Elena Casoli: "El Cimarrón", una storia di libertà

from Jukebox 900 · host RSI - Radiotelevisione svizzera

Nel 1963 l'etnologo cubano Miguel Barnet incontra Esteban Montejo, un uomo di 104 anni: "uno schiavo fuggiasco, un cimarrón... in quel primo incontro parlammo molto". Da questo incontro nasce e viene pubblicato nel 1966 il libro “Autobiografia di uno schiavo”, sulla sua vita alla ricerca della libertà dalla schiavitù. Nel 1968 lo scrittore Hans Magnus Enzensberger e il compositore Hans Werner Henze si recano a Cuba e incontrano Miguel Barnet. Nasce così El Cimarrón, un nuovo lavoro del compositore per voce maschile, flauto, chitarra e percussioni, che resterà uno dei lavori più particolari della storia musicale europea del XX secolo. Uno straordinario racconto in musica della vicenda di Esteban Montejo.In questa puntata di “Juke Box 900”, la chitarrista milanese Elena Casoli, ci accompagna alla guida dell’ascolto di questa opera.

The VGM Jukebox VGM Jukebox The VGM Jukebox is a place to share and talk about Video Game Music. The True Tunes Podcast John J. Thompson / True Tunes Music industry veteran, author, artist, and producer John J. Thompson hosts conversations with a diverse panel of artists, songwriters, producers, and industry innovators who seek the deeper resonances in music and culture. Classic and contemporary music is explored for signs of life, light, and beauty on the ”Jukebox” feature as well. Knowing that all music is spiritual, can we sing along with the good, the true, and the beautiful in ways that make us better neighbors, more compelling artists, and richer reflectors of the light by which we live and move and have our being? Let’s try. Juke In The Back Matt The Cat At the end of the Second World War, economics forced the big bands to trim their once great size and thus, the Jump Blues combo was born. Between 1946-1954, rhythm and blues laid the tracks for what was to become Rock n’ Roll. So how come, 75 years later, this vibrant and influential music is still so unknown to so many? Matt The Cat is going to change that with the radio program, “Juke In The Back.” These were the records that you couldn’t hear on the jukebox in the front of the establishment. To hear all this great 1950s rhythm & blues, you had to go to “Juke In The Back.”
