Música Rebelde, Central America’s Popular Movement Music 70s-80s
CASA, together with the Performance Art Museum, presents Música Rebelde, Central America’s Popular Movement Music, an analog mixed media listening series of the music and art of Central America’s 1970-80s revolutions. The listening sessions will highlight selected vinyl and tape albums from various social conscious music groups of Nicaragua and El Salvador.
This movement included several organized groups of professional and amateur musicians, many exiled and persecuted. Their courageous music amplified the voice of the oppressed, gave strength to fight against imperialism, and acted as a call for international solidarity; delivering powerful messages that still resonate in today’s popular struggle.
On two separate Fridays, Oct 9th (Nicaragua) and Oct 16th (El Salvador), from 12-2pm at the Performance Art Museum, CASA welcomes you to enter the living room of the people’s sounds. Join us for a special program of two listening sessions with live performances by Lolo Cutumay (of Cutumay Camones, Los Jornaleros del Norte), Francesco Cañas (Los Jornaleros del Norte) and Jacqueline Munguia (family collection donor of CASA) in a recreated living room experience. Featuring accompanying short films by Jeny Amaya and Kari Ramirez reflecting the process behind CASA and the intimate yearning of memory work.
