They began their dizzy ride on the wave of global fascination with Cuban culture with the debut album A lo cubano (1999), in which they compromised with international market forces while attempting to maintain their cubanía, their own sense of Cubanness. This first release is remarkable for its commercial success not only abroad but also at home. While the music, lyrics, and videos associated with the album revel in cultural symbols only fully appreciated by Cubans who survived the worst years of the Special Period, they also commodify Afro-Cuban culture, making it palatable to a range of international listening publics.","PeriodicalId":41979,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC REVIEW-REVISTA DE MUSICA LATINOAMERICANA","volume":"33 1","pages":"102 - 123"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71339288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Influenced by structures, instrumentation and song forms from earlier Cuban genres, timba also incorporates elements from Cuban folkloric music, American jazz, and funk. During the call-and-response montuno sections of timba arrangements, repeating piano tumbaos balance cyclicity and narrativity (vamps or ostinati) cooperate with percussion, horns, and vocals to form interlocking grooves. Focusing on the piano's role within the timba rhythm section, I trace the development of pianistic gestural and textural vocabularies, exploring how the piano's ensemble role interrelates with those of bass, percussion, horns, and vocals, through a genre-based historicized lens.","PeriodicalId":41979,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC REVIEW-REVISTA DE MUSICA LATINOAMERICANA","volume":"102 1","pages":"1 - 26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71339177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, I analyze some of the lesser-known aspects of his life, those absent in most biographies, focusing on his dual status as a Jew and an exile, as well as his inclusion in the cultural field of Argentina in the early 1940s. I focus on the professional dynamics that Graetzer established with musicians from the distinct musical circuits of Berlin, Vienna, and Buenos Aires. The analysis ranges from his formative years as a musician in Europe until the creation of Collegium Musicum in 1946.","PeriodicalId":41979,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC REVIEW-REVISTA DE MUSICA LATINOAMERICANA","volume":"33 1","pages":"101 - 65"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2012-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71339265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This preoccupation resonates strongly with a broader concept of the overturning of time/space known throughout the Andes as pachakutik, a phenomenon that brings profound transformations. Normally the pachakutik is conceived of as a dramatic correction to a disequilibrium of order, time, and society, so perhaps what Ferrier describes corresponds more aptly to the erosion of the cosmological, ritual, social, and musical correlations within the festival prior to such a cosmic upheaval. Although the author of Navidad en los Andes remains confident in the ability of Andean peoples to adapt and integrate new elements and foreign influences into their culture, he also cautions against accelerated change that precludes a space for reflection and gradual transformation that allows a healthy degree of continuity with the past. I found Ferrier’s unpretentious narrative style refreshing, and his respect for the people and culture of Querco heartening. As a cultural anthropologist doing research on ritual traditions elsewhere in the Andes, I would have liked to read more about the symbolism of the costumes and for the author to share a more in depth interpretation of the festival masks. I was also quite curious about the power dynamics, politics, and symbolism of performances inside versus outside of the Church. These two points are small remarks, however, in light of the rich cultural and musical portrayal Ferrier offers.","PeriodicalId":41979,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC REVIEW-REVISTA DE MUSICA LATINOAMERICANA","volume":"32 1","pages":"299 - 302"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2012-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/LAT.2011.0023","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67067745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To explain this significant discovery it is necessary to understand the circumstances and the historical context of this southern state of Mexico. In 1853, during the period of Independent Mexico and in the midst of the confrontations between Church and State, a young Carlos María Colina was, to his surprise, nominated as the bishop to this remote and modest diocese of Chiapas. Colina must have known that in order to accomplish his appointment he needed to restore the importance of this church. It is with him that the manuscripts arrived. For a brief period, prior to Colina’s exile, the music chapel of San Cristóbal was part of a music tradition, which has yet much of its history to be disclosed.","PeriodicalId":41979,"journal":{"name":"LATIN AMERICAN MUSIC REVIEW-REVISTA DE MUSICA LATINOAMERICANA","volume":"32 1","pages":"240 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2012-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/LAT.2011.0026","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67067753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
