Musicians and instruments were popular subjects for
ancient artists.
Were their depictions drawn from the imagination or do they
reflect
how music was actually played in antiquity?
Find out by joining Musicántica in this live demonstration of
musical
instruments depicted in works of art in the Museum's
collection.
Explore the ways in which the aulos (reed flute), krotalas
(castanets),
and kithara (framed harp) might have been played and learn
about
the kinds of sound they made. Discover what materials were
used
to create these instruments, and how they're connected to
modern Mediterranean folk instruments.

The Renegade Music of Southern Italy*
"Italy was born in blood. Also the United
States were born in blood. Most countries are born in
blood.
Each one of us is born in his or her own mother's blood.
But then we are cleaned, milked, cuddled, and bred...
we become part of the family. But the South was born in
blood 151 years ago and never became part of the family"
Pino Aprile, author of the book TERRONI

Dear Friends,
We welcome all of you to our first
MUSICāNTICA Newsletter, an appointment containing news about
our activities, our music,
our directions, our contributions,
and our experiences. This month we celebrate our 15th year of
activity dedicated to the transmission
and translation of the Italian oral tradition in America. In
terms of longevity we begin to feel akin to those great bands
of the past such as
the Duke Ellington or Count Basie orchestras who were together
for decades, and we are really pleased that we kept things
going along
all these years.
We are entering a new phase of our
musical marriage and as it happens in any marriage, we
experienced a time of relaxation that has
prompted us to rethink about MUSICāNTICAs purposes, goals,
artistic direction, and the acceptance of new musical
challenges.
We are pleased to announce that we will continue to find ways
to bring to you more music of the oral tradition of our
Italian south but that
at the same time our shows will be a bit more experimental as
well as original. Currently, we have in store both new and
revisited
compositions that we are looking forward to present to you in
the months ahead in our live concerts as well as in our long
due new recording.
The year 2009 has seen us perform and
give workshops and seminars at several good events. We played
at LACMAs Family Festivals
and we returned to the World Music Concert Series at the Santa
Fe Spring Public Library. We played at Cal Poly Pomona for the
Music Faculty Concert Series, at the Sunshine Brooks Theater
in Oceanside for their Public Library World Music Series, and
we returned
to the Getty Villa for their bi-annual Family Life Concert
Series. We played the World Music Concert Series at San Diego
State University
and we played in Las Vegas for the first time in occasion of
the jointed Festival of Italian Folk Music and Dance and the
Conference of the
Italian Folk Art Federation of America (IFAFA), to which
program we contributed with four workshops. One of these was
about teaching
how to play the jaws harp, an interesting addition to our
existing workshops. As a corollary to this event twenty three
musical instruments
from our respective collections were put on display for the
whole month of October at the Sahara West Library. We are
proud also to
announce that an article we co-wrote entitled Simple Does Not
Mean Easy: Oral Traditional Values, Music, and the MUSICāNTICA
Experience on oral history, peasant culture and the
experience of MUSICāNTICA has been published during the month
of November
as part of the volume, Oral History, Oral Culture and
Italian Americans (Selected Essays from the 2005
conference of the American
Italian Historical Association, "Speaking Memory: Oral
History, Oral Culture and Italians in America). You will
notice that MUSICāNTICA
is on the front cover! Anyone interested in Italian and
Italian American culture should check this publication. 2009
has seen also our involvement
with several Los Angeles elementary schools working for the
Music Center of Los Angeles, Educational Division for the
fifth year in a row.
Plans for the future include, aside from
the creation of the above-mentioned new music material, the
recording project, concert and workshop
activity, our involvement as music collaborators with the
Watts Tower Projects. Created by our friend and mentor Dr.
Luisa Del Giudice
who came with the idea of a multimedia experiment with the
goal to drastically increase the cultural and social value and
visibility of the
Watts Towers and what they represent for the ethnic
communities of the city of Watts, for Los Angeles as a whole,
and for the Italian
community as well. In fact, the towers were built by Italian
artist Sabato Simon Rodia with whom we feel sharing great
affinity because
he too was born into the southern Italian peasant culture we
love and sing and also for the way he conceived art as a
service and use for
the community. We would like to communicate to all of you that
we have new email addresses that you can use to contact us.
They are
musicantica@musicantica.org, then
roberto@musicantica.org and, enzo@musicantica.org.
Musically,
MUSICāNTICA
