Book Synopsis Transatlantic Malagueñas and Zapateados in Music, Song and Dance by : Walter Aaron Clark
Download or read book Transatlantic Malagueñas and Zapateados in Music, Song and Dance written by Walter Aaron Clark and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-06-20 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transatlantic Malagueñas and Zapateados is an exploration of two fandango dances, recording the circulations of people, imagery, music, and dance across what were once the Spanish and Portuguese Empires. Although these dance-musics seem to be mirror images, the unbreachable space between them reflects the political fault-lines along which nineteenth-century musical populism and folkloric nationalism extend into present-day debates about globalization, immigration, neoliberalism, and neofascism. If malagueñas are a fantastic incarnation of Spanishness, caught like a fly in amber by their anachronistic references to a fraught imperial past, noisy and raucous zapateado dances cut toward the future. Inherently marked by European conventions of zapatos (shoes), zapateados are nonetheless shaped by Africanist and Native American footwork traditions. In these Afro-Indigenous mestizajes, not only are European aesthetic values reordered and resignified, but the Catholic catechism which indoctrinated the New World yields to alternate spiritual systems springing out of a culture of resistance to European domination.
Book Synopsis The Global Reach of the Fandango in Music, Song and Dance by : K. Meira Goldberg
Download or read book The Global Reach of the Fandango in Music, Song and Dance written by K. Meira Goldberg and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 735 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fandango, emerging in the early-eighteenth century Black Atlantic as a dance and music craze across Spain and the Americas, came to comprise genres as diverse as Mexican son jarocho, the salon and concert fandangos of Mozart and Scarlatti, and the Andalusian fandangos central to flamenco. From the celebrations of humble folk to the theaters of the European elite, with boisterous castanets, strumming strings, flirtatious sensuality, and dexterous footwork, the fandango became a conduit for the syncretism of music, dance, and people of diverse Spanish, Afro-Latin, Gitano, and even Amerindian origins. Once a symbol of Spanish Empire, it came to signify freedom of movement and of expression, given powerful new voice in the twenty-first century by Mexican immigrant communities. What is the full array of the fandango? The superb essays gathered in this collection lay the foundational stone for further exploration.
Download or read book Flamenco Music written by Peter Manuel and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expert explains and analyzes the beloved art form An iconic symbol of Spain, flamenco has become a global phenomenon. Peter Manuel offers English-language readers a rare portrait of the music’s history, styles, and cultural impact. Beginning with flamenco’s Moorish and Roma influences, Manuel follows the music’s evolution through its consolidation in the mid-1800s and on to the vibrant contemporary scene. An investigation of flamenco’s major song-types looks at rhythm and compás, guitar technique, and many other aspects of the music while Manuel’s description and analysis of the repertoire range from soleares and bulerías to tangos. His overview of contemporary flamenco culture provides insight into issues that surround the music, including globalization, gender dynamics, notions of ownership, and the ongoing debates on purity versus innovation and the relative roles played by Gitanos and non-Gitanos. Multifaceted and entertaining, Flamenco Music is an in-depth study of the indelible art form that inspires enthusiasts and practitioners around the world.
Book Synopsis Sonidos Negros by : K. Meira Goldberg
Download or read book Sonidos Negros written by K. Meira Goldberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-11-29 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is the politics of Blackness figured in the flamenco dancing body? What does flamenco dance tell us about the construction of race in the Atlantic world? Sonidos Negros traces how, in the span between 1492 and 1933, the vanquished Moor became Black, and how this figure, enacted in terms of a minstrelized Gitano, paradoxically came to represent Spain itself. The imagined Gypsy about which flamenco imagery turns dances on a knife's edge delineating Christian and non-Christian, White and Black worlds. This figure's subversive teetering undermines Spain's symbolic linkage of religion with race, a prime weapon of conquest. Flamenco's Sonidos Negros live in this precarious balance, amid the purposeful confusion and ruckus cloaking embodied resistance, the lament for what has been lost, and the values and aspirations of those rendered imperceptible by enslavement and colonization.
Book Synopsis Popular Music in Spanish Cinema by : Lidia López Gómez
Download or read book Popular Music in Spanish Cinema written by Lidia López Gómez and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-25 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular Music in Spanish Cinema analyses the aesthetics and stylistic development of soundtracks from national productions, considering how political instability and cultural diversity in Spain determined the ways of making art and managing culture. As a pioneering study in this field, the chronologically structured approach of this book provides readers with a complete overview of Spanish music and connects it to the complex historical events that conditioned Spanish culture throughout the 20th century to the present day, from the Second Republic, the Spanish Civil war, and the dictatorship through to democracy. The book enables an understanding of the relationships between the recording and film production industries, the construction of collective imagination, the formulation of new stereotypes, semiotic meanings within film music and the musical exchanges between national and international cinema. This volume is an essential read for students and academics in the field of musicology, ethnomusicology and history as well as those interested in the study of diverse musical styles such as copla, zarzuela, flamenco, jazz, foxtrot, pop and rock and how they have been used in Spanish films throughout history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of new essays explores the many ways in which writing relates to corporeality and how the two work together to create, resist or mark the body of the "Other."

The challenges faced by marginalized bodies are discussed, along with the ability of a body to question, contest and re-write historical narratives.
Book Synopsis Celebrating Flamenco's Tangled Roots by : K. Meira Goldberg
Download or read book Celebrating Flamenco's Tangled Roots written by K. Meira Goldberg and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays poses a series of questions revolving around nonsense, cacophony, queerness, race, and the dancing body. How can flamenco, as a diasporic complex of performance and communities of practice frictionally and critically bound to the complexities of Spanish history, illuminate theories of race and identity in performance? How can we posit, and argue for, genealogical relationships within and between genres across the vast expanses of the African—and Roma—diaspora? Neither are the essays presented here limited to flamenco, nor, consequently, are the responses to these questions reduced to this topic. What all the contributions here do share is the wish to come together, across disciplines and subject areas, within the academy and without, in the whirling, raucous, and messy spaces where the body is free—to celebrate its questioning, as well as the depths of the wisdom and knowledge it holds and sometimes reveals.

Book Synopsis Chorgesang als Medium von Interkulturalität by : Erik Fischer
Download or read book Chorgesang als Medium von Interkulturalität written by Erik Fischer and published by Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GmbH. This book was released on 2007 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In welchen jeweils zeit- und regionalspezifischen Formen, durch welche kulturellen Techniken und Kanale und mittels welcher Diskurse hat sich das im 19. Jahrhundert aufkommende Massenphanomen des deutschen Chorgesangs im ostmitteleuropaischen Raum herausgebildet? Diesen Fragen widmen sich 29 Beitrage, die aus der Projekt-Arbeit des Jahres 2006 hervorgegangen sind, auf sehr unterschiedliche Weise. Aus den variierenden Perspektiven einzelner Nationen heraus erschliessen sie 'Chorgesang' als vielschichtigen zeichenhaften Bedeutungstrager, der uber die Mentalitat jeweiliger Zeit-Raume ebenso Auskunft zu geben vermag wie uber die komplizierte, oft ideologisch geleitete Entwicklung von Fremd- und Selbstbildern oder uber die Konkurrenz zwischen mehreren, sich aneinander ausdifferenzierenden Identitatskonzepten.
