Este texto es una propuesta para el abordaje del estudio del piano en la música tropical o chucu-chucu, en el que se hace una recopilación de distintos saberes y se pone por escrito la tradición oral recibida de algunos musicos que han dedicado su vida a la interpretacion de este genero. En la presente guia se consigna la experiencia personal de uno de los autores como integrante de orquestas y agrupaciones de musica bailable. El objetivo principal se enfoca en tener un registro en notacion musical del chucu-chucu para facilitar su interpretacion en las instituciones de educacion musical formal. Nuestro proposito es difundir algunas alternativas de interpretacion del teclado en la musica popular a una amplia poblacion de estudiantes, musicos y docentes de musica formados en la tradicion academica. La metodologia del texto se organizo pensando en la forma en que ellos aprenden: primero se encuentran las partituras, la teoria y posteriormente, el maestro da indicaciones de interpretacion. La organizacion tematica consiste en presentar los patrones de tumbaos escritos para ser estudiados y luego se da una alternativa de como deben sonar en el contexto real mediante el material de apoyo (videos). Se exponen distintos patrones de los tumbaos utilizados en el genero, partiendo de la base ritmica de la percusion y los acentos caracteristicos que le dan el sabor al acompañamiento del piano. Al final de este libro se enseñan dos ejemplos de partituras o papeles reales de notacion musical en el chucu-chucu y se sugieren algunas agrupaciones para escuchar, estudiar su estilo y sentir su sabor.

Fruto de un año y medio de trabajo, y de cientos de horas de entrevistas con los principales actores y protagonistas de la escena musical y empresarial, "¡Bacalao!" es el primer libro que aborda de manera exhaustiva, seria y rigurosa el panorama musical y de ocio nocturno valenciano del periodo que se extiende desde principios de los ochenta a mediados de los noventa.Tras la muerte de Franco, y en plena Transicion, España vivio un periodo de esplendor cultural underground que, influido por la eclosion del punk britanico, sento las bases de una nueva escena artistica, sobre todo musical, que, en Valencia, a partir de la iniciativa de unos pocos emprendedores y visionarios, fraguo el alumbramiento de algunas de las discotecas mas innovadoras y avanzadas de Europa. Alli empezaron a operar los primeros DJ del pais, mezclando los vinilos que importaban de Londres o que traian las intrepidas tiendas de discos que empezaron a proliferar en la ciudad. Nacia asi una cultura de clubs cuyos bastiones fueron discotecas como Barraca, Chocolate, Espiral, Spook Factory, Puzzle, A.C.T.V o N.O.D.Los primeros años de espiritu vanguardista y transgresor, y los pioneros conciertos que se organizaron en algunas de estas salas, desembocaron en la consolidacion de un modelo de ocio nocturno que exploto el frenesi de una juventud que buscaba encontrar sus propios referentes y hallo en el esparcimiento frenetico de la noche una forma de liberacion. Liberacion que propiciaron las drogas -al principio la mescalina, y luego el extasis, la cocaina y el speed- que cientos de jovenes consumian en las diferentes discotecas, algunas de las cuales abrian en horario de after hours, en un circuito que se podia prolongar ininterrumpidamente durante el fin de semana, y a veces mas alla.Pronto, el fenomeno se torno masivo, y las fiestas de la llamada "Ruta del Bakalao" o "Ruta Destroy" se hicieron multitudinarias.

El Festival de Eurovisión es mucho más que un evento musical y mucho más que un encuentro entre los países europeos. La victoria eurovisiva ha supuesto una fuente inagotable de sorpresas y decepciones en todas las ediciones celebradas desde 1956.

Grandes artistas, jovenes valores o perfectos desconocidos: cantantes y compositores que han creado canciones a veces mas emocionantes, divertidas y memorables que las que triunfaron. No ganaron Eurovision, ¡ni falta que les hacia! Vivieron una experiencia apasionante: durante una noche, un continente entero permanecio delante del televisor atento a sus actuaciones.En estas paginas, hemos querido recordar a todos esos artistas que parecen guardar un secreto: ¿Quienes fueron? ¿Por que participaron? ¿Como vivieron el festival? ¿Se sintieron decepcionados? Han pasado los años y ahora se permiten mirar atras. Que nos lo cuenten ellos mismos.

Louverture del Guglielmo Tell (titolo originale francese Guillaume Tell), e il brano orchestrale introduttivo dellopera composta da Gioachino Rossini. Lopera debutto nel 1829 ed e stata lultima delle 39 opere composte da Rossini, dopo la quale si ritiro dal panorama melodrammatico, continuando a comporre cantate, musica sacra e musica vocale profana. LOuverture e in quattro parti, ciascuna collegata musicalmente allaltra senza pause.

