Monday 5/4 Draft Questions - Carter Rowell
1. In "Mixing in the Kitchen," Gonzalez states that one of the goals of Entres Mujeres is to produce "a musical archive that reflects women's experience and worldviews" (Gonzales 5). How does merging these pieces of music into a single archive change the impact that the music can have? What is the difference between listening to one piece of music versus being presented with such an archive?
2. In the Entre Mujeres Video Overview, a member of the group discuss how the purpose of the organization is to "write songs about [the member's] own experiences" and tell stories. Why do you think there was a focus on telling stories through music? How does music allow stories to have greater impact than just regular speech?
3. In "Caminos y Canciones," Gonzalez states that "We buy or we sell music. I believe we must 'grow our own' from time to time" (Gonzalez 27). What do you think it means to grow one's own music? Does it mean the same thing as writing one's own music?
4. In "Sounding Out Tarima Temporalities," Viveros Avendaños states that she does not play music that captures "the technicality of sound of rhythm," but instead she "learned to dance and play music in informal settings" (Viveros Avendaños 3). How do these two different approaches to music differ and what are the benefits of both?
