La identidad en la música popular española

Thu 6 - Sun 9 Mar
Salamanca

Congreso de la SIBE - Sociedad de Etnomusicología

Four days in Salamanca for the Spanish Ethnomusicological Society's conference. A fascinating event which allowed me to indulge two of my passions simultaneously. Lots of interesting stuff which I'll attempt to keep up with here over the coming days. Here's a version of the presentation I used for my comunicación, complete with music clips, which functions more or less as the original Keynote I used at the conference.

I'll discuss elsewhere the technical issues involved in a) preparing the original presentation and b) converting it to display and download here. Labyrinthine.

Also up now are:

• Mayalde: slideshow from their concert with music clips, and photos
• Javier Paxariño: jam session at the Savor - slideshow with recording, photos
• photos of Salamanca and the SIBE Conference
  

I'd originally prepared my contribution in English, but when I got there I found that, although the conference was billed as a joint event with a UK group and an international association, the English-speaking contingent was much smaller than anticipated, so I rewrote the presentation and delivered it en español.

There wasn't much football, which was disappointing ;-) - all I managed was a chat with a waiter - though I did read in the local paper about a youth arrangement UD Salamanca have with Arsenal. It was a music conference, I suppose.
