It is strictly distributed in South America, and within the Amazon River basin, there are endemic species groups. In the present study, cytogenetic and molecular analysis were performed with species of this family, aiming at understanding the evolutionary processes involved in the diversification of these small catfishes, in order to infer their taxonomic status. Some inedited chromosomal characterizations were presented, of the species Amaralia hypsiura, Bunocephalus cf. aloikae, B. amaurus, B. coracoideus, B. aff coracoideus, B. verrucosus and Platystacus cotylephorus. The chromosomal data, with the 5S rDNA mapping and the constitutive heterochromatin distribution, revealed a new sex chromosomes system of the X 1 X 1 X 2 X 2 /X 1 Y 1 X 2 Y 2 type in a B. coracoideus population. The karyotype characterization of P. cotylephorus revealed a second event of XX/XO sex system for Siluriformes. The analysis of a phylogram with four Bunocephalus coracoideus populations, based on one mitogenome region, revealed some clades with genetic diversity, suggesting the existence of well supported Evolutionary Significant Units, building a species complex, under allopatric and sympatric speciation processes. Yet, the chromosomal data allowed noticing a trend on the reduction of the diploid number during the chromosomal evolution of the family, in relation to the ancestral karyotype of the Siluriformes, although keeping a karyotype with most of the chromosomes being two-armed ones. Later on, by means of chromosomal rearrangements of the type pericentric inversions and fission, the diploid number of some species increased and the karyotype morphology changed to single-armed chromosomes, a synapomorphy for the family. The karyotype diversity, both on the diploid number and the chromosome morphology in Aspredinidae, it very similar to the ones found in families from the Asiatic clade Sisoroidea (Amblycipitidae, Akysidae, Sisoridae and Erethistidae), suggesting that these families went under the different selective pressures for the karyotype building or a common natural history. Thus, it corroborates the propositions of Aspredinidae and Sisoroidea as sister-groups, suggested by Ferraris (1989), de Pinna (1998), Britto (2002), Diogo et al. (2004) and Cardoso (2000). / A família Aspredinidae, ordem Siluriformes, é composta por um grupo de peixes neotropicais, popularmente conhecidos como bagres banjo ou rabeca. Possui distribuição restrita à América do Sul, tendo na bacia amazônica, importantes grupos de espécies endêmicas. No presente trabalho, foram realizadas análises citogenéticas e moleculares em espécies desta família, com objetivo de compreender os processos evolutivos envolvidos na diversificação destes pequenos bagres, a fim de inferir no status taxonômico. Foram disponibilizadas caracterizações cromossômicas inéditas de Amaralia hypsiura, Bunocephalus cf. aloikae, B. amaurus, B. coracoideus, B. aff coracoideus, B. verrucosus e Platystacus cotylephorus. Os dados cromossômicos, com mapeamento de DNAr 5S e distribuição da heterocromatina constitutiva revelaram um sistema de cromossomos sexuais inédito do tipo X 1 X 1 X 2 X 2 /X 1 Y 1 X 2 Y 2 em uma população de B. coracoideus. E caracterização cariotípica de P. cotylephorus revelou um segundo caso em Siluriformes de sistema sexual XX/XO. A análise de um filograma com quatro populações de Bunocephalus coracoideus, com base em uma região do mitogenoma, revelou clados com diversidade genética, que corroboraram os dados de distribuição geográfica e variação cariotípica, sugerindo a existência de Unidades Evolutivas Significativas bem suportadas, formando um complexo de espécies, em processo de especiação alopátrica e simpátrica. Ainda, os dados cromossômicos permitiram a percepção de uma tendência à redução do número diploide na evolução cromossômica da família em relação ao cariótipo ancestral dos Siluriformes, conservando um cariótipo com maioria de cromossomos de dois braços. E, posteriormente, por rearranjos cromossômicos do tipo inversões pericêntricas e fissões, o número diploide de algumas espécies teria aumentado e a morfologia cariotípica se modificado para cromossomos de um braço, sendo este uma sinapomorfia na família. A diversidade cariotípica, tanto no número diploide como na morfologia dos cromossomos em Aspredinidae é muito parecida às encontradas nas famílias do clado asiático Sisoroidea (Amblycipitidae, Akysidae, Sisoridae e Erethistidae), sugerindo que essas famílias sofreram as diferentes pressões seletivas para formação dos cariótipos ou uma história natural em comum. Assim, corroborando com a proposta de Aspredinidae e Sisoroidea serem grupos-irmãos, sugerida por Ferraris (1989), de Pinna (1998), Britto (2002), Diogo et al. (2004) e Cardoso (2010).

