Описание: Initially branching out of the European contradance tradition, the danzуn first emerged as a distinct form of music and dance among black performers in nineteenth-century Cuba. By the early twentieth-century, it had exploded in popularity throughout the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean basin. A
fundamentally hybrid music and dance complex, it reflects the fusion of European and African elements and had a strong influence on the development of later Latin dance traditions as well as early jazz in New Orleans. Danzуn: Circum-Caribbean Dialogues in Music and Dance studies the emergence,
hemisphere-wide influence, and historical and contemporary significance of this music and dance phenomenon.
Co-authors Alejandro L. Madrid and Robin D. Moore take an ethnomusicological, historical, and critical approach to the processes of appropriation of the danzуn in new contexts, its changing meanings over time, and its relationship to other musical forms. Delving into its long history of
controversial popularization, stylistic development, glorification, decay, and rebirth in a continuous transnational dialogue between Cuba and Mexico as well as New Orleans, the authors explore the production, consumption, and transformation of this Afro-diasporic performance complex in relation to
global and local ideological discourses. By focusing on interactions across this entire region as well as specific local scenes, Madrid and Moore underscore the extent of cultural movement and exchange within the Americas during the late nineteenth and early twentieth-centuries, and are thereby able
to analyze the danzуn, the dance scenes it has generated, and the various discourses of identification surrounding it as elements in broader regional processes. Danzуn is a significant addition to the literature on Latin American music, dance, and expressive culture; it is essential reading for
scholars, students, and fans of this music alike.

Описание: Acclaimed composer, sought-after conductor, esteemed educator, tireless advocate for the arts--Tania Le?n’s achievements encompass but also stretch far beyond contemporary classical music. Alejandro L. Madrid draws on oral history, archival work, and ethnography to offer the first in-depth biography of the artist. Breaking from a chronological account, Madrid looks at Le?n through the issues that have informed and defined moments in her life and her professional works. Le?n’s words become a starting ground--but also a counterpoint--to the accounts of the people in her orbit. What emerges is more than an extraordinary portrait of an artist's journey. It is a story of how a human being reacts to the challenges thrown at her by history itself, be it the Cuban revolution or the struggle for civil and individual rights.

Nuanced and multifaceted, Tania Le?n's Stride looks at the life, legacy, and milieu that created and sustained one of the most important figures in American classical music.
