Nuestra banda está compuesta de una orquestación igual a los famosos big band de Machito, Chico O’Farril, Duke Ellington, Tito Puente, Mario Bausa, Dizzy Gillespie, etc. A diferencia de mi grupo Afro Rican Jazz, que se compone de siete músicos, en esta ocasión es un big band de 21 músicos interpretando la música boricua con composiciones originales nuevas. Cada vez que participamos en este festival traemos sorpresas y este año no será la excepción. Nos vamos en grande celebrando los 30 años de Afro Rican Jazz con invitados especiales. La música del big band es super intensa, experimental, con muchos sabores, colores y ritmos afro boricua. Durante los 30 años del nacimiento del jazz puertorriqueño seguimos aportando a nuestra música y a nuestra cultura, inspirando a las nuevas generaciones a seguir nuestros pasos”, concluyó Cepeda.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">Cuatro
virtuosos del piano; José Negroni, Angel David Mattos, Víctor Meléndez y Harry
Aponte presentaron una variada y exquisita propuesta musical en “In Front of
the Piano” el pasado 9 de marzo en la Sala Experimental Juan Marichal del
Centro de Bellas Artes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">El
público pudo disfrutar de magistrales interpretaciones al piano que incluyeron Danzas
Puertorriqueñas, Música Clásica, Música para Películas, Tango, y Jazz.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7QxsuzEs0fKgIdTzWlYYKqNyfzlVk734MM1bguzBd4lrsS6nJecDkh6v1rTv-9wnPJSINBbCCSMXq7XudJyPTPpPeVzwhR-Z6piUiHF_ZycWUsLCajqsUarfbD51LzhGCZqOtKo4d_R-5fuWDcKRv2yT1J0xf1AnECMK2LP9TgjBYBuBIg7TieEqEFXR8/s1620/DSC_0013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1620" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7QxsuzEs0fKgIdTzWlYYKqNyfzlVk734MM1bguzBd4lrsS6nJecDkh6v1rTv-9wnPJSINBbCCSMXq7XudJyPTPpPeVzwhR-Z6piUiHF_ZycWUsLCajqsUarfbD51LzhGCZqOtKo4d_R-5fuWDcKRv2yT1J0xf1AnECMK2LP9TgjBYBuBIg7TieEqEFXR8/s320/DSC_0013.JPG" width="213" /></a></div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">El
primero en salir al escenario fue José Negroni y luego de una primera pieza, se
le une el joven pianista Harry Aponte para la interpretación a dos pianos de la
dinámica y alegre composición de José Negroni “Coqui, Coqui”. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">Harry
Aponte queda a solas en el piano para llevarnos a España en una enérgica
interpretación del clásico “Asturias”. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">Víctor
Meléndez hace su entrada para adentrarse en la <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>exploración de la música para películas del
gran John Williams. Williams fue pianista de jazz, antes de llegar a ser
reconocido como uno de los grandes compositores del siglo 20. El jazz será
parte del repertorio durante este concierto. Meléndez continúa en el piano para
interpretar una de las muchas danzas de su autoría, “Tu Sonrisa”, dedicada a su
hija.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifN3_TLy5dExCv8CQuKRC-PkceI9vH-V0gnwWPDABDRntkacHeEZg92xNqgFlE57IV6ndrTXyGXcnpVoOOS7d2QiOVYG145DNY1AmigpskAEOiT34dnuce_cZ_R48ixc5xTiVqpJnxfzEiiGg7QvWMvr0bXBXJHznKMmTuZ83ERiEsjyyn01bP1gF8CPrR/s1620/DSC_0209.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1620" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifN3_TLy5dExCv8CQuKRC-PkceI9vH-V0gnwWPDABDRntkacHeEZg92xNqgFlE57IV6ndrTXyGXcnpVoOOS7d2QiOVYG145DNY1AmigpskAEOiT34dnuce_cZ_R48ixc5xTiVqpJnxfzEiiGg7QvWMvr0bXBXJHznKMmTuZ83ERiEsjyyn01bP1gF8CPrR/s320/DSC_0209.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">Ángel
David Mattos trae la fusión de Jazz con Danza Puertorriqueña que fue parte de
su producción discográfica Danzzaj, 2004. Con la danza de Juan Morel Campos
“Maldito Amor”, Mattos demuestra los puntos de confluencia entre la danza y el
jazz. En ocasiones su fraseo e improvisaciones evocan a uno de sus ídolos el
pianista Chick Corea, y nos pareció escuchar citas melódicas de otros compositores
como “Maria Cervantes” de Noro Morales.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">En
el segundo dúo de la noche se unen Harry Aponte y Ángel David Mattos para
explorar la genialidad jazzistica del pianista y compositor Chick Corea en uno
de su composiciones más reconocidas, “Armando’s Rhumba”. Mattos continúa
sorprendiendo con sus citas melódicas, esta vez con “Si no me dan de beber”,
entre otras.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">Harry
Aponte queda nuevamente solo en el piano para la interpretación de una danza
original y una pieza Chopin.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">Negroni
regresa al piano para un dúo con Victor Meléndez en “Los Duendes”, otra
excelente composición de Negroni, también con toques de Chick Corea, que le
permitió a ambos hacer despliegue de su maestría.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">Ángel
David regresa al piano retomando la danza con una de su autoría, titulada “Deseo”.
