Empathy is the currency of all music and Joe Mulhall does a great job of explaining how that quality has been used to generate solidarity for the struggle and sympathy for those who suffer injustice Billy Bragg While the global history of the dictatorships oppression racism and state violence over the last century is well known the role that music played in people s lives during these times is less understood This book is a collection of stories and hidden histories about how music provided light in the darkest of times over the past century How it steeled souls and inspired resistance to oppression Rebel Sounds will explore freedom songs in the Republic of Ireland the Soviet Union s oppression behind the Berlin Wall authoritarian dictatorships in Brazil and Nigeria institutionalised racism and police violence in America and South Africa street violence in Britain ethnic cleansing in the Balkans and musical resistance in war torn Ukraine This is a social history of the twentieth century but one that takes in the human impulse to create share and enjoy the one thing that connects cultures and spans generations music Illuminating uplifting and important James O Brien

La música y el vino comparten la epistemología del misterio. La subjetividad determina el efecto que causan en nosotros. La música de Bach es infinita y eterna. Encierra los secretos del arte y los enigmas de la existencia y, despues de trescientos años, continua despertando pasiones, calmando el hambre de respuestas y cautivando a las almas curiosas. El vino de Champagne es infinito y eterno. Guardian del placer de los sentidos, encierra un jardin diferente en cada botella, un viaje a las personas que lo han hecho posible. Despues de trescientos años, lejos de haber permanecido en el olvido, el Champagne continua proporcionando inspiracion como uno de los extras elegantes de la vida. Musica liquida: champagne y (des)variaciones Goldberg nos ofrece una mirada inedita sobre la belleza que comparten el vino y la musica, se acerca a los debates contemporaneos como el concepto de terroir y las formas de produccion sostenibles, e incide en la importancia del vino (concretamente el vino de Champagne) y el arte (en este caso, la musica, las Variaciones Goldberg, de Bach) como elementos culturales identitarios de nuestra civilizacion. El vinculo entre los treinta y dos productores de champagne que el autor considera esenciales, y las Variaciones Goldberg, de Bach, proporciona al relato nuevos elementos que transforman y enriquecen los aspectos puramente sensoriales.

The first memoir to tell the story of John Lennon and Yoko's life from the Beatles split to John's untimely death in 1980 - from the inside. Honest, insightful, humane, revealing, it will bring the lives of two cultural icons to life like never before.'A charmingly modest tale of a long brush with stardom, with all its pleasures and frustrations' Kirkus'A captivating and intimate window into the complicated lives of one of rocks most legendary couples' Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)_____________'Its hard to define the relationship Elliot had with our family. But I ultimately think the best word to describe him is: friend. Perhaps our closest friend. The reason I wanted Elliot to write a book, first and foremost, is because he is a good storyteller. The fact that he was there in the lives of John and Yoko (and mine), is really just icing on the cake. I like hearing him talk, and Im sure you will, too' Sean Ono LennonFrom the moment he interviewed Yoko Ono on his late night radio show in September 1971, Elliot Mintzs life would never the same again. That phone call would lead him to an intense and revealing friendship with Yoko and her husband, John Lennon, until Johns untimely death in 1980, and beyond, to the present day.In 1971, then the talk host on American airwaves, Elliot Mintz was talking to all of the major figures in the burgeoning West Coast music scene when he was asked whether he would interview Yoko about her new album. Their talk quickly lead to other private calls and then to John Lennon, with whom he quickly formed a firm bond. Those conversations became hours-long epics, to the extent that Elliot had another phone line put in, for which only two people had the number - John and Yoko.The aftermath of The Beatles breakup ushered in a tumultuous decade. Elliot witnessed it, or heard all about it, at close hand including the unbearable cost of such fame when John and Yoko separated for what became known as his lost weekend. There was joy when their son Sean was born and the creative rebirth that was the multi-platinum selling triumph, Double Fantasy. But then there was unimaginable tragedy too when John was brutally murdered in December 1980.

Este libro trata sobre guitarras con las que se escribió una parte significativa de la historia de la música en Barcelona. Acontecimientos, casi olvidados, que tuvieron lugar detrás y delante de los muros de la capital de la musica, se recrean con devocion al original autentico. Se pregunta por los sucesos inusuales en teatros, escuelas, iglesias, plazas y casas de familias burguesas, como por ejemplo: ¿Que tiene que ver la Plaza del Rey con el desarrollo de la musica de guitarra? ¿De donde proviene la musa del laud en la Plaza de Cataluña? ¿Donde compro Fernando Sor sus cuerdas de guitarra y donde experimento la libertad? ¿Como reacciono el guitarrista Jose Viñas en la iglesia de Santa Maria del Mar ante las muecas de otro musico? ¿Cuales fueron las consecuencias del conflicto entre los "liceistas" burgueses y los "cruzeistas" tradicionales para Francisco Tarrega? Este libro proporciona muchas respuestas, una gran cantidad de conocimientos historicos sobre la guitarra y, sin duda, hara sonreir al lector.

