  • Netflix to Film Garcia Marquez's
    MDM P18 friday | march 8, 2019 Netflix to film Garcia Marquez's NEW YORK, United States | AFP | -- Netflix said Wednesday it has acquired the film rights to "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez '100 Years of Solitude' and will turn it into a Spanish language TV series. Rodrigo Garcia and Gonzalo Garcia Barcha, the sons of the late Colombian author, "will serve as executive producers on the series, which will be filmed mainly in Colombia," the on-demand streaming giant said in a statement. "One Hundred Years of Solitude," considered a masterpiece that defined "magical realism" as a literary genre, was published in 1967. It centers around seven generations of the Buendia family in the fictional Colombian town of Macondo. "For decades our father was reluctant to sell the film rights" to the book "because he believed that it could not be made under the time constraints of a feature film, or that producing it in a language other than Spanish would not do it justice," said Garcia. But in the current "golden age" of TV series, with quality writing and directing "and the acceptance by worldwide audiences of programs in foreign languages, the time could not be better," he said. Garcia Marquez was a leading member of the "Latin American boom" of authors of the 1960s and 70s that included Nobel laureates Octavio Paz of Mexico and Mario Vargas Llosa of Peru. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" has been translated into 46 languages and sold some 50 million copies worldwide. Netflix has had success with shows and movies that are fully or partially in Spanish, such as the series "Narcos" and their Oscar- winning feature film "Roma." Garcia Marquez, whose work includes "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" (1981) and NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR.

  • Ang Novelty Song Sa Pilipinas*
    Ang Novelty Song Sa Pilipinas* New Era University Fame Pascua, M.A. Panimula ng musika ay isang sining na bahagi ng kultura ng bawat tao o grupo ng tao. Ito ay nasa anyo ng pagkanta ng mga himig at liriko at/o pagtugtog ng mga musikal na instrumento na lumilikha ng mga tunog at himig. Ayon kay Delia Gamboa Besa sa kanyang sanaysay na “Contemporary Philippine Music” (1998), ang musikaA sa Pilipinas ay sinasalamin ang mayamang kulturang nag-uugat pareho sa katutubong pinagmulan at sa impluwensya mula sa labas, at gayundin sa resulta ng pag-aangkop dito at Pascua... pagsasanib ng mga ito. Dahil dito, nauri ni Besa ang musika sa Pilipinas sa tatlo: (1) ang katutubo, (2) ang may impluwensyang1 Espansyol, at (3) ang may impluwensyang Amerikano. Mapapansin na ang ganitong pag-uuri ng musika sa Pilipinas ay sinusundan ang tipikal na kronolohiya ng kasaysayan ng Pilipinas bagama’t ang uri ng musika ay hindi lamang nakakulong sa partikular na peryodisasyon. Maari itong magpatuloy o hindi, mangibabaw pa o hindi na (bagamat umiiral pa rin) sa partikular na panahon. Gayunpaman, hindi kumpleto ang ganitong pag-uuri ng musika sa Pilipinas (kung tuluyang ibabatay sa kronolohiya ng kasaysayan ng Pilipinas) dahil sa walang banggit sa kung ano na o paano natin tatawagin ang musika ng mga Pilipino pagkatapos ng kolonyal na panahon? Bagamat nagbanggit ng “contemporary Philippine music” si Besa sa pamagat ng kanyang artikulo hindi naman ito nagliwanag sa kung “ano” ito o ang kumakatawan dito bagkus tumalakay sa sitwasyon ng “contemporary music”—na sa kabuuan, unti-unti nang napapamayanihan ng mga Filipino— gayunpaman ay nahaharap pa rin sa mga suliranin.
