El fenómeno de la música salsa en Cali ha sido objeto de controversias, hitos y mitos, que paradójicamente han venido enriqueciendo esta importante tendencia musical que llegó a la ciudad en los barcos, y se quedo para siempre. Justamente, Cali: Salsa Forever despeja esta discusion en el barrio.Partiendo de la pregunta: ¿Por que nuestra ciudad adopto la musica del Caribe que se desarrollo con mayor ahinco en Nueva York?, Rafael Quintero hace un viaje por la musica del Caribe en Cali, desde los años cuarenta hasta los años setenta, y revela aquella tesis que alguna vez dijera el escritor cubano Alejo Carpentier en el sentido de que un pais no se define por sus fronteras geopoliticas sino por sus regiones geoculturales.El libro de Quintero es una deliciosa cronica, facil de leer, que se sustenta en referencias historicas y de sus protagonistas. Es un ajuste de cuentas con aquellos que creen que la salsa llego a Cali y se quedo para siempre.Cali: Salsa Forever es un libro necesario que hacia falta para ponerle punto final a tanta hipocresia y tanta vanidad, como diria Eddie Palmieri. Nos da luces de navegacion para comprender mejor la cultura caleña que hace parte de aquella diaspora musical que se origino en un bohio cubano, viajo hasta Nueva York y retorno a nuestras raices para quedarse para siempre. Cali: Salsa Forever es un homenaje a Cali, a nuestros padres y a nuestros hijos.

Un recorrido histórico-musical por el género rioplatense más importante a nivel global Tango de ayer y de siempre es un libro que ofrece un fascinante recorrido histórico-musical por el género típico rioplatense. Con una mirada apasionada y un profundo conocimiento, Hugo Omar Lettieri desentraña los hilos de la historia de este genero musical tan nuestro, que mantiene su vigencia en el mundo entero. Un texto con historias y anecdotas cautivadoras, pero con la rigurosidad y la pasion de un conocedor del genero.Estas paginas nos sumergen en los origenes, caracteristicas y contexto historico del tango, revelando sus raices y evolucion a lo largo del tiempo, los momentos clave y las transformaciones que el genero ha experimentado, desde sus humildes comienzos en los suburbios de Buenos Aires y Montevideo hasta convertirse en un fenomeno cultural global.Con mas de 50 fichas ilustradas podremos conocer a los principales exponentes (interpretes, letristas, musicos, compositores, directores de orquesta) del genero, como los hermanos Julio y Francisco De Caro, Carlos Gardel, Agustin Magaldi, Julio Sosa, Osvaldo Pugliese, Alberto Mastra, Tita Merello, Lagrima Rios, entre muchos otros, y un anexo documental donde el bandoneon da entrada al Tango en el cine, a un minidiccionario del lunfardo y una lista de los 100 principales tangos, milongas y valses que uno deberia escuchar para vivir esta musica.Tango de ayer y de siempre se presenta como una guia completa y amena, una invitacion a sumergirse en su rica y apasionante historia, tanto para aquellos que ya estan familiarizados con el genero como para quienes estan comenzando a explorarlo, a sentirlo y valorarlo.

La opción tomada por el mundo adulto al momento de concebir una idea de música para la infancia se traduce en fórmulas que priorizan la repetición y la simplificación: melodías breves, con una cantidad minima de materiales y desarrollos tematicos; predominancia de una textura melodia y acompañamiento; propuesta ritmica basada en compases y ritmos regulares; ausencia de contrastes; o desarrollos armonicos siempre evidentes. En contraposicion a esto, en 1980 surge Mazapan, una agrupacion chilena creadora de musica para la infancia. Su motivacion fundacional fue concebir un repertorio que constituyera una alternativa a esa musica dirigida a la infancia: canciones provenientes del repertorio tradicional y las concebidas y difundidas por la industria radial, televisiva y discografica, focalizadas mas en el entretenimiento que en lo formativo. Se inicio asi una compleja propuesta que puso en juego recursos y procedimientos provenientes de la musica antigua europea, el repertorio tradicional de distintas culturas y la musica popular.

Cuando se aborda el estudio de la etnomúsica en los países andinos, impresiona la variedad de ritmos, melodías, armonías e instrumentos musicales que, imbricados con los calendarios heliolátrico y festivos, estructuran cosmoaudiciones y paisajes sonoros de sugerentes caracteristicas. En el ambito organologico se destacan los instrumentos aerofonos, por sus multiples formas, afinaciones, materiales de construccion y sonoridades, producto de un sostenido proceso de busqueda y decantacion sonora, iniciado hace miles de años por los habitantes de esta America profunda. En el caso del Ecuador se han encontrado instrumentos arqueologicos aerofonos de ceramica, con una antiguedad aproximada de 3.500 años a.C., algunos con caracteristicas morfologicas y acusticas de excepcionales particularidades, como las botellas silbato de la culturas Chorrera, Bahia o Jama Coaque, consideradas como las mas antiguas de su genero en el mundo andino

