Downtown NYC of the mid-1970s and early 80s was the perfect landscape for reinvention. If the Lost Generation writers telegraphed the death of the American dream, the No Wave era, led by artists including Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, Nan Goldin, Sonic Youth and the Contortions, challenged that dream by howling "NO" while creating a counterculture that brought punk, rock, jazz, funk, the art world, hip hop, and outlaw literature together into an international explosion of creativity. Why was this scene so compelling, and remains so today? What set this confluence of time, place, and people apart from the rest? The answer, in a word: women. Women, resisting stereotypes. Reinventing themselves according to their individual artistic visions. Adele Bertei was a pivotal figure in the No Wave movement. She was an original member of the Contortions and Brian Enos fascination with the band resulted in the seminal No New York record, released in 1978. NO NEW YORK: A Memoir of No Wave and the Women Who Shaped the Scene will provide an uncompromising testimony to the first significant, international movement of women artists creating work on an equal footing with the men, the fruits of which were some of the most striking and unique of this era.

Un recorrido apasionado y entretenido por los grandes musicales de nuestra era en el que descubriremos lo que realmente nos cuentan sobre raza, género, poder y deseo.¿Qué tienen en común Wicked, Cats o West Side Story? Que no solo nos han hecho cantar, sino tambien repensar el mundo (aunque no nos hayamos dado cuenta).Cantar la historia es una historia cultural muy poco convencional: una que se canta, se baila y se analiza con tanta pasion como ironia acida. A traves de nueve musicales que han marcado la historia reciente, Javi Alonso, brillante divulgador y amante del teatro musical, nos invita a un viaje en el que nos mostrara como estas obras reflejan temas como las masculinidades, el racismo, lo queer o la memoria historica. Desde la violencia mal dirigida de West Side Story hasta la catastrofe digital de la pelicula de Cats, pasando por la moral de las protagonistas de Wicked, el autor mezcla analisis cultural, anecdotas personales y un afilado humor para desmontar la idea de que los musicales son solo evasion y fantasia.El resultado es un ensayo pop que reivindica el teatro musical como uno de los grandes narradores de nuestro tiempo. Porque si, a veces la historia se canta, hasta ocho veces por semana en cada teatro.

Its 1977, and punk rock has just hit Liverpool. The legendary Erics club is home to the citys rebels, posers and misfits. Its a place of attitude, adventure and new possibilities, and it changes lives. Some become pop stars; Penny Kiley becomes a music journalist. The story traces Pennys relationship with the music scene from the turbulent political 1980s into the changing culture of the 21st century. Throughout these years, she never stops being a misfit, and the question remains: how do you navigate normal life when punk is dead and you dont know youre autistic? Atypical Girl begins as a coming-of-age story and ends as a midlife reinvention. What unites them is a search for identity and the role that music plays in all our lives.

El Barroquista cierra su trilogía cultural Otra historia con la esperadaOTRA HISTORIA DE LA MÚSICA.¿Qué es la música?¿Por qué calma a los bebés?¿Cómo puede un solo acorde sacudir nuestras emociones, o un ritmo hacernos bailar de manera espontanea?¿Por que, a pesar de su omnipresencia, la musica es considerada muchas veces un "arte menor"?La musica esta en todas partes: en las conversaciones cotidianas, en el ruido de la ciudad, en el bullicio de las calles y en los momentos de descanso. Es el lenguaje que nos conecta sin necesidad de palabras, nos emociona, nos moviliza y nos transforma. Desde los cantos de los esclavos africanos hasta la revolucion del K-pop, pasando por la transgresion de Rosalia y la pureza matematica de Bach, la musica ha sido el motor de historias, celebraciones y tragedias.Como en sus anteriores obras, Miguel Angel Cajigal (El Barroquista) desmonta en este libro los prejuicios establecidos para desvelar los importantes roles sociales y culturales que la musica ha jugado a lo largo de los siglos, mostrando su capacidad para trascender fronteras y cambiar la manera en que experimentamos el mundo.Este tercer volumen de la trilogia cultural Otra historia invita a reflexionar sobre la musica como un lenguaje universal que conecta lo humano en su mas amplio sentido: emociones, identidad y cultura. A traves de una narracion fresca y accesible, Cajigal nos ofrece una nueva perspectiva sobre como la musica ha sido mas que un simple acompañante y se ha convertido en un protagonista esencial en el relato de nuestra historia.

Every generation has its brilliant virtuosi players who, by common consent, stand that little bit apart from their contemporaries. And just occasionally another, greater, phenomenon appears: an artist so very special that he creates an entirely new horizon for his art, an entirely new approach to his instrument. Such an artist was Pablo Casals.There is no musician today who has not, in some way, been touched by Casals. His innovations sparked a revolution and changed for ever the accepted limitations of playing the cello; his teachings stand as a beacon, proud and resolute, for all others to follow.In the wider world, his courageous stand against the fascists who had overrun his beloved Catalonia earned him the respect and attention of the worlds most renowned leaders, from the President of the United States to the Secretary General of the United Nations.Here, then, is a portrait of Pablo Casals in his own words and the words of others. Its all here: his love of humanity, his wisdom, his idealism, his courage, his obstinacy, the inspiration he sparked and above all shining through the pages like a rare and precious jewel the overwhelming, triumphant and towering genius.
