But it is better to talk about music, vah! Closed
wick at home in a warm summer Saturday afternoon, while fixing my 'creatures' on the shelf of the cd, looks at me with sad eyes and a forgotten Christmas present ever opened, a gift from a dear friend. Curious like a monkey and I opened this parcel I get 'I'm CD: Ry Cooder & Manuel Galban - Mambo Sinue.
I'm going now to put in the player and the rest estasiato.Il disc is instrumental, built and played by two musicians who rotate and come together to exchange roles and tools.
Ry Cooder, for those not familiar, is a guitarist, singer and songwriter, made famous for a series of albums in which he explored various genres of American music (and more). It has always winked in Cuba in all its ethnicity so as to be also the main initiator of the famous musical experience that has been, since 1996, the Buena Vista Social Club Manuel Galban
was born in 1931 in a small town in the west the island of Cuba as a child and has played in several local groups until you get the first job at age 14 as lead guitarist in Cuban orchestra note of the time 'Orchestra Villa Blanca'. In 1963 he created that legendary group 'Los Zafiros' which gave the best of his guitar virtuosity in a stylish and competent. He founded groups of traditional Cuban music and has continued its work to date with the same unchanged elegance. It 'also appeared in films by Wim Wenders' Buena Vista Social Club' with Ry Cooder.
Two different luminosity find common ground on which to move, producing a mongrel sound: sheet is the cover that fits the tail an old American car then spread on the island of Cuba. It is thus trigger a new attraction between Africa, Cuba and the United States, a triangle that once again brings to light a hybrid creature: "Mambo sinuous" it sounds traditional in its references and its location, but also modern and experimental in its development.
The combination of guitars, percussion, congas and vocals are always forms of dance as to which are added from time to time arrangements of trumpet, piano and organ. In "Bodas de Oro" and "Echale sauce is perceived the typical phrasing of Cooder's guitar, always loose in a passionate Latin, so that a song like "La luna en tu Mirada" could belong to the repertoire of sensual Omara Portuondo, perhaps in a duet with Ibrahim Ferrer. In the album there is also room for hints of salsa, bolero and some shade roots, reflecting the fluidity of the work, which at times sounds like Django Reinhardt version of Afro-Caribbean. The album won a Grammy in 2004. A Ry Cooder
should grant visas for life, if not honorary citizenship for the work of recovery, use and dissemination played on Cuban culture.
