Musicological study of Villa-Lobos reflects this…

    On the evening of March 31, 1948, fighting words rang out from the podium at New York's Hotel Astor. Some 900 guests had assembled to hear various speakers hold forth on what one called the “tyrannous and murderous regime” of the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, the victor in the Spanish Civil War (1936–39).1 All present knew that many thousands of Spaniards once allied with the Second Spanish Republic (the left-leaning government Franco had to…

    Remember the Maine! To hell with Spain! These words, which rang throughout the United States during the spring of 1898, reflected the brash mood of a nation on the threshold of global power. Eager to flex its muscle around the world, the United States was especially inclined to view Latin America as a training ground for the principles of Manifest Destiny. To entrepreneurs, the region promised natural resources and cheap labor, to politicians, po…
