Monday 5/4 Draft Questions- Emily Eckey

1. In “Mixing in the Kitchen: "Entre Mujeres" Feminine Translocal Composition Actions,” Martha Gonzalez writes that the presence of women is seen and felt in every aspect of fandango (Gonzalez 70). Inspired by this practice, Gonzalez discusses how she initiated Entre Mujeres: Translocal Feminine Composition. What were her goals for this project?

2. How does Entre Mujeres foster music engagement that actively accommodates musician mothers and their multiple involvements and relationships?

3. How do the lyrics and music of Chocolate by Maya Jupiter embody the ideas presented in the Entre Mujeres project?

4. In “Caminos y Canciones en Los Angeles, CA,” Martha Gonzalez writes, “Fandango, and particularly the convivencia inherent in the practice, incites dialogue in its constituents, which can lead to greater analysis of music in society and one’s role in it” (Gonzalez 272). What are some examples of the fandango practice and the embodiment of the practice as methods used to instigate dialogue and critical consciousness?
