VIVEZA DEFINITION FULL
Meanwhile, you can stream “Amparo” in full below and pre-order over at Bandcamp here. Viveza EP is scheduled for April 2 release. Toada contributed to the 20th edition of XLR8R+ alongside GARZA and Mike Shannon as Blue Fields. Peso Pluma came first, capturing Toada’s downtempo electronic pop sound, and there’s since been another EP, a single, and his debut album, Cambiante, released in late 2019. Toada’s releases began in 2018, all of them through Plūma, his own label set up for his own work. Drawing on musical influences from Portuguese speaking countries such as Angola and Brazil, Toada combines these syncopated rhythms with intricate melodies over five uptempo but pensive tracks. With this in mind, Viveza, meaning “liveliness” in Portuguese, was made with the intention to heal and renew energies for both the artist and listener. Furthermore, we show that the rhythmic differences among Porteño, Italian and L2 Castilian Spanish on the one hand and L1 Castilian Spanish on the other are most adequately captured by the % V/VnPVI plane.Toada, a Berlin-based Portuguese producer, will return to his own Plūma label with Viveza, a new EP.ĭrawing on his personal experience of 2020, in the midst of a pandemic and with the exposed social instability, Toada, real name Valdir da Silva, came to the realisation that by working on his mental health he could find the strength to push for change. The analyses performed on semi-spontaneous data from the four varieties confirm our expectations, thus speaking in favour of McMahon’s transfer hypothesis. We hypothesize that both Porteño and L2 Castilian Spanish pattern with Italian with respect to their rhythmic shape in displaying a greater variability of vocalic intervals (VarcoV, VnPVI) and a higher proportion of vocalic material (% V) than native Castilian Spanish. The goal of the present chapter is to corroborate these findings analyzing semi-spontaneous speech. With this in mind, Viveza, meaning liveliness in Portuguese, was made with the intention to heal and renew energies for both the artist and listener. On the basis of analysis of scripted data, it was shown in earlier work Porteño and L2 Castilian Spanish, produced by Italian natives, pattern with Italian in displaying higher proportion of vocalic material in the speech signal and greater variability of vocalic intervals, in contrast to L1 Castilian Spanish. shape of Porteño prosody is the result of prosodic transfer from L1 Italian to L2 Spanish (McMahon 2004).
Given that migration-induced language contact is necessarily linked to the learning of a foreign language by the immigrant population, it has been argued that the typical. This chapter investigates the speech rhythm of Porteño, the variety of Spanish spoken in Buenos Aires, which is said to be influenced by Italian due to massive streams of immigration from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. Semantic explications are supported with discursive evidence from common sayings, fixed expressions, news articles, tango lyrics and tweets. Finally, I use the Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach to capture and explore the keywords’ meanings in simple, cross-translatable terms. I claim that, besides issues of ethnocentric framing and circularity, viveza is not sufficiently described as an expression of local culture and sociality, and neither vivo nor boludo are appropriately captured as social categories. Then, I study how the three words have been defined in a varied sample of monolingual and bilingual dictionaries. In this paper, I first look at the historical context that saw the emergence of viveza criolla in Buenos Aires, pointing out its link to local criollo culture. However, these translations fail to capture the exact meanings and implied logic that guide Porteños-the residents of Buenos Aires-when they use these words. They have been loosely translated as “native wit and cunning”, “clever, vivacious” and “moron”, respectively. Viveza criolla, vivo and boludo are three interrelated cultural keywords in Porteño Spanish, the variety of Spanish spoken in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
