Nor-tec Rifa!
Author: Alejandro L. Madrid
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199716897
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
At the dawn of the twenty-first century, the Nor-tec phenomenon emerged from the border city of Tijuana and through the Internet, quickly conquered a global audience. Marketed as a kind of "ethnic" electronic dance music, Nor-tec samples sounds of traditional music from the north of Mexico, and transforms them through computer technology used in European and American techno music and electronica. Tijuana has media links to both Mexico and the United States, with peoples, currencies, and cultural goods--perhaps especially music--from both sides circulating intensely within the city. Older residents and their more mobile, cosmopolitan-minded children thus engage in a constant struggle with identity and nationality, appropriation and authenticity. Nor-tec music in its very composition encapsulates this city's struggle, resonating with issues felt on the global level, while holding vastly different meanings to the variety of communities that embrace it. With an impressive hybrid of musicology, ethnomusicology, cultural and performance studies, urbanism, and border studies, Nor-tec Rifa! offers compelling insights into the cultural production of Nor-tec as it stems from norteña, banda, and grupera traditions. The book is also among the first to offer detailed accounts of Nor-tec music's composition process.

The Knight of the Blue Boots
Author: Rosalía de Castro
Publisher: J.O.P
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
"The Knight of the Blue Boots (strange tale)," the best-considered novel by Rosalía de Castro, belongs to realism now, although it is a work full of magic and fantasy, very much in the style of Hoffmann. The story tells of the vicissitudes of a knight who calls himself Duke of Glory and appears unexpectedly in different parts of Madrid, leaving everyone open-mouthed with his strange appearance. He wears blue boots, a white bow shaped like a hawk and a wand with a bell. His captivating personality and attractiveness open the doors to palaces and Madrid gatherings, but above all to the wills of the ladies. The Duke, curiously, does not seem interested in these conquests but in carrying out the strange task of bringing to light the disastrous state of literature, criticism and publishing, no less degenerate than the pampered readers, almost exclusively interested in pseudo-historical novels and romantic serials. Having completed his task of public denunciation and ridicule, the Duke of Glory evaporates as mysteriously as he had appeared. His presence has broken the schemes of the Madrid bourgeoisie, who consider him a madman, although a madman genius. The Duke of Glory is the symbol of literary innovation."
