Its the early 1990s in Glasgow, and Stephen - music loving romantic - has emerged from a lengthy hospital stay diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, a little-understood disease that has robbed him of any prospects of work, a social life or independent living. Meeting fellow strugglers, who the world seems to care less and less for, they form their own support group and try to get by as cheaply and as painlessly as possible. Finding that he has the ability to write songs, albeit in a slow and fledgling way, Stephen wakes to the possibility of a spiritual life beyond the everyday, and feels a calling for someplace else. Leaving Glasgow in search of a cure in the mythic warmth of California, Stephen and his friend Richard float between hostels, sofas, and park benches. Could the trip really offer them both a new-world reinvention?

Un viaje a la nostalgia de los 90 a través de las 90 canciones que marcaron la década.Los 90 fueron una época caótica, descarnada y tremendamente mágica para la música. Grandes estrellas, nuevas formas de crear, estilos diversos: del grunge al hiphop, del suntuoso rythm and blues al disonante ska, de Britney Spears a Radiohead, de las Spice Girls a Sinead OConnor o de Blur a Nirvana.Mezclando los ritmos como si nos lanzase a una enorme pista de baile, en Los 90 en 90 canciones (o mas) el periodista musical Rob Harvilla revisita los empalagosos, pegadizos e iconicos hits de la generacion X, enun relato que combina la solidez narrativa y el analisis agudo a un ritmo vertiginoso.Aderezado con reflexiones personales, mucha ironia y grandes dosis de humor, Harvilla repasa las canciones mas extrañas, alegres e inolvidables de una decada musical que, al mismo tiempo que nos sonrojamos, añoramos tremendamente.

Zicartola: Política e samba na casa de Cartola e D. Zica conta a história do lendário Zicartola, casa de samba pioneira de Cartola, grande sambista da Mangueira, e sua esposa, dona Zica, cozinheira e antiga pastora da verde e rosa. Em menos de dois anos funcionando em um sobrado da rua da Carioca, nº53, entre os anos de 1963 e 1965, o ambiente criado pelo casal influenciou importantes acontecimentos culturais da turbulenta decada de 1960.Ali, dona Zica comandava a cozinha e Cartola cuidava da programaço musical. Foi no palco do lugar que ressurgiram velhos sambistas como Ismael Silva, Nelson Cavaquinho e Ze Keti, e nasceu uma nova geraço do samba, com nomes como o de Paulinho da Viola, por exemplo, que recebeu no Zicartola seus primeiros caches. Com filas quilometricas que se estendiam ate a Praça Tiradentes, a casa logo se tornou ponto de encontro, em tempos de agitaço que antecederam o golpe de 1964. Com deliciosas historias do cotidiano e dos bastidores deste local epico, depoimentos de nomes como Dona Zica, Carlos Lyra, Elton Medeiros, Ferreira Gullar, Paulinho da Viola, Nelson Sargento, Zicartola: Politica e samba na casa de Cartola e D. Zica traz ainda imagens dos convites da epoca, do cardapio da casa, fotos de arquivo, alem de dados sobre a recepço do estabelecimento na imprensa da epoca, mostrando que o Zicartola ja dava o que falar e apontava os motivos para entrar para a historia.