La música tiene la extraordinaria cualidad, entre otras, de ayudarnos a configurar nuestra idea del mundo. Por más que los puristas insistan en que lo personal, lo político, lo social y lo artístico no deben mezclarse, Daniel Barenboim recuerda en este inspirador texto que la escucha y el conocimiento de las musicas mas variadas indica precisamente lo contrario. Apelando a su inquebrantable compromiso con la paz entre Israel y Palestina, examina el increible potencial de la musica para acercarnos, tender puentes y comprender al otro. La musica despierta el tiempo revela asi el fascinante poder del fenomeno musical no solo para arrojar luz sobre la condicion humana, sino tambien para dar respuesta a algunos de los mayores retos a los que hacemos frente.Es el mejor libro sobre musica que se ha publicado desde hace años. La categoria intelectual y humana de Daniel Barenboim se percibe en todo el libro y convierte al autor, no solo en un gigante de la musica europea, sino en la persona que mejor ha entendido la dimension intelectual y espiritual de la musica, y, por eso mismo, el papel que podria jugar en la formacion de la ciudadania de cualquier pais.Jordi Llovet, El Pais (Quadern)El pianista y director de orquesta se rebela contra los que mantienen que no hay que mezclar el arte con lo personal. Su compromiso (incluido el politico) guia este libro, en el que el ensayo y la reflexion vienen apoyados por referencias con nombre propio.El CulturalEstamos ante un conjunto de ensayos y reflexiones ciertamente estimulante. Porque a decir verdad Barenboim no solo es un genial musico sino que es un pensador audaz, capaz de confrontarse con los grandes interrogantes que han ocupado a los mas celebres filosofos desde hace siglos.Alejandor Martinez, Platea MagazineOriginal ensayo recopilatorio que se convierte, de manera practica, en la defensa de un ideario vital y profesional, ademas de un alegato apasionado a favor de la musica, de su poder inmenso sobre el ser humano, tanto a nivel individual como colectivo.Cosme Marina, La Nueva EspañaIndudablemente, La musica despierta el tiempo es un libro necesario para comprender que a traves del prisma de la musica la vida se vislumbra mejor. Como decia el celebre director de orquesta Leonard Bernstein, la musica puede dar nombre a lo innombrable y comunicar lo desconocido y parece que Barenboim esta de acuerdo con esa filosofia de vida.Preslava Boneva, The ObjectiveLa reflexion que predomina en este libro y, en realidad, en todo lo que Barenboim dice, escribe y hace desde hace ya una treintena de años, surge de la capacidad moral y la potencia transformadora de la musica, que el esta decidido a aplicar al avispero de Oriente Medio.Alvaro Guibert, El CulturalAl margen de su vision particular de la musica, los textos desvelan una vision del arte sonoro no solo como afirmacion, sino tambien como escuela de la vida.P.

La del Tesoro: Historia de la Música Jamaicana del Siglo XX es un acontecimiento histórico de la crítica musical en español, tan inaudito como atrevido, en unos territorios hispanohablantes tan yermos de informacion veraz sobre los misterios del exito mundial de la musica reggae y todos sus precedentes y derivados. Un verdadero regalo para los lectores y seguidores hispanohablantes en todo el mundo. Es seguro que, aunque te consideres un entendido, encontraras algo que no sabias.Concebido originalmente en la era preinternet como un compendio de articulos periodisticos con vocacion enciclopedica y elaborados por los mejores especialistas del genero jamaicano en España, su revision final en el año 2002, coincidiendo con la llegada de las plataformas digitales de intercambio de archivos y el fin de toda una era musical como se conocio en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, esta obra magna tuvo que esperar veinte años hasta poder ver la luz.Con la perspectiva que da el tiempo, su valor añadido a dia de hoy, podria afirmarse que, incluso, ha aumentado. La prolija informacion que detalla durante setenta y cinco capitulos y un prologo final dedicado al reggae en español no solo sobre las idas y venidas de artistas, estilos y epocas, sino sobre los cambios sociales, politicos y religiosos de la isla del tesoro que explican su variada produccion artistica era practicamente desconocida en el idioma de Cervantes hasta ahora y solo podia encontrarse, incluso en Internet, de una forma fragmentada y demasiadas veces sin contrastar, a lo que este volumen viene a dar solucion definitiva aportando luz en español al periodo dorado de la musica jamaicana. Mucho mas alla de la figura e impacto comercial de Bob Marley, este libro unico repara la injusticia historica de desconocimiento al que la barrera idiomatica habia conducido en el mundo hispanohablante, hasta entroncar con las corrientes actuales del siglo XXI. Solo los rios de Babilonia diran si el esfuerzo y la dedicacion de los autores y el reconocimiento del publico permitiran alcanzar en un futuro su desembocadura hasta la actualidad.
