At a time when the world celebrates the arrival of the first black president to the
White House, we felt the story crying out for a man who was later in his time
that we now suggests Barack Obama. I'm speaking of Ray Charles, or simply
Ray! A man with creative Sunday to create while producing his epic alive in the
form of art to attract crowds through music. At the time of Ray, was creating a
playful way of living, which for many, was a turn off for a singer of color and with
visual impairments. But, it was not! It was pure art from inside a guy who has
learned to transform the pain of a life badly lived-in art to be heard anywhere in
the world. Despite the difficult childhood, the obstacles were not bet before the
talents of a composer of sophisticated and unique lineage. Ray sang and
delighted by the form of ring finger unparalleled in a soft piano bar syrup and
spicy. From its legacy were more creative than lessons for the new generations.
They were lessons that go beyond mere composition of musical notes of
success. Ray sang in a time when the record companies tried to impose reins to
his talent rebel and above, out of range. In their veins, in addition to the pure
black blood, I ran the aesthetics of remix, a time that the mixture proposed by
Martin Luther King was only speech to a middle class who could barely
understand the fever of Elvis. What now become fashionable, at that time was
pure heresy. But singer Ray knew delight of everything: jazz, soul, gospel,
country music, Rhythm'n'Blues, the blues of eternal imposes osidade of you
who never was ready to be molded by someone. In the golden years for the
pain, Ray has lived the peak of the mixture as if it were the truth that should
have guided us forever. What the time Ray was a mixture of creative and
genuine, this is a subtle line that separates the remix of plagiarism. While
plagiarism omits sources of creation, the remix celebrates and exposes, says
Henry Jenkins, in the book quot;Convergence Culture.quot; The remix seeking to build a
dialogue with the past rather than for you to claim authorship

of anything. In remix, production is collective, participatory and collaborative,
establishing social networks where it is allowed that all works can live together
peacefully. In the middle of the road, the copyright laws inhibit the growth
culture, restricting the use of works to their owners. If the culture is the
humanity, such as thinking on the logic alquímicos that sees the culture born of
nothing, as if it were only the result of the artist's head? Indeed, Einstein has not
created the Theory of Relativity without realizing the mistakes of their
predecessors. As Jenkins says, the great literary works took ride in the past,
removing him the resources they needed to promote the cultural expansion. In
any creative process, the artist built from the existing culture. But for that to
happen on a continuous and healthy, we all need to learn to respect the culture,
giving credit to the authors of the material we use. Otherwise, it is the death of
the artist and those who learned to love him. In the era of vinyl, Ray was
already ahead of its time, mixing various musical rhythms in a kaleidoscope, the
record labels against prejudice, bias that pervades the industry of video games
also. Although the game Guitar Hero World Tour provides the option to
compose music, the players are being censored by the owners after the themes
of Zelda and Mario were remixed and downloaded by thousands of fans of the
games. Controversy aside, today increasingly have the opportunity to make us
artists. Just want to leave the tank and run the risk of life outside. Who knows
with the same talent of a guy named Ray. ..

Por Luciene Santos*
No momento em que o mundo festeja a chegada do primeiro presidente negro
à Casa Branca, sentimos a história clamando por um homem que esteve mais
adiante no seu tempo que nos sugere agora Barack Obama. Estou falando de
Ray Charles, ou simplesmente Ray! Um homem com dom criativo de criar
enquanto produzia a sua epopéia viva em forma de arte para atrair multidões
através da música. No tempo de Ray, criar era uma forma lúdica de viver, o
que para muitos, era apenas um desativo de um cantor de cor e com
deficiência visual. Mas, não era não! Era pura arte vindo de dentro de um cara
que aprendeu a transformar a dor de uma vida mal-vivida em arte para ser
ouvida em qualquer lugar do mundo. Apesar da infância difícil, os obstáculos
não foram páreos diante do talento de um compositor de linhagem sofisticada e
única. Ray cantou e encantava pela forma dedilhada de tocar sem igual num
suave piano bar de calda bem apimentada. De seu legado criativo ficaram mais
do que lições para as novas gerações. Ficaram lições que vão além da
composição de meras notas músicais de sucesso. Ray cantou num tempo em
que as gravadoras tentavam impor rédeas a seu talento rebelde e, sobretudo,
fora de série. Nas suas veias, além do puro sangue negro, já corria a estética
da remixagem, num tempo que a mistura proposta por Martin Luther King era
apenas discurso para uma classe média que mal conseguia entender a febre
de Elvis. O que agora virou moda, naquela época, era pura heresia. Mas, Ray
soube encantar cantanto de tudo: jazz, soul, gospel, música country,
Rhythm'n'Blues, o blues da eterna impie tu osidade de quem jamais ficou
pronto para ser moldado por alguém. Nos anos dourados pela dor, Ray já vivia
o auge da mistura como se isso fosse a verdade que deveria ter nos norteado
sempre. O que no tempo de Ray era uma mistura criativa e genuína, hoje é
uma linha tênue que separa a remixagem do plágio. Enquanto o plágio omite
fontes da criação, a remixagem as celebra e as expõe, ressalta Henry Jenkins,

no livro “Cultura da Convergência”. A remixagem procura construir um diálogo
com o passado em vez de reivindicar para si a autoria de qualquer coisa. Na
remixagem, a produção é coletiva, participativa e colaborativa, estabelecendo
redes sociais onde é permitido que todas as obras possam conviver juntas,
pacificamente. No meio do caminho, as leis do direito autoral inibem o
crescimento cultural, restringindo o uso das obras aos seus proprietários. Se a
cultura reside na humanidade, como pensar sob a lógica alquímica que encara
a cultura nascida do nada, como se ela fosse apenas fruto da cabeça do
artista? Na verdade, Einstein não criou a Teoria da Relatividade sem perceber
os equívocos de seus antecessores. Como afirma Jenkins, as grandes obras
literárias pegaram carona no passado, retirando dele os recursos que
precisavam para promover a expansão cultural. Em todo processo criativo, o
artista constrói a partir da cultura existente. Mas para que isso aconteça de
forma contínua e sadia, todos nós precisamos aprender a respeitar a cultura,
dando crédito aos autores do material que usamos. Do contrário, é a morte do
artista e daqueles que aprenderam a amá-lo. Na era do vinil, Ray já estava à
frente de seu tempo, misturando diversos ritmos num caleidoscópio musical,
contra o preconceito das gravadoras, preconceito que invade também a
indústria de videogames. Embora o jogo Guitar Hero World Tour forneça a
opção de compor músicas, os jogadores estão sendo censurados pelos
proprietários depois que os temas de Zelda e Mario foram remixados e
baixados por milhares de fãs dos games. Polêmica à parte, hoje cada vez mais
temos a oportunidade de nos tornar artistas. Basta querer sair do aquário e
correr o risco da vida fora dele. Quem sabe com o mesmo talento de um cara
chamado Ray...
