Cuba: Music and Revolution

Sinopsis del Libro

Spanning Cuban music from rumba to salsa, and graphic styles from socialist realist to geometric abstraction, this volume of Cuban record cover art traces a musical form in constant revolution. The first ever book about Cuban record sleeve design, compiled by Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker, Cuba: Music and Revolutionfeatures hundreds of rarely seen vinyl records from the start of the Cuban Revolution at the beginning of the 1960s up until 1985, when Cuba's Special Period, brought about by the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the withdrawal of Russia's financial support for the Cuban government, led to the demise of vinyl-record manufacturing in Cuba. The artwork here reflects both the cultural and musical depth of Cuba as well as the political influence of revolutionary communism. Over the past century, Cuban music has produced a seemingly endless variety of styles--rumba, mambo, son, salsa--at a dizzyingly fast rate. Since the 1940s a steady stream of Cuban musicians has also made the migration to the US, sparking changes in North American musical forms: bandleader Machito set New York's jazz and Latin scene on fire, and master drummer Chano Pozo's entry into Dizzy Gillespie's group led to the birth of Latin jazz, to name just two. After the Cuban Revolution in 1959, the new government closed American-owned nightclubs and consolidated the island's recording industry under a state-run monopoly. Out of this new socialist agenda came new musical styles, including the Nueva Trova movement of left-wing songwriters. The 1980s saw more experimentation in modernist jazz, salsa and Afro-Cuban folkloric music. Generously illustrated with hundreds of color images, Cuba: Music and Revolutionpresents the history of Cuban record cover art, including many examples previously unseen outside the island itself.

Didáctica de la lengua materna

En la enseñanza de la Lengua vienen a coincidir dos áreas que se neceistan solidariamente: la Didáctica Aplicada, por un lado, y la Lingüística, por otro. Actuar sin una u otra base no deja de ser un sin sentido que acarrea consecuencias perjudiciales para el alumno que necesita adquirir nuevos aprendizajes a la vez que consolidar y desarrollar sus propios conocimientos. La presente obra apunta a esta conjunción de perspectivas y a las posibilidades educativas que ofrece el trabajo interdisciplinar

Sólo dibujo

Throughout the history of art, drawing has always represented the most profound and true expression of artists' visions, the final frontier to prove the depth of their talent. This book is an exploration of several of Colombia's most representative artists' pencil work. In most cases, these sketches are the most basic yet crucial point of an artistic idea that is later completed in another medium—paint, marble, photography, or a computer. A lo largo de toda la historia del arte, el dibujo representa la expresión más profunda y verdadera del artista, la frontera final para probar la...
