in the 16th century.

  • Historical Background
    Historical Background Lesson 3 The Historical Influences… How They Arrived in Argentina and Where the Dances’ Popularity is Concentrated Today The Chacarera History: WHAT INFLUENCES MADE THE CHACARERA WHAT IT IS TODAY? HOW DID THESE INFLUENCES MAKE THEIR WAY INTO ARGENTINA? The Chacarera was influenced by the pantomime dances (the Gallarda, the Canario, and the Zarabanda) that were performed in the theaters of Europe (Spain and France) in the 1500s and 1600s. Later, through the Spanish colonization of the Americas, the Chacarera spread from Peru into Argentina during the 1800s (19th century). As a result, the Chacarera was also influenced by the local Indian culture (indigenous people) of the area. Today, it is enjoyed by all social classes, in both rural and urban areas. It has spread throughout the entire country except in the region of Patagonia. Popularity is concentrated in which provinces? It is especially popular in Santiago del Estero, Tucuman, Salta, Jujuy, Catamarca, La Rioja and Cordoba. These provinces are located in the Northwest, Cuyo, and Pampas regions of Argentina. There are many variations of the dance that are influenced by each of the provinces (examples: The Santiaguena, The Tucumana, The Cordobesa) *variations do not change the essence of the dance The Gato History: WHAT INFLUENCES MADE THE GATO WHAT IT IS TODAY? HOW DID THESE INFLUENCES MAKE THEIR WAY INTO ARGENTINA? The Gato was danced in many Central and South American countries including Mexico, Peru, Chile, Uruguay, and Paraguay, however, it gained tremendous popularity in Argentina. The Gato has a very similar historical background as the other playfully mischievous dances (very similar to the Chacarera).

  • Askaneli Wines
    ASKANELI't; BROTHERS 1880 From the very beginning, we decided to not spare money or efforts on using the most current technologies and inviting the best industry professionals with international work ex- perience. It is extremely important for me to be involved in the creation of the modern history of Georgian winemaking. Our country prides with its huge range of endemic grapes, many of which have been lost or simply forgotten. Revival of ancient varieties has become one of the important components for our development and we are continuously working a lot in this direction. We cherish traditions, but don’t fear experimenting, searching for new tastes and imple- menting new technologies. Thanks to this approach, we have created new wines from smaller vineyards that have unique terroir. Contributing to the global winemaking, yet step by step we create our signature style. We want our wines to be exceptional and recognizable, to have individuality and certainly the Georgian spirit. Constant development and quality growth has remained the cornerstone over the 20 years Gocha Chkhaidze of existence for Askaneli Brothers company. President of Askaneli Brothers Askaneli Brothers started in the village Askana in the region of Guria west Georgia near the Black Sea. It is interestingly to note, that even the name of the village is related to the activities of Askaneli since the son of Aeneas descendant of Dionysus was called Ascanius. Legend would have been just a good story if not for the great grandfather of the Askaneli’s, Anthimoz Chkhaidze. There in the winery vault built by him lays a pitcher dated 1880.