Excerpt: On July 21, 1956, Pasadena, California-based scholar Joseph Sargent Hall visited the Williams house in Haywood County, North Carolina’s Upper White Oak community, located just outside the Great Smoky Mountains National Park boundary, to make some documentary field recordings of local music.

Banjo Romantika introduces the musicians who play this unique bluegrass hybrid. Czechs first heard bluegrass during World War II when the Armed Forces Network broadcast American music for soldiers. The music represented freedom to dissatisfied Czechs living in a communist state. Czechs’ love for the music was solidified when Pete Seeger visited and performed in 1964. Inspired by classic American bluegrass sounds, an assortment of musicians from across the formerly communist Czech Republic have melded the past, the political and the present into a lively musical tradition entirely its own.Screening and discussions occurred on the following dates and places: Czech and Slovak Cultural Association / Minnesota Bluegrass and Old Time Music Association, St. Paul, MN (11/18/2017) William King Museum Speaker Series, Birthplace of Country Music Museum, Bristol, VA (02/07/2017)Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Society of Ethnomusicology Annual Conference, Charlottesville, VA (03/05/2016)Appalachian Studies Association, Johnson City (03/27/2015)Society for Ethnomusicology, Pittsburgh, PA (11/13/2014)IBMA World of Bluegrass Business Conference, Raleigh, NC (09/28/2014)International Country Music Conference, Nashville, TN (05/24/2014)Colgate University, (9/20-21/2016)Merlefest, Wilkesboro, NC (4/24/2015)College of Charleston (3/19/2015)West Virginia University (11/12/2014)University of Virginia Dept. of Music, Charlottesville, VA (11/8/2013)Walker Arts and History Center, Cary, NC (9/26/2013)Fulbright Distinguished Scholar Series, American Center at the U.S. Embassy, Prague, Czech Republic (6/20/2013)Banjo Jamboree Bluegrass Festival, Čáslav, Czech Republic (6/21/2013, 6/22/2013)Jerome College of Prague, Prague, Czech Republic (6/24/2013)Moravská Zemská Knihovna, Brno (6/27/2013)White Stork Bluegrass Festival, Luka nad Jihlavou (7/8/2013)

The banjo is mostly depicted as an icon of American folk music culture. It seems to be the organological incarnation of the alternative folk music scene and the rural, conservative Hillbilly. Although in most highbrow art and musical instrument museums the banjo is a rarely discussed instrument. Pop and high culture seem to avoid the banjo to a certain degree. How do connotations like these emerge in pop and high culture? How did they change over time and how can we try to nail them down most accurately? This paper tries to solve these very broad questions by taking a look at samples of German banjos and media about the banjo. While diving into the history of western colonialism, racism and nationalism, this study tries to look at the connotation of the banjo from different points of view and uses a combination of methods to find and evaluate relevant samples.

The two-finger banjo style languishes as a small footnote in the lexicon of old time banjo music—very important to a passionate (and lucky!) few, but not known by too many others. This research is a starting point to understanding the meaning of two-finger banjo; through a review of primary literature, interviews, witnessing performances, and individual investigation of playing two-finger banjo, I have been able to document some understandings about the style. These understandings informed further appreciation of old time music, the old time music (and banjo) communities, and the art of making music in this way—while describing the journey, I gained insights from scholars, folklorists, musicians, recordings, and made many discoveries that I documented in this thesis. I have concluded that one of the best ways to find meaning in any pursuit is by engaging with your community and connecting yourself to your art.
