Spoon Radio’s 5th Music Broadcast, “Portuguese Fado”

How are you?

 

I uploaded my 5th music broadcast in “Spoon Radio.” I am broadcasting music in the order of the lectures I conducted at the “ACJ Music Academy,” which introduced various genres of music that I previously taught.

 

The theme of this week’s 5th broadcast is “Portuguese Fado”, a song that embodies “saudade,” a typical Portuguese nostalgia similar to the “han” of Korea or the “blues” of Black people, such as the longing songs sung by men who left their hometowns for the sea and the sorrow of women who sent their loved ones away to the ocean.

 

In this broadcast, I introduce Portugal, the background of fado; the definition and components of fado; the types of fado; and notable fado singers and their songs, including Amalia Rodrigues, known as the “Queen of fado.”

3rd Music Broadcast, “Cuban Music”, in “Spoon Radio”

How are you?

Yesterday, I uploaded my third music broadcast as a recording in “Spoon Radio” (DJ name: “스티브 J”). I am broadcasting music in the order of the lectures I conducted at the “ACJ Music Academy,” which introduced various genres of music that I previously taught.

The theme of this week’s third broadcast is “Cuban Music” among the world music genres. Cuban music, which has been greatly influenced by West African music and European music, mainly from Spain, is considered the richest and most influential music in the world. It has also influenced music genres and styles globally, including Latin America, the Caribbean, West Africa, and Europe.

In this broadcast, I introduced Cuban music by various genres, such as Cha-Cha-Cha, Son, and Guaracha, including representative songs of each genre. You can listen to my broadcast by clicking the link below. I would appreciate it if you could leave a comment after listening.

Three new books are released from “J Books & Media”

How are you?

 

The three new books, “In Search of World-Famous Artists” series, published by J Books & Media have started selling at J Art, Kyobo Bookstore, Aladin, and Yes24.

 

The “In Search of World-Famous Artists” is one of the contents that I created and lectured while managing a culture & art space in Seoul, South Korea. It is a series of contents that introduced legendary figures who made historical marks in various culture and art fields besides the art, music, and film that I mainly wrote about. The culture and art fields introduced in the three new books are fashion, ballet, and modern dance.

 

The selected figures in the fashion field are “Coco Chanel” and “Elsa Schiaparelli.” Even those who do not know the fashion field will know the name of Coco Chanel, a French fashion designer, through the Chanel brand. Elsa Schiaparelli, a fashion designer from Italy who worked in Paris, was Coco Chanel's strongest rival at the time, but she is not well known to public. The reason for writing this book is to introduce the two legendary female fashion designers equally without bias, and especially to introduce Elsa Schiaparelli, who is not well known to public.

 

The selected figure in the ballet field is "Margot Fonteyn." Margot Fonteyn, a legendary dancer in the ballet field, is a British ballerina who spent her entire career as a dancer at the Royal Ballet and was appointed as the Prima ballerina assoluta of the ballet company by Queen Elizabeth II. She was an iconic figure in the British ballet, and her dance partnership with Rudolf Nureyev at the end of her career became a legend in the ballet field. This book covers Margot Fonteyn’s life and various stories, and introduces ballet terms necessary for understanding ballet.

 

The selected figure in the field of modern dance is “Isadora Duncan.” Isadora Duncan, known as the “Mother of Modern Dance,” was an American choreographer, teacher, revolutionary, and innovator who liberated dance from the constraints of ballet at the time, threw away slippers and corsets, and combined lively music with simple, natural movements. This book covers Isadora Duncan’s life and various stories, and introduces modern dance terms necessary for understanding modern dance.
