salsa To speak of the phenomenon as the basis of public opinion, must take into account the origin and the reason for the lifting of the voices against oppression.
The sauce comes after Fidel Castro and "bearded" rise to power in Cuba, according to this and the poor international relations he had with the rest of the world, especially with the United States significantly affected trade music.
By 1972, Son Cubano was being neglected, however, was by a group of young immigrants that this phenomenon really was important for the world. These characters had left Puerto Rico for economic reasons settled in New York, and called themselves "New Yorkers."
In New York, also presented problems affecting the identity of the Latin American peoples, as in the seventies, there were other musical styles that were being imposed with force. The Beatles, Twist and Rock and Roll, Fashion and marked the new musical style.
But the fate of Salsa changed the ideas of a man, Izzy Sanabria realized it was necessary to unite into one group different tropical rhythms of Cuban music came, therefore met under the name "Salsa" with rhythms like mambo, chachacha and Jazz. So met several artists who were determined to deliver the best of each to take Latin music forward. Musical group that would face the world we would know later as the Fania in the early group was composed by Willie Colon, Larry Harlow, Johnny Pacheco, Roberto Roena and Bobby Valentin, shortly after the group joined Hector Lavoe, Celia Cruz and Cheo Feliciano.
Thus we have the reaction that generated this musical innovation was mainly in the American world but with repercussions throughout Latin America. The main criticisms were made by these artists who had spent a considerable amount of time in the dark streets of New York. Thus arose with songs like Pedro Navaja, Johnny Vermin and plastics, which showed the public what was really going on inside the United States.
However, this fact originated from the voices that were silent in the poorest parts of Cuba before the revolution, as in the sauce were a society in which there were no social classes, the sauce came to where they wanted , there were no restrictions. Thus
as you can define a more complex problem in which the sauce was involved, many Cuban artists were affected by the restriction that occurred on the island after 1959, because the revolution will affect your comfort as the scheme established does not allow social privileges, seeking social equality and freedom for all.
Accordingly we can define a general problem from a particular event: the origin of the sauce and the artists who saw the need to convey what they were feeling a few through the music, bringing it to a higher level where the voice of a few could provide a solution to a problem that affects a whole society.
Most of these voices were raised away from their hometowns, many Puerto Rican artists, Cuba, among others, had to migrate to America, because from there they would have a wider distribution.
This phenomenon can be understood from two different perspectives. Firstly we can see that especially in Central and South America and the Caribbean, oppression by the dominant party has been more evident than in other continents like North America. Second, and directly related to the above may raise the idea that the oppressed majority decide to seek a more "freedom" in this case the United States.
But then how crucial is the relationship of this world power in the development of third world countries, specifically in the arts and more specifically in the case of Salsa.
From this point of view, several authors have put into the task of explanation about this problem, it also challenged the right of ownership, "... thereafter the process would have no choice but to rely on a model U.S. domain which strongly confirms the conclusion of the first half of the twentieth century ... "(1).
According to Sergio Ramirez, who puts into question the participation of the United States, no only in the political development of Latin countries, but also based, the economic partition it has on them, proportionally affects cultural production, "... the cultural subject matter is not exercised outside, but then becomes economic and political apparatus that acquires its most effective tool in the design of regional integration "(2).
therefore can understand more the complexity of the issue of salsa artists who decided to put an end to these sudden crashes, not only by their States of origin, but also by the State was using its products to make a profit cultural. Perhaps for this reason songs like "The Emigrant", written by Larry Harlow in principle, expressed his disagreement with the limited job opportunities that exist in Cuba, "... still my country so rich I had to go to other lands ... I'll get Money pa 'they can be maintained "(3).
This shows exactly what the situation was living, how difficult were the circumstances and also the need to travel to the United States. These letters show that they were living in difficult situations that were affecting society of Latinos who sought the opportunity to shout what was happening.
