Narcocorridos by Elijah Wald

    Narcocorridos by Elijah Wald
    No existe tradición más mexicana que la de los corridos, las heroicas baladas que celebran a los de abajo ' a los fugitivos y pistoleros. Al igual que las baladas de Robin Hood o de Jesse James, los corridos han sido para los pobres una manera de enaltecer a sus héroes. Los corridos siguen, pero sus héroes han cambiado: ahora son célebres los narcotraficantes.Elijah Wald cuenta la fascinante historia de esta nueva versión de una vieja tradición: la de los narcocorridos. Traza el desarrollo de los corridos desde sus or?genes en el indómito Oeste hasta su más reciente encarnación en la costa del mar Pacífico, la cuna del tráfico de drogas mexicano. Sigue su expansión hasta Los Angeles, donde los corridos son la voz de la juventud actual de los barrios latinos, y hasta los estados de Michoacán y Guerrero, donde canciones sobre narcopistoleros coinciden con baladas sobre los guerrilleros en las montañas. Wald viaja a la Ciudad de México para encontrarse con el juglar viajero de la rebeli?n zapatista, y continúa hasta Cuernavaca para encontrarse con Teodoro Bello, el genio iletrado que se ha convertido en el compositor de mayor éxito en la historia de México. Discursivo, vívido y perspicaz, Narcocorridos descubre una tradición musical llena de vitalidad a la vez que muestra de manera fascinante el lugar del tr´fico de drogas en la cultura mexicana.

What Is This Thing Called Jazz? by Eric Porter

    What Is This Thing Called Jazz? by Eric Porter
    Undermining the historic tradition that most jazz criticism involves white writers studying black musicians, the jazz discourse presented here regards musicians addressing their own artistic output. Jazz greats Wynton Marsalis, Louis Armstrong, Marion Brown, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, and Archie Shepp are among the critics whose ideas are explored.
