Illuminating exploration of Afro-Latin music’s challenge to Western cultural imperialism. Popular music in the Americas, from jazz, Cuban and Latin salsa to disco and rap, is overwhelmingly neo-African. Created in the midst of war and military invasion, and filtered through a Western worldview, these musical forms are completely modern in their sensibilities: they are in fact the very sound of modern life. But the African religious philosophy at their core involved a longing for earlier eras — ones that pre-dated the technological discipline of labor forced on captive populations by the European occupiers. In this groundbreaking new book, Timothy Brennan shows how the popular music of the Americas — the music of entertainment, nightlife, and leisure — is involved in a devotion to an... Less

In this groundbreaking study, D. R. M. Irving reconnects the Philippines to current musicological discourse on the early modern Hispanic world. For some two and a half centuries, the Philippine Islands were firmly interlinked to Latin America and Spain through transoceanic relationships of politics, religion, trade, and culture. The city of Manila, founded in 1571, represented a vital intercultural nexus and a significant conduit for the regional diffusion of Western music. Within its ethnically diverse society, imported and local musics played a crucial role in the establishment of ecclesiastical hierarchies in the Philippines and in propelling the work of Roman Catholic missionaries in neighboring territories. Manila's religious institutions resounded with sumptuous vocal and... Less

This box set of four documentaries provides a comprehensive examination of the organ as a musical instrument over the centuries. First on the bill is Latin Origins, which discusses the device's inception, in Bartolomeo Formentelli's workshop in Verona, Italy, and its gradual spread through Spain, France, and Italy; subtopics include the Golden Age of the organ in Sixteenth Century Spain, the French style of the organ in the Eighteenth Century, and the classicist style popular in Italy. The second documentary, From Sweelinck to Bach, moves ahead into the 17th and 18th Centuries, and looks at the development of the instrument during that 200-year period, with examinations of composers who made the organ a cornerstone of their work, such as J.S. Bach and Jan Pieterszoon Sweelink. The third... Less

Latin music, like many genres, is hard to pigeonhole with a simple explanation, a sampler album, or a 500-word essay. It's complex and encompasses a lot of different styles, and it has undergone many changes and developments in its life. But London-based DJ Lubi Jovanovic should still be given credit for attempting to create a kind of introduction to it in his three-disc Beginner's Guide to Latin Music. The first disc, Old School, presents some of the founders -- Celia Cruz, Johnny Pacheco, Willie Colón -- and Jovanovic does a good job of including songs (though not necessarily the most famous) from the biggest and most talented Latin artists of the '50s and '60s on one disc. Though it seems slightly unfair that such little space is given to these musicians, it can probably be explained... Less
