Rafael Cortijo’S Space Music: Sounds Of Caribbean Blackness, Marissel Hernandez-Romero
Rafael Cortijo’S Space Music: Sounds Of Caribbean Blackness, Marissel Hernandez-Romero
Third Stone
Black Puerto Rican musician Rafael Cortijo (1928-1982) is a key feature in Puerto Rican, Caribbean, and Latin American music. He is one of the few musicians celebrated internationally for his skills as a percussionist, orchestra leader, and composer. Despite this, his music is often described as as ‘noise’, or at least that was my memory growing up in a predominantly white community in Puerto Rico. This article proposes and theorizes the existence of a Hispanic Caribbean Space Music emerging at the same time of the Afrofuturist movement and to which Rafael Cortijo makes a great contribution. By doing this, I …
Analysis Of The Musical Style In The Theater, Christina Agiby Joseph
Analysis Of The Musical Style In The Theater, Christina Agiby Joseph
Journal of the Faculty of Arts (JFA)
Many of theater works are linked to music. This research studies this music-drama interrelation in the dramaturgy, focusing on music as an integral element of the plays. The significant value of music is to underline, expand, develop and evoke eras, environments and situations. Furthermore, musical motifs accompany the entrances and exits of the characters. We propose to analyze the importance of the musical element in the plays, focusing on the three musical missions: transporting the spectator to the past, accompanying certain moments in the plot or the dramatic situation and also its autonomous role wherein the music itself is the …

La Carranga Como Identidad Cultural Local Y Regional Del Departamento De Cundinamarca Y Boyacá– Colombia, Karen L. López
Honors Program Theses and Projects
“Somos hablares, historias copla, canto y poesías, eso es lo que les traemos, eso es la carranguerita, sinfónicamente hablando, un canto hermoso a la vida”. Estas son las palabras con las que inicia algunas de sus presentaciones en público Jorge Velosa, el hombre más influyente y reconocido de la música carranguera. Este ritmo musical es muy importante porque por medio de su letra expresa ideas, valores, y lazos de identidad únicos de la comunidad campesina. También, es un estilo de música colombiana que busca la sonrisa de la gente, muestra cómo convivir en paz con la naturaleza, y es la …
Afro-Brazilian Music And Culture, Regina Castro Mcgowan
Afro-Brazilian Music And Culture, Regina Castro Mcgowan
Open Educational Resources
In this course students will learn about the musical heritage Africans brought to Brazil and how through forced conversion and cultural adaptation, their traditions quickly syncretized into distinct Afro-Brazilian artistic expressions. This course will explore many musical traditions, including; Samba, Pagode, Baile Funk, Candomblé and Axé music for their social, religious and/or political significance, from the early twentieth century through today. In doing so, students will get to practice and learn the vocabulary and grammatical structures found in the music of these rich and varied genres, and acquire a familiarity with conversational Portuguese.

“Compadres De Los Suburbios”: Hip-Hop Counterculture In The Andean Sprawl Of El Alto, Matthew Harrison, Brian Pierce
“Compadres De Los Suburbios”: Hip-Hop Counterculture In The Andean Sprawl Of El Alto, Matthew Harrison, Brian Pierce
Journal of Undergraduate Research
For as long as we have recognized the existence of music, it has been inevitably and profoundly representative of our world’s many diverse cultures. By chance, just the other week I had the opportunity to chat with some family members about the origins of modern hip-hop music in the United States; it was fascinating to not only agree upon some wide-spread fundamental influences such as the classic rhythm and blues of Ray Charles and the boundary-pushing synth tunes of Kraftwerk, but also to recognize that while pulling from these influences, modern hip-hop has become something entirely of its own. The …
El Futuro Ya Está Aquí: A Comparative Analysis Of Punk In Spain And Mexico, Rex Richard Wilkins
El Futuro Ya Está Aquí: A Comparative Analysis Of Punk In Spain And Mexico, Rex Richard Wilkins
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis examines the punk genre's evolution into commercial mainstream music in Spain and Mexico. It looks at how this evolution altered both the aesthetic and gesture of the genre. This evolution can be seen by examining four bands that followed similar musical and commercial trajectories. In Spain, Kaka de Luxe and Radio Futura; in Mexico, Size and Ritmo Peligroso. Since punk music's gesture is both visceral and political, various methods of suppressing or containing the punk gesture arise. For both Spain and Mexico, containing the punk gesture was a matter of government censorship in the early years of punk. …

