Initially branching out of the European contradance tradition, the
danzon first emerged as a distinct form of music and dance among
black performers in nineteenth-century Cuba. By the early
twentieth-century, it had exploded in popularity throughout the
Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean basin. A fundamentally hybrid music
and dance complex, it reflects the fusion of European and African
elements and had a strong influence on the development of later
Latin dance traditions as well as early jazz in New Orleans.
Danzon: Circum-Caribbean Dialogues in Music and Dance studies the
emergence, hemisphere-wide influence, and historical and
contemporary significance of this music and dance phenomenon.
Co-authors Alejandro L. Madrid and Robin D. Moore take an
ethnomusicological, historical, and critical approach to the
processes of appropriation of the danzon in new contexts, its
changing meanings over time, and its relationship to other musical
forms. Delving into its long history of controversial
popularization, stylistic development, glorification, decay, and
rebirth in a continuous transnational dialogue between Cuba and
Mexico as well as New Orleans, the authors explore the production,
consumption, and transformation of this Afro-diasporic performance
complex in relation to global and local ideological discourses. By
focusing on interactions across this entire region as well as
specific local scenes, Madrid and Moore underscore the extent of
cultural movement and exchange within the Americas during the late
nineteenth and early twentieth-centuries, and are thereby able to
analyze the danzon, the dance scenes it has generated, and the
various discourses of identification surrounding it as elements in
broader regional processes. Danzon is a significant addition to the
literature on Latin American music, dance, and expressive culture;
it is essential reading for scholars, students, and fans of this
music alike."
