From its origins in the late nineties in Puerto Rico, reggaeton quickly expanded overseas and became widely popular on the peninsular context.

This reception has suffered a dramatic turn in the last decade. In my paper I will explore the reception of reggaeton and Caribbean music in Spain during the XXIst century. This paper does not aim to analyse the songs in detail, but to understand Serrat’s trajectory as a text in itself, a piece of Cultural History that helps us to understand the Cultural development of Spain in the 70s, and Serrat’s career as an example of positioning as a public intellectual in the Gramscian sense. I will argue that the status of Serrat as a symbol stems from these particular months, in which he faced Francoist censorship and assumed a resistant imagery as his. The aim of this paper is to explore the ways in which the work and figure of Joan Manuel Serrat acquired political connotations by focusing on a specific period in his career: the 14 months that span between his rejection to sing “La, la la” entirely in Spanish in the Eurovision Song Contest (March 1968) to the release of the seminal Dedicado a Antonio Machado, poeta LP in May 1969.

Place: Falmouth, Massachusetts, Summer 2020įalmouth Art Center, 2021 Blue Dot Exhibit Inspiration: I saw the Autumn lights at Bristol Beach (see the photo), at the beach that day when I was painting Caminante inspired by Machado (“All passes and all remain, but our task is to pass by, to pass by making roads, roads through the sea”) XLIV: Todo pasa y todo queda pero lo nuestro es pasar, pasar haciendo caminos, caminos sobre la mar. Caminante, no hay camino, sino estelas en la mar. Al andar se hace camino, y al volver la vista atrás se ve la senda que nunca se ha de volver a pisar. XXIX: Caminante, son tus huellas el camino, y nada más caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. IV: Nuestras horas son minutos cuando esperamos saber, y siglos cuando sabemos lo que se puede aprender. Me gusta verlos pintarse de sol y grana, volar bajo el cielo azul, temblar súbitamente y quebrarse. I: Nunca perseguí la gloria, ni dejar en la memoria de los hombres mi canción yo amo los mundos sutiles, ingrávidos y gentiles como pompas de jabón. Wanderer, there is no road- Only wakes on the sea… All passes and all remain, but our task is to pass by, to pass by making roads, roads through the sea.

Walking you make the road, and turning to look behind you see the path you never again will step upon. Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking. Caminante no hay camino, sino estelas en la mar… Todo pasa y todo queda, pero lo nuestro es pasar, pasar haciendo caminos, caminos sobre la mar.” “Caminante, son tus huellas el camino, y nada más caminante, no hay camino, se hace camino al andar. Caminante (Wanderer): Inspired by Antonio Machado’s poem Proverbs and Song-Verses (Proverbios y cantares XXIX) and an Autumn sunset at Bristol Beach, Massachusetts.