A must-read for anyone moved by the power of song - Lesley Garrett, CBESinging has always been there for us, at the root of what it is to be a human being. Through personal anecdote and scientific fact-finding, this book celebrates the way song inspires and heals us, from the cradle to the grave, and in the process does for singing what The Well-Gardened Mind did for nature, and what Why We Eat did for our diets.As a singing therapist, teacher and performer, Julia Hollander is in a unique position to consider singings importance to our wellbeing, charting its extraordinary influence on all aspects of our spiritual, emotional and physical lives. Why do parents feel compelled to sing to their newborns, and how does it help their development? What is it about song that brings communities together in harmony but also in protest? How come an activity that helps to embed languages and maths formulae can also be used to rehabilitate Long Covid sufferers? And what magic is at work when people who have lost the power to speak are still able to sing?By delving into her own life experiences, and calling on those of her fellow singers, the author seeks to answer these questions, underpinning her findings with the latest scientific research.In so many walks of life, people of all ages and backgrounds are waking up to the joys of singing, its power to give hope and connection in a fragmented world. Song-making is available in an increasingly broad range of social and therapeutic contexts, prescribed by doctors and community services. This book offers explanations for why this should be, and inspiration to anyone who loves to sing.

A Black feminist punk musician herself, Phillips addresses not only the unpredictable trajectory of Solanges career but also how she and other Black women see themselves through the musicians repertoire.

A remarkable feminist history and biography that features fragments from the five-decade career of an iconic artist.Through this deeply personal take, the real significance of Faithfull as an irrepressible female icon shines through.SHINDIGExcellent . . . Pearson deserves the widest possible audience.POPMATTERSFirst as a doe-eyed ingenue with As Tears Go By, then as a gravel-voiced phoenix rising from the ashes of the 1960s with a landmark punk album, Broken English, and finally as a genre-less icon, Marianne Faithfull carved her name into the history of rock n roll to chart a career spanning five decades and multiple detours.Why, then, was Faithfull absent from the male-dominated history of the British Invasion?Putting memoir on equal footing with biographical accounts, historian Tanya Pearson writes about Faithfull as an avid fan, recovered addict and queer musician at a crossroads. Whether exploring Faithfulls rise to celebrity, her drug addiction and fall from grace as a spurned muse or her reinvention as a sober, soulful chanteuse subverting all expectations for an ageing woman in music, Pearson reaffirms the deep connection between creator and listener in this remarkable feminist history of the iconic artist.Witty, passioante, and provactive.

At the same time, the uplifting harmonies and sunny lyrics that propelled Karen Carpenter and her brother, Richard, to international fame belied a different sort of tragedy - the underconsumption that led to Karens death at age thirty-two from the effects of an eating disorder.In Why Karen Carpenter Matters, Karen Tongson (whose parents named her after the pop icon) interweaves the story of the singers rise to fame in the 1960s and 70s with her own trans-Pacific journey between the Philippines - where imitations of American pop styles flourished - and Karen Carpenters home ground of Southern California. Tongson reveals why the Carpenters chart-topping, seemingly white-washed musical fantasies of normal love have profound significance for her - as well as for other people of colour, LGBT+ communities, and anyone outside the mainstream culture usually associated with Karen Carpenters legacy.This hybrid of memoir and biography excavates the destructive perfectionism at the root of the Carpenters sound, while finding the beauty in the singers all-too-brief life.Engrossing . . . a triumphant delight.4COLUMNSHeartfelt . . . excellent . . . breathtaking.EXCLAIM!Will resonate with readers who have never even heard of Carpenter.LITERARY HUBMUSIC MATTERS: SHORT BOOKS ABOUT THE ARTISTS WE LOVE- Why Solange Matters by Stephanie Phillips - Why Marianne Faithfull Matters by Tanya Pearson - Why Karen Carpenter Matters by Karen Tongson

Recent years have borne witness to underground genres leaking out from the inner cities, going on to become some of the most popular music in the nation.In this groundbreaking social history, journalist Aniefiok Ekpoudom travels the country to paint a compelling portrait of the dawn, boom and subsequent blossoming of UK rap and grime. Taking us from the heart of south London to the West Midlands and South Wales, he explores how a history of migration and an enduring spirit of resistance have shaped the current realities of these linked communities and the music they produce. These sounds have become vessels for the marginalised, carrying Black and working-class stories into the light.Vividly depicted and compassionately told, Where We Come From weaves together intimate stories of resilience, courage and loss, as well as a shared music culture that gave refuge and purpose to those in search of belonging. Ekpoudom offers a rich chronicle of rap, identity, place and, above all, the social and human condition in modern Britain.
