Hola todxs!

Para lxs amantes de la salsa, y lxs que aun no la conocen, y que quieran escuchar una buena selección de esta música, dejo aquí estos QR donde podrán encontrar el playlist de @adrianishungry para la edición 08 del magazín SSyS y la playlist elaborada por @DianaSiguaraya para la presentación/lanzamiento del Sursystem 08 en Español el Viernes 9 de Febrero del 2024 en Cali, Colombia en el teatrino del Museo de Arte Moderno la Tertulia. Que la disfruten y se la bailen!

Hello everyone! In the latest edition of Sursystem 08 magazine, we explore the Sound Map of Salsa Music in NYC. In this edition, you'll not only read about the history and changes in Afro-Latino Caribbean music as it evolved into salsa, but you can also listen to the music and appreciate the context through the lyrics. For salsa enthusiasts and those new to this music genre, I'd like to share QR codes for two playlists. The first playlist is curated by @adrianishungry for the 08 edition of SSyS magazine, and the second playlist is created by @DianaSiguaraya for the presentation/launch of Sursystem 08 in Spanish on Friday, February 9, 2024, in Cali, Colombia at the Museo de Arte Moderno la Tertulia. Enjoy it and dance to it!

Que disfruren!

Saturday, 20 April: Sound Map of Salsa Music in NYC, lecture. In English.
Marcelo Arroyave and Adrian Patino/Colombia
 

In this lecture, you will explore the origins of salsa music in the South Bronx through its sound and its connection to the territory. You will discover the people who created the new genre from the traditional Latin music brought to NYC by the Caribbean immigrants who settled in the Bronx from 1940 to 1980. The participants in the lecture will receive Sursystem Magazine 08, where they can read, listen to music, and follow the tour of the places where salsa was forged on the map. By the end of the lecture, you will have a general idea of how Salsa music emerged and how the Afro-Caribbean immigration added a new musical culture to NYC.

Conferencia: Mapa Sonoro de la Música Salsa en Nueva York. En Español: Sunday, April 21: Conferencia + Tour: Mapa Sonoro de la Música Salsa en Nueva York. En Español. Lecture Time: 1:00PM – 2:30 PM. Tour time: around 1:30 minutes + the commute.

La lectura se realizará en español como un homenaje a todxs lxs inmigrantes afrocaribeñxs que llegaron a Nueva York en los años cuarenta y que, con su cultura y nostalgia por su tierra, crearon la música Salsa. Los participantes en esta conferencia recibirán el magazín Sursystem 08 en español, y con él podrán seguir la historia del origen de la Salsa en algunos barrios de Nueva York y ubicar los lugares más importantes en el mapa, además de escuchar la música que se hacía en esos sitios. Después de la lectura, los participantes están invitadxs al recorrido guiado que se realizará en el sur del Bronx, donde caminaran por las calles y visitarán algunos de los lugares donde nació este ritmo latino que aún hace vibrar y bailar al mundo entero.

Finally, I will bring La Linterna salsa posters, you can see the designs in this video:

See you there!                                          Marcelo Arroyave, salsa dance lover and the last salsa maniac at the South Bronx!

MAGAZIN SURSYSTEM 08: MAPA SONORO DE LA MÚSICA SALSA EN NUEVA YORK, EDICIÓN ESPAÑOL

 

Después de seis meses de trabajo y espera, por fin esta circulando en Nueva York, la edición número 8 del magazin Sursystem en español. Primero quiero dar las gracias a todxs lxs diseñadorxs e ilustradorxs que se sumaron al llamado, de verdad que el producto final quedo como quedó gracias al aporte de todxs ellxs. Mas abajo dejo un lista con los nombres y la dirección en Instagram. 

Es todo un honor y un privilegio poder publicar este Sursystem en español en Nueva York sobre la música con la que crecí, nunca me hubiera imaginado que a la edad que tengo estaría viviendo en NYC justo en el barrio donde nació la música salsa, así que esta publicación no solo es un homenaje a todxs esos migrantes que llegaron antes que mi y que con su trabajo, constancia e inspiración crearon una cultura que tiene que ver con mi identidad y con mi carácter como latinoamericano, fue todo un orgullo para mi sentarme a investigar, leer y escribir sobre la música salsa, sus lugares y sus protagonistas en el mismo barrio donde todo eso había pasado 60 años atrás. 

Espero que lxs que quieran adquirir el magazin me contacten por medio de Instagram @magazinsursystem mi idea fue siempre distribuir el magazin entre los amantes de la salsa y entre las personas que no conocen nada de esta cultura, y así impedir que su legado desaparezca; una cultura solo desaparece cuando ya nadie la conoce, y el fin de esta edición es hacer que la gente de NYC, latinos y no latinos conozcan un poco de la historia del nacimiento de la salsa.

OUTCOME FROM THE UNIVERSITY OPEN AIR MAGAZINE SSyS 3'R WORKSHOP AT MARCH 07/2020

Just one week before the lockdown in NYC (03/07/20) I made the final session of the Sursystyem 3'R workshop at University Open Air; it was really fun and very creative, the participants finished their interior pages and build their own magazine SSyS 3'R where they included those pages. 

We didn't decorate the cover and the back cover of the magazine that each participant made, due to a lack of time in the workshop, but we spent quality time learning different things about making pages for the magazine and about how to make the magazine with our own hands (DIY), we shared a lot of ideas and were able to know each other. It was a very nice experience just right BP (Before the Pandemic). It is a good memory from the past time to keep in my mind in this difficult moment. 

I want to show to the blog visitors the pictures from the workshop and their outcome; I don't show here pictures of my magazine exterior because I didn't decorate yet it and I don't know if the other participants did.

Many thanks to Gary Hardcastle for facilitating the typewriter machine to the workshop

Enjoy!

Workshop: Memory Re-Used How to Build a Magazine with Reused Paper Using your Memories

The Brooklyn Public Library (New York City) is hosting the University Open Air Winter Semester from February 24 to March 7th, they invited me to participate for the second time since they started to do the University Open Air (UOA) in 2019. 

On this semester I will do a workshop that I developed since I was living in Colombia, it workshop was named for me Sursystem 3R (Reused, Recycle and Rethink), but for this event, I changed its name, now is called: Memory Re-Used, and the goal is that the participants in the workshop bring their old memories from their life in the neighborhood where they are or were living (old pictures, postcard, letters, posters... etc) and create a new page for the content of the magazine with that memories and, on the same time, they learn how to build a magazine with reused paper and reused shoebox, also, they will make the decoration of the cover and the back cover of the magazine using different techniques.

The workshop will be split into two parts, I will leave below the links to the UOA webpage and the links to my workshop.

Also, there will be more classes and lectures through those two weeks, feel free to explore it and I hope you can participate in this fantastic idea from the Brooklyn Public Library.

UNIVERSITY OPEN AIR

The last month the Brooklyn Public Library invited me to develop a lecture class and a workshop for their first version of the University Open Air, a project that is trying to show how the immigrants that come to NYC with an academic background are contributing from and with their knowledge into the NYC society and are helping to change the negative idea and the negative image that many people inside the United States has about the immigrants.  

My academic contribution to the University Open Air is a lecture class called Qualitative Research in the Urban Field (Saturday, June 15 at 1:30PM) and a workshop called Graffiti Mutation in a Gentrified Environment: the Case of NYC (Saturday, June 22 at 12PM) both are free to the public and will take place in the Rose Garden at Prospect Park, near to the Brooklyn Library.

I am leaving here the link to the University Open Air webpage where you can search the different courses that they are offering to the public and make the registration to them, plus the links to my lecture class and my workshop.

See you around!
