Canto Electroacústico: Aves latinoamericanas en una creación colaborativa
Cada libro es una caja de sorpresas que los lectores disfrutan a medida que pasan las páginas. Este volumen concentra su fuerza y su potencia creativa, como bien lo anota Michael Duncan en la presentación, en el desempeño de la música electroacústica en América Latina. “Un género musical sustentado en herramientas tecnológicas, surgidas en el entorno de las Tecnologías de la Información y de la Comunicación (TIC)’’. He aquí un ejemplo paradigmático de las posibilidades que ofrece la tecnología cuando interactúa con la investigación científica y la creación artística. También muestra lo que pueden lograr los creadores cuando trabajan en un entorno de colaboración y estímulo.
Music, Race, and Nation
Long a favorite on dance floors in Latin America, the porro, cumbia, and vallenato styles that make up Colombia's música tropical are now enjoying international success. How did this music—which has its roots in a black, marginal region of the country—manage, from the 1940s onward, to become so popular in a nation that had prided itself on its white heritage? Peter Wade explores the history of música tropical, analyzing its rise in the context of the development of the broadcast media, rapid urbanization, and regional struggles for power. Using archival sources and oral histories, Wade shows how big band renditions of cumbia and porro in the 1940s and 1950s suggested both old traditions and new liberties, especially for women, speaking to a deeply rooted image of black music as sensuous. Recently, nostalgic, "whitened" versions of música tropical have gained popularity as part of government-sponsored multiculturalism. Wade's fresh look at the way music transforms and is transformed by ideologies of race, nation, sexuality, tradition, and modernity is the first book-length study of Colombian popular music.
Spanish in the United States
This collection of original papers presents current research on linguistic aspects of the Spanish used in the United States. The authors examine such topics as language maintenance and language shift, language choice, the bilingual's discourse patterns, varieties of Spanish used in the United States, and oral proficiency testing of bilingual speakers. In view of the fact that Hispanics constitute the largest linguistic minority in the United States, the pioneering work in the area of sociolinguistic issues in the U.S. Spanish presented here is of great importance.
