"This book tells readers: tracing the classical music networks that Cuban composers cultivated between 1940 and 1991 through examining compositions, ensembles, and cultural institutions with a microhistorical approach. It sets the foundation for investigating how aesthetics and politics intersected in the case studies explored throughout the book: individual points of view largely determined the degree to which composers engaged in various local and international artistic networks; and these networks were constantly being nurtured and shaped by their actors, who also had to contend with national and global political and economic circumstances. This chapter provides readers with working definitions of key concepts: modernism, avant-garde, experimentalism, and vanguardia. Key figures Fernando Ortiz and Alejo Carpentier and their contributions to the intellectual milieu that Cuban composers inhabited -especially the concepts of transculturation and lo real maravilloso, respectively-are also discussed. It contextualizes the book within existing scholarship on 20th-century classical music of the Americas, Eastern Europe, and the Cold War, as well as those dealing with Cuban music and Cuban studies more broadly"--

While Fernando Ortiz's contribution to our understanding of Cuba and Latin America more generally has been widely recognized since the 1940s, recently there has been renewed interest in this scholar and activist who made lasting contributions to a staggering array of fields. This book is the first work in English to reassess Ortiz's vast intellectual universe. Essays in this volume analyze and celebrate his contribution to scholarship in Cuban history, the social sciences--notably anthropology--and law, religion and national identity, literature, and music. Presenting Ortiz's seminal thinking, including his profoundly influential concept of 'transculturation', Cuban Counterpoints explores the bold new perspectives that he brought to bear on Cuban society. Much of his most challenging and provocative thinking--which embraced simultaneity, conflict, inherent contradiction and hybridity--has remarkable relevance for current debates about Latin America's complex and evolving societies.

In Music and Cosmopolitanism, Cristina Magaldi examines music making in a past globalized world. This volume focuses on one city, Rio de Janeiro, and how it became part of a larger world through music and performance. Magaldi describes a process of creating connections beyond national borders, one that is familiar to contemporary city residents, but which was already dominant at the turn of the 20th century, as new technological developments led to alternative ways of making and experiencing music.

Origins of Cuban Music and Dance: Changüí is the first in-depth study of changüí, a style of music and dance in Guantánamo, Cuba. Changüí is analogous to blues in the United States and is a crucible of Cuban Creole culture. Benjamin Lapidus describes changüí and its relationship to the roots of son, Cuba's national genre and the style of music that contributed to the development of salsa, in Eastern Cuba. He also highlights the connections between Afro-Haitian music and Cuban popular music through changüí, connections with the Caribbean that have been largely overlooked in the past. After an initial historical discussion about the region of Guantánamo and the inter-connectedness of its various musical styles with a focus on changüí, Lapidus discusses the technical aspects of the genre as practiced within the region and beyond. He considers the socio-historical importance of its lyrics, presenting numerous musical transcriptions that explain how the music is structured, as well as providing background stories to songs. In a chapter unique to this book and a first in Cuban musicology and ethnography, Lapidus describes years of festivals and musical competitions to show how local musical identity takes shape, particularly when encountering national narratives of music history. The volume concludes with a comparison between changüí and son, as well as a bibliography, discography, and videography.

Mexican Canto Nuevo: Music, Politics, and Resistance explores the vibrant history of Canto Nuevo, a musical and cultural movement that influenced Mexican music, politics, and culture from the 1960s to the late 1980s. Author Claudio Palomares-Salas delves into every aspect of Canto Nuevo's evolution, from its origins during the 1968 student movement to its peak and eventual decline two decades later. Palomares-Salas offers a comprehensive, rigorous, and easy-to-follow path to understand Canto Nuevo in all its complexity, discussing Canto Nuevo's nomenclature and temporality, the Marxist-humanist principles that defined the movement's lyrical production and governed the lives of its participants, as well as the folklorization processes that were at the core of Canto Nuevo's origins and development. He examines Canto Nuevo's relationship with other militant song movements, such as Chilean Nueva Canción, Cuban Nueva Trova, and Uruguayan Canto Popular, reasserting Mexican Canto Nuevo in current academic discussions on the pan-Latin American Nueva Canción movement of the 1960s-1980s. The chapters offer much-needed chronological analysis of main events, peñas, artists' organizations, record labels, festivals, and albums that allow the reader to make sense of the politics, aesthetics, and goals of a broad and multifaceted movement that spanned over two decades. Notably, Palomares-Salas clarifies the complex relationship between the Mexican state and Canto Nuevo, clearly explaining the climate of hostile tolerance in which it developed. The book thoroughly explores the work of the movement's most prominent and influential singers, singer-songwriters, and groups, among them Los Folkloristas, Judith Reyes, José de Molina, León Chávez Teixeiro, Óscar Chávez, Los Nakos, Margarita Bauche, Enrique Ballesté, Amparo Ochoa, La Peña Móvil, Gabino Palomares, and several others. A crucial academic resource and a must-read for those passionate about Mexican and Latin American music, politics, and culture, readers will gain a chronological perspective on key events, artists, and organizations that defined the politics and aesthetics of the Canto Nuevo movement.

In the middle of the twentieth century, transnational networks sparked a range of cultural projects focused on collecting Indigenous music and folklore in the Americas. Indigenous Audibilities follows the social relations that created these collections in four interconnected case studies linking the U.S., Mexico, Nicaragua, and Chile. Indigenous collections were embedded in political projects that negotiated issues of cultural diplomacy, national canons, and heritage. The case studies recuperate the traces of marginalized voices in archives, paying special attention to women and Indigenous people. Despite the dominant agendas of national and international institutions, the diverse actors and the multi-directional influences often led to unexpected outcomes. Author Amanda Minks brings together vivid storytelling and theories of collection, voice, and recording to challenge the transparency of archives as a historical source. The book presents a social-historical method of listening, reading, and thinking beyond the referentiality of archived texts, and in the process uncovers neglected genealogies of cultural music research in the Americas.

Surveying the impact of Cuba's economic crisis after the demise of the eastern socialist block, this book documents a relatively unexplored transnational network of collaborations among Cuban musicians that migrated to many different countries from the 1990s forward. The book’s main argument is that in light of the 1990s crisis in Cuba, new transnational and alternative narratives emerged, resulting in creative “in-between” spaces that reflect a post- socialist aesthetic condition. The manuscript also documents important developments in the Cuban jazz and fusion scenes outside the island in the last 20+ years..
