Catatumbo resiste cincuenta y tres días de paro
"El Catatumbo -etimológicamente, \'la casa de los truenos\'- es una subregión transfronteriza ubicada entre Colombia y Venezuela. Ha sido célebre de manera venturosa gracias a la inmortalización, realizada por las crónicas de los tiempos coloniales, de un fenómeno natural maravilloso de tormentas eléctricas denominado ""el relámpago del Catatumbo"". Los barí lo definieron como ""la concentración de millones de cocuyos"" (luciérnagas). Fiel a la referencia heredada de este singular paisaje, la cual no solo se revela desde la majestuosidad de la naturaleza, sino que ha sabido, con generosidad, dejar su impronta en la mentalidad de sus pobladores a través de una larga historia de luchas populares, el paro que retumbó desde el Catatumbo entre el 11 de junio y el 4 de agosto del 2013 es, en un caleidoscopio de expresiones desde abajo en tiempos recientes en Colombia, una apuesta por constituir, persistir y resistir, en la que se izan las banderas de la vida digna, las voces nativas de los sujetos y las energías inagotables de las vías plebeyas."
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.