Sergio Pujol pone a dialogar los hechos de la historia nacional con las prácticas y representaciones de una música "progresiva" que empezaba a hacerse oír con fuerza y convicción, a menudo a espaldas del mercado, del gusto establecido y los guardianes de la tradicion.ARGENTINA, 1973. El año de la "juventud maravillosa", del "Tio" Campora, la Juventud Peronista y los Montoneros. El año de la masacre de Ezeiza, el comienzo del tercer mandato presidencial de Peron y el asesinato de Jose Ignacio Rucci. El año en que el poder del ministro Jose Lopez Rega empezaba a perfilarse y las organizaciones guerrilleras creian en la inminencia de la revolucion. ¿Los jovenes al poder, finalmente? Mientras tanto, en la habitacion de su casa paterna, un joven de veintitres años, Luis Alberto Spinetta, componia una serie de canciones mayormente inspiradas en la lectura de Antonin Artaud, el mas maldito de los surrealistas franceses. De aquel viaje poblado de musica, poesia y la realidad de un pais en ebullicion naceria Artaud, un disco esencial de la cultura argentina: un clamor de liberacion en el año de las grandes promesas liberadoras. En la linea de sus anteriores libros, La decada rebelde y Rock y dictadura. Cronica de una generacion (1976-1983), Sergio Pujol pone a dialogar los hechos de la historia nacional con las prácticas y representaciones de una música "progresiva" que empezaba a hacerse oír con fuerza y convicción, a menudo a espaldas del mercado, del gusto establecido y los guardianes de la tradicion. "Aunque me fuercen yo nunca voy a decir/que todo tiempo por pasado fue mejor./ Mañana es mejor", anotaba Spinetta en el verso mas celebre de su "Cantata de puentes amarillos". Con un estilo narrativo que no da respiro y un uso pocas veces visto de diversas fuentes documentales, El año de Artaud se interna en la no siempre armoniosa relacion entre la accion politica y los sueños de una musica que, acaso como ninguna otra, supo encarnar la imaginacion utopica de su tiempo.

Deeping It analyses drills fight against moral panic and its fraught relationship with the police and political authority in the UK, exemplified by constant censorship, racism, and moments such as when a drill duo became the first people in British legal history to receive a prison sentence for simply performing a song.Policing, policy and criminalisation are the cornerstones of colonial suppression; art, self-expression and collective action are beacons of resistance. Deeping It places drill firmly in the latter category, tracing its production and criminalisation across borders and eras of the British Empire, exploring drills artistic singularity but also its inherent threat as a Black artform in a world that prioritises whiteness.Intervening on this discourse steeped in anti-Blackness, this Inkling deeps how the criminalisation of UK drill cannot be disentangled from histories, technologies, and realities of colonialism and consumerism.

The music that would come to be known as hip-hop was born at a party in the Bronx in the summer of 1973. Now, fifty years later, its the most popular music genre in America. Just as jazz did in the first half of the twentieth century, hip-hop and its groundbreaking DJs and artistsnearly all of them people of colour from some of Americas most overlooked communitiespushed the boundaries of music to new frontiers, while transfixing the countrys youth and reshaping fashion, art, and even language.And yet, the stories of many hip-hop pioneers and their individual contributions in the pre-Internet days of mixtapes and word of mouth are rarely heardand some are at risk of being lost forever. Now, in The Come Up, the New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Abrams offers the most comprehensive account so far of hip-hops rise, a multi-decade chronicle told in the voices of the people who made it happen.In more than three hundred interviews conducted over three years, Abrams has captured the stories of the DJs, executives, producers, and artists who both witnessed and themselves forged the history of hip-hop. Masterfully combining these voices into a seamless symphonic narrative, Abrams traces how the genre grew out of the resourcefulness of a neglected population in the South Bronx, and from there how it flowed into New York Citys other boroughs, and beyondfrom electrifying live gatherings, then on to radio and vinyl, below to the Mason-Dixon Line, west to Los Angeles through gangster rap and G-funk, and then across generations.Abrams has on record Grandmaster Caz detailing hip-hops infancy, Edward "Duke Bootee" Fletcher describing the origins of "The Message," DMC narrating his role in introducing hip-hop to the mainstream, Ice Cube recounting N.W.As breakthrough and breakup, Kool Moe Dee recalling his Grammys boycott, and countless more key players. Throughout, Abrams conveys with singular vividness the drive, the stakes, and the relentless creativity that ignited one of the greatest revolutions in modern music.The Come Up is an exhilarating behind-the-scenes account of how hip-hop came to rule the worldand an essential contribution to music history.