This paper reports the findings of a study that examined native English‐speaking learners’ comprehension of Spanish language music containing Caribbean dialectal features. Twenty‐one learners enrolled in 300‐ and 400‐level Spanish content courses at a large, Midwestern public university in the US participated in this study. Each participant completed the following five tasks: (1) listening task, (2) listening task difficulty questionnaire, (3) vocabulary familiarity task, (4) Spanish language proficiency test, and (5) background questionnaire. The listening task contained short clips of Spanish language music, several of which contained dialectal features present in Caribbean speech and music. The results revealed that comprehension …

The Symphony Of State: São Paulo's Department Of Culture, 1922-1938, Micah J. Oelze
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
In 1920s-30s São Paulo, Brazil, leaders of the vanguard artistic movement known as “modernism” began to argue that national identity came not from shared values or even cultural practices but rather by a shared way of thinking, which they variously designated as Brazil’s “racial psychology,” “folkloric unconscious,” and “national psychology.” Building on turn-of-the-century psychological and anthropological theories, the group diagnosed Brazil’s national mind as characterized by “primitivity” and in need of a program of psychological development. The group rose to political power in the 1930s, placing the artists in a position to undertake such a project. The Symphony of State …
La Representación De La Violencia En México Contemporáneo - The Representation Of Violence In Contemporary Mexico, Taylor Brackett
La Representación De La Violencia En México Contemporáneo - The Representation Of Violence In Contemporary Mexico, Taylor Brackett
Honors College
La violencia no es un problema nuevo para México. Incluso antes de que Hernán Cortés y sus hombres pusieron un pie en el país y redujeran el imperio azteca a cenizas, la violencia de la guerra y de sangrientos sacrificios de seres humanos jugaron un rol importante en la sociedad de la región. Desde entonces, el problema de violencia ha seguido creciendo aparentemente sin fin, convirtiéndose en un asunto muy discutido además de un tema examinado por muchos escritores, músicos, y directores mexicanos. En este trabajo, examino la representación de la violencia como tema en tres productos culturales: la literatura, …

First-Gen Voices: Creative and Critical Narratives on the First-Generation College Experience
This composition traces the history of Cuban-American cultural identity formation through the lens of music and dance. As the author explains, Cuban immigrants cultivated a rich music and dance culture in New York City by creating a series of Latin and Afro-Cuban music genres and dances that brought diverse groups of people together. As a Vietnamese-American woman, Tran sees several connections between her family’s Vietnamese heritage and the cultural histories of Cubans who came to the United States as refugees seeking asylum from political oppression. As a first-generation college student, Tran believes it is important to share this composition as …

From The Streets To The Screen: The Music Of Madrid In Saura's Deprisa, Deprisa, Linda M. Willem
From The Streets To The Screen: The Music Of Madrid In Saura's Deprisa, Deprisa, Linda M. Willem
Linda M. Willem
With a distinguished career as a director of over thirty-five feature films, Carlos Saura has been a prominent figure within the international film community for nearly fifty years. One of his most critically-acclaimed works, Deprisa, deprisa [Hurry, Hurry], is a documentary-like portrayal of a group of friends - Pablo, Angela, Meca, and Sebas - engaged in ever-escalating acts of crime and violence in Madrid in the early 1980's. This is Saura's second film to deal with the topic of alienated urban youth. In 1959 his very first feature film, Los golfos [The Hooligans], focused on a young gang of thieves …
