[audiobook] Death of a Salesman: Revised Edition (Critical Library; Viking) by Arthur Miller at Arts-Photography

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 citys 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 norte?a; banda; and grupera traditions. The book is also among the first to offer detailed accounts of Nor-tec musics composition process.