Woodstock es el festival más mítico de la historia del rock, ¿por qué? Parece claro que los astros se alinearon: una guerra ininteligible a la otra punta del mundo, una juventud hastiada de las mentiras que la generacion anterior dio por buenas y un futuro incierto llevaron a la creacion del festival acuariano de Woodstock (Ulster, Nueva York), donde no les dejaron celebrar el festival, y donde la contracultura hippy del momento engullo e hizo suyas las premisas de aquella juventud que no deseaba ser lo mismo que sus padres, ni para ellos ni para sus hijos. Medio millon de personas acudieron y destruyeron la idea de que tanta gente junta provocaria incidentes. Fueron tres dias de paz y armonia, de una comunion por el respeto a la vida y a la creatividad. Como autor auno tres de mis pasiones: la musica, la psicologia social y la sociologia para intentar explicar el resplandor y la mitologia de este festival que nos regalo algunos momentos magicos y algo que parece que nunca regresara: la calidad cultural como bandera de la lucha contra la injusticia Lo demas fue lluvia, barro, hierba, acido y excitacion por las palabras y los sonidos alli expresados.

The story of Manic Street Preachers is unique in pop Raging out of the stricken mining communities of south Wales in the late 80s they were bonded by friendships family ties and a self styled geometry of contempt whereby James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore would orchestrate the daring intellectual broadsides written by Richey Edwards and Nicky Wire Seemingly condemned to mere cult status by a cruel juncture of artistic triumph commercial failure and personal despair the story took an agonising twist when the tragedy of Edwards 1995 disappearance was followed by a remarkable rebirth built upon A Design For Life s hymn to the band s working class roots and then the award winning multi million selling album Everything Must Go a majestic soundtrack to history and loss Less than five years later Manic Street Preachers played to 60 000 at the national stadium of Wales and had their second UK Number 1 single Subsequent output has confirmed the band as both a wellspring of restless creativity and a barometer of the cultural conversation Because it was music that saved them it s through the prism of their music that Keith Cameron tells the definitive history of Manic Street Preachers drawing on many hours of new interviews to dive deep into 168 songs

La originalísima propuesta que Ricardo Aguilera desarrolla en este libro abre una vía inédita en la literatura musical al seleccionar 50 canciones para relacionarlas con otros tantos hechos históricos. Algunos grandes, otros pequeños. Todos parte de una centuria tan agitada como fue la pasada. Son composiciones, alentadas por unamuy encomiable y desprejuiciada amplitud demiras sonoras, abiertas a los generos y las latitudes. Conformando con ellas un texto que invita a viajar a traves de la Historia, la musica y los oceanos. 50 canciones para entender el siglo XX se sustenta en una enriquecedora, cuidada y rigurosa documentacion. Sin embargo, Aguilera elude los formalismos con un estilo cercano, directo, desenfadado y no exento de sabias y agradecidas dosis demordacidad, ironia y humor. Su claridad narrativa y el ritmo agil consiguen que cada uno de estos cincuenta capitulos?a los que se agregan dos epilogos?se devoren como pequeños ensayos que, sin duda, invitan a la reflexion. Y, por supuesto, a la escucha. La revolucion mexicana, la Guerra Fria, el inicio del selloMotown o las dictaduras latinoa

The worlds of pop and rock owe a much greater debt to the classical canon than we realise A direct and fascinating lineage draws from the experimentalism of Pierre Henry to The Beatles Tomorrow Never Knows from Stockhausen to Donna Summer s I Feel Love and from Bruckner to Sonic Youth via Glenn Branca In Everything We Do is Music Elizabeth Alker highlights the innovators of classical music and their fans and collaborators in pop who challenged the notion that such musical worlds were mutually exclusive Alker shines a light on the rich tapestry that exists between their borders through exclusive interviews with Sir Paul McCartney Steve Reich La Monte Young Nils Frahm The Blessed Madonna Jonny Greenwood Soweto Kinch and Jean Michel Jarre among others
