Sinopsis del Libro

Libro William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll

William S. Burroughs's fiction and essays are legendary, but his influence on music's counterculture has been less well documented—until now. Examining how one of America's most controversial literary figures altered the destinies of many notable and varied musicians, William S. Burroughs and the Cult of Rock 'n' Roll reveals the transformations in music history that can be traced to Burroughs. A heroin addict and a gay man, Burroughs rose to notoriety outside the conventional literary world; his masterpiece, Naked Lunch, was banned on the grounds of obscenity, but its nonlinear structure was just as daring as its content. Casey Rae brings to life Burroughs's parallel rise to fame among daring musicians of the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, when it became a rite of passage to hang out with the author or to experiment with his cut-up techniques for producing revolutionary lyrics (as the Beatles and Radiohead did). Whether they tell of him exploring the occult with David Bowie, providing Lou Reed with gritty depictions of street life, or counseling Patti Smith about coping with fame, the stories of Burroughs's backstage impact will transform the way you see America's cultural revolution—and the way you hear its music.

El amor brujo

Libro El amor brujo

Although influenced by the impressionism of Debussy, Dukas, and Ravel, Manuel de Falla (1876–1946) remained distinctively Spanish, with roots that drew upon both Andalusian folk music and his country's classical traditions. With these two popular ballets, El Amor Brujo (Love, the Magician) and El Sombrero de Tres Picos (The Three-Cornered Hat), he brought the world's attention to the music of Spain. In El Amor Brujo, a gypsy lass is haunted by the ghost of a former swain until her new lover devises a plan to entice the spirit away. Each of the ballet's scenes evokes a different mood that is ...

La máquina de la salsa. Tránsitos del sabor

Libro La máquina de la salsa. Tránsitos del sabor

Más que un diálogo, Quintero Herencia propone, en este libro escrito de oído, un encuentro con la salsa, con el saber de su sabor y con el sabor de su saber. Despojado del ceremonial (sociológico, etnográfico o antropológico) que legitima y autoriza, La máquina de la salsa se abre a las líneas de fuga del género que lo convoca, invadido por la plenitud de su sabrosura, sin sustraerse de los peligros de su delirio. Cómplice, juez y parte, esta descarga descomunal regresa a la raíz poética de la mejor tradición del ensayo, esa que da fe del espectáculo innombrable del pensar....