Thus
out of nowhere these salseros who had also fled their land and were able to make art, a form of protest against everything that oppressed them. Hector Lavoe
makes an excellent criticism with his song "Johnny Vermin", that very skill, showed a side of Latin society excluded, a society that was slowly consumed in corruption, crime and vandalism. This song is a clear example of the social situation in which these artists were, and also shared millions of people. When you begin taking these creations of the neighborhood and the suburbs, the political majority was that they were really putting pressure on the normal order of the state. On this
Leopoldo Munera is quite radical, in their theories are, well you can study this phenomenon, Communitarianism emphasizes mainly the integration of a large group of individuals seeking to express their opinions publicly, of this way we obtain collective benefits that are beyond a particular individual and also from state control. "It puts the emphasis on the emergence of collective spaces and non-state actors, from civil society that produced the public, together with the State or in parallel to this" (4). Based on
Múnera can understand the behavior of this group of artists who operate in parallel with the state, but always trying to put over any organization prior to their situation. Ie as citizens from proposing new ideas that might meet their social deficits and route their ideals into a more public sphere that can generate views.
In this sense, this view would be generated by a public that is okay with the song or the artist, being the principal actors, which would base further made public. On the other hand we found that most of these audiences are individuals who really are affected in equal or greater extent by the oppressions, the privatization of cultural property or the simple fact of being marginalized in a society that is seemingly perfect.
"... Hey latino, hey brother, hey friend, never sell your destination for gold or comfort. Never rest because we need to give enough, we all go forward to complete together with the ignorance that brings us bewitched with imported models are not the solution "(5). This is a song that represents well the challenges of internationalization of the Latin society, Rubén Blades makes an excellent understanding of what is happening and while generating a content review. However
but try to keep a positive attitude towards political decontrol emerge at this time, it is also necessary to note that in the public sphere that is taking this idea, other factors intervene directly, as is speaking emphatically from a series of international policies that affect their integrity and Hispanic origin, this factor is none other than an institution embodied in the state, which will respond to this warning is being done on the public and to the public.
From this point of view and opinion is being generated, is opening a public setting where they are no longer leaders of different states that give the last word, but, it is enjoying full freedom of expression and opinion. This kind of contributions are framed from a collective perspective, because thanks to the artistic voice of Ruben Blades, many can bring these feelings to the public sphere where we are supposed to involve all.
is this same public sphere which Habermas has proposed. We can say that if there can be a public sphere is the stage for an open discussion, but it must be a public sphere where they interact directly related, in this specific case, the artists decided Use the sauce as a means of spreading ideas and criticisms, the state as consolidator of social organization and social actors in a specific way are in agreement or disagreement with these measures.
The public sphere, a truism that is embodied in the music industry and its impact on society, this generation as the basis of opinion, however for this public sphere to exist there must be a private institution like State, to mark a contrast and thus generated opinion.
Therefore, if these artists were not victims of a lack of organization of government, if they had not been affected by external policies that disrupted the property rights they had on their songs and rhythms, and if they had not felt oppressed by their leaders, they never would have created a "Johnny Vermin" or "Pedro Navaja", maybe not exist the "Assassins" by Ruben Blades and very likely the "Emigrant" by Larry Harlow would never have had to emigrate to other lands.
From the above it can sustain a clear and concise, which starts from the very idea of \u200b\u200bchange, and in addition to continued expression of dissatisfaction that will exist in societies.
The public sphere is always oriented in this particular case Latin Americans who have been excluded, and they have seen in the Salsa the best way to prevent these changes, to monitor the factors that allow the variation of the ideal structure of what should be the rule, a monitoring system that allows more depth give a clear explanation a balance between what is and what it should be. From the view of these artists, which define the ideal state, from a public building.
"But ladies and gentlemen, in the middle of plastic are also the faces of hope faces are proud to work for a united Latin America and a future of hope and freedom. You see the faces of work and sweat of people of flesh and blood, not sold, people working, looking for new way proud of their heritage and of being Latino in a united race, which Bolívar dreamed "(6).
