Monday, May 4 Draft Questions - Noah Krohngold
1. Martha Gonzalez describes the importance of "community-based connections" in cultivating success (Martha Gonzalez Biography). How does the community translate into musical expression and in what ways does community enhance activism?
2. The son is referenced as needing to be "valued and practiced by communities at large" due to the vibrant nature of the art form (Gonzalez). Fandango is a highly collaborative activity that is cherished by many around the western hemisphere but may have lost its luster today. How does unity among these communities promote cultural expression and is it up to the community to hold on to tradition or the families that make up the community to pass traditions to future generations?
3. When describing her return to musical performance, Martha Gonzalez describes her preparation as "muscle memory" and a "family affair" (Gonzalez). Describe the impact that visiting tradition from a young age can have on someone's development into adulthood.
4. According to Martha Gonzalez, "music is transactional and mostly consumed in our society" (Gonzalez). Given the highly commercial state of most art forms today, how does art retain its social activism aspect without sacrificing the livelihoods of the artists involved? What should artists consider when creating for social aspects while also working to survive financially?
