Original Title:
Μουσική και ντοκιμαντέρ στην παγκόσμια αγορά: Μια (συγ)κριτική προσέγγιση των ταινιών Buena Vista Social Club (1999) και Café de los Maestros (2008)
Translated title:
Music and documentary in the global market: A critical/comparative approach of the films Buena Vista Social Club (1999) and Café de los Maestros (2008)
Summary:
The music documentaries Buena Vista Social Club (1999) and Cafe de los Maestros (2008), through a critical/comparative approach, become the vehicle to explore the way in which commercialization, in the context of world capitalism, influences the construction of visual representations of musical cultures and identities. The two films are visually and acoustically discussed and, among other things, issues of nostalgia, folklorization, authenticity and western domination are raised.
