Nana de esta pequeña era / This little era lullaby

By Audiotext, Instalación, Sound art

“Nana de esta pequeña era / This little era lullaby” is an audiotext produced in 2019 from a rewriting of the lyrics and music of Lorca & La Argentinita’s 1931 recording of the popular “Nana de Sevilla”. Lullabies tend to name a monster (el coco) or a terrifying danger to warn babies to protect themselves. When the listener begins to drift into sleep, the singer progressively omits words until the song disappears. The ideal lullaby, Lorca said, would be the one built with only two notes. This lullaby for a deeply damaged world was created in the context of the project “Cancionero de la guerra social contemporánea / Songs for the contemporary social war” (Pedro G. Romero based on Guy Debord). (Headphones recommended).

“Nana de esta pequeña era / This little era lullaby” es un audiotexto producido en 2019 sobre una reescritura de la letra y la música de la canción popular “Nana de Sevilla” grabada por Lorca y La Argentinita en 1931. Las nanas suelen usar el nombre de un monstruo (el coco) o un peligro terrorífico para advertir a los bebés de que se protejan. Cuando quien escucha comienza a sumergirse en el sueño, quien canta va progresivamente omitiendo las palabras hasta que la canción desaparece. La nana ideal, dijo Lorca, sería aquella construida con sólo dos notas. Hicimos esta nana para un mundo profundamente dañado en el marco del proyecto  “Cancionero de la guerra social contemporánea / Songs for the contemporary social war” (Pedro G Romero basado en Guy Debord). (Escucha con auriculares recomendada).

Nana de esta pequeña era  // This little era lullaby // 

María Salgado y Fran MM Cabeza de Vaca, 2019

After tracing Debord’s “Nana de la Zarzuela” (Zarzuela Lullaby), a 1981 remake of Lorca & La Argentinita’s 1931 recording of the popular  “Nana de Sevilla” (Seville Lullaby), we brought to our present a lullaby for a deeply damaged sociopolitical context. Lullabies tend to name a monster (el coco) or a terrifyng danger to warn babies to protect themselves. When the listener begins to drift into sleep, the singer progressively omits words until the song dissapears. The ideal lullaby, Lorca said, would be the one built with only two notes.

In the late 1970s, Guy Debord made frequent trips around the Iberian Peninsula. In Spain and France, with Miguel Amorós and Jaime Semprún, he was in contact with the Autonomist movement, under names such as Los Incontrolados and Unos Iconoclasistas. It was in this context that he decided to put together a songbook of what he euphemistically described as the ‘Spanish neo-democracy’. Needless to say, Debord was thinking of the songs of the civil war he sang by heart, of the popular songs compiled by Federico García Lorca and sung by La Argentinita, and of his relationship with the left-wing exiled Spanish, Latin American and European singer-songwriters living in Paris. In 1968, Debord had already made a version of the popular song ‘¡Ay Carmela!’, in French, adapting it to reflect the Stalinist repression of the CNT and POUM on the streets of Barcelona in May 1937. Debord published his first compilation in a booklet entitled Canciones de la Guerra Social Contemporánea (Songs of the Contemporary Social War) in 1981, attributing authorship to ‘Unos Iconoclastas’. He also tried to organise an initial recording in support of the members of the Autonomist groups imprisoned in Segovia, with Mara Jerez and her ‘ flamenco boys’ and a combo in the spirit of Paco Ibañez. But neither the underground Automonist organisations nor Mara Jerez embraced the idea. Debord explored the utopian idea of Spanish or Iberian identity, and what he had at some stage called the ‘new Babylonians’: Roma, flamenco artists, anarchists, exiles and workers, singing their defeats.

Canciones de la Guerra Social Contemporánea (Songs of the Contemporary Social War) is a project by Pedro G. Romero, who has been endeavouring to reconstruct and put into circulation the songbook assembled by Debord under that title. Twenty-seven songs are presented in different ways – in compilations, concerts, performative presentations and grouped together with informational material. Aside from the artists present in Bergen, artists contributing to the project include: Kiko Veneno, Maria Arnal, Christina Rosenvinge, Lorena Álvarez, Maialem Lujambo, Rocio Márquez and Rosalia.

JINETE ÚLTIMO REINO FRAG.2

María Salgado + Fran MM Cabeza de Vaca

Este es el segundo de los tres fragmentos que componen la zona de investigación audiotextual alrededor de la desobediencia subjetiva, del deseo, la represión y la norma, titulada Jinete Último Reino, iniciada por María Salgado y Fran MM Cabeza de Vaca en enero de 2017. Si Frag. 3abordaba la noche como momento de liberación y desvío, lucha política y hedonismo, y en cierta medida, la juventud; Frag. 2 aborda el tramo de alfabetización: el tramo de alfabetización en el que el cuerpo de la infancia es normalizado hasta la retención de su color (o género) en una imagen más o menos fija. ¿De dónde viene esta violencia? ¿A dónde va? ¿Qué de la diferencia del cuerpo resiste?