El jazz y la danza se fusionan nuevamente en el clásico de Juan Morel Campos
“No me toques“. El genio de las citas melódicas vuelve a la carga, esta vez
citando el tema de los Flintstones.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">El
tango hace presencia en el piano de José Negroni en la icónica composición de
Astor Piazzola “Libertango”. Víctor Meléndez regresa al piano y nos lleva a
Cuba con sus “Variaciones del Manisero”.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWTgPdJNHJvJrWjXHA1kFJ4MsIferr5OC-W8RSluBaxbGtyoh51l2V45ap3ZCN_jA7IoFkIMaCS93DjAIwXjRahBnFKZjbe11e_m2fDdo-xp2CzWijrbnYH2Rr6ac57lMwSkYPWadyaKNx_ID9pI8EUjFGtTNThyphenhyphen2GyIxNMxZ8jsA8cYWqs5D8CJQxtFkh/s1620/DSC_0238.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1620" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWTgPdJNHJvJrWjXHA1kFJ4MsIferr5OC-W8RSluBaxbGtyoh51l2V45ap3ZCN_jA7IoFkIMaCS93DjAIwXjRahBnFKZjbe11e_m2fDdo-xp2CzWijrbnYH2Rr6ac57lMwSkYPWadyaKNx_ID9pI8EUjFGtTNThyphenhyphen2GyIxNMxZ8jsA8cYWqs5D8CJQxtFkh/s320/DSC_0238.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">Todos
se unen para improvisar una versión de “El Cumbanchero” de Rafael Hernández y
culminar lo que fue un manjar pianístico.<o:p></o:p></p>

Complex, chaotic, and often dissonant, this sub-genre challenges traditional structures, and when transcendent, incorporates an advanced and unconventional level of mastery. Avant-garde artists travel to curious destinations using peculiar forms specifically designed for their mercurial adventures. In the process, audience engagement requires a nuanced understanding of tone, touch, voice and the fluid organic structures that creatively bind them all together. In this regard, drummer Willy Rodriguez has spent his entire professional career preparing to explore these unique types of musical relationships.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSmrb86wRLjxJrP-LJZYoZYfOq1h6FNlD_NEFFD7ML_yMR_dCUJRARQo12z8LsIwl2STYBkm7GCDNX6-cRzIu_W2ZHwccI2xln6JEk4d3ikfacWnpss6Oab4KRHCRe5u-j1_72aCjuHkwTXSv_HdA_en3TQtscU41-fledeVpTdmJceBpwj1QclEbsAjRM/s2592/13%20-%20Willy%20Rodriguez%20...%20by%20Leslie%20Farinacci%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2592" data-original-width="1728" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSmrb86wRLjxJrP-LJZYoZYfOq1h6FNlD_NEFFD7ML_yMR_dCUJRARQo12z8LsIwl2STYBkm7GCDNX6-cRzIu_W2ZHwccI2xln6JEk4d3ikfacWnpss6Oab4KRHCRe5u-j1_72aCjuHkwTXSv_HdA_en3TQtscU41-fledeVpTdmJceBpwj1QclEbsAjRM/s320/13%20-%20Willy%20Rodriguez%20...%20by%20Leslie%20Farinacci%201.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><br /></strong><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Born in Puerto Rico, the son of a timbalero, Rodríguez’s rhythmic journey also began on the timbales, developing hand skills by playing in Latin rock bands that made up his crash course on Puerto Rico’s remarkably diverse Afro-Caribbean musical culture. High school brought an introduction to the drums as formal training blossomed into an invitation to a coveted summer program at the Berklee College of Music in San Juan, Puerto Rico. By the time he left the island to attend Berklee, Rodríguez had already dabbled in pop, rock, metal and Latin Jazz. Humbled by Boston’s deep Jazz drum culture, Rodríguez dove head first into his studies absorbing the influences of legends like Elvin Jones, Tony Williams, Roy Haynes, Jack DeJohnette and Terri Lyne Carrington. Rodríguez eventually settled in New York City, where he currently resides. Over the course of his twenty-year career, including his decade in New York, Rodriguez has worked with an expansive list of jazz heavyweights including George Garzone, Melissa Aldana, John Ellis, and more. </strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglvSea8p33fa28a8BmMtOxIeehP6c9TlbNdIBZ93GaMfQ1XgCr52etV8E1VLnbnXEvfwjGxsCfxiOfAvOmdfJqbsMplkXmHHYiv33ivHr2cowrRXKI6afLORIiB16n9InH5kzfSFeIRK3Y7LR1KRFPdT4rGWHBC6v051RmjcTUXdH52dsL_8ZtH84754qs/s2592/17%20-%20Willy%20Rodriguez%20...%20by%20Leslie%20Farinacci%205.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1728" data-original-width="2592" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglvSea8p33fa28a8BmMtOxIeehP6c9TlbNdIBZ93GaMfQ1XgCr52etV8E1VLnbnXEvfwjGxsCfxiOfAvOmdfJqbsMplkXmHHYiv33ivHr2cowrRXKI6afLORIiB16n9InH5kzfSFeIRK3Y7LR1KRFPdT4rGWHBC6v051RmjcTUXdH52dsL_8ZtH84754qs/s320/17%20-%20Willy%20Rodriguez%20...%20by%20Leslie%20Farinacci%205.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><br /></strong><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Concurrently, Rodriguez’s musical palette continued to flourish. In 2019, he recorded with Chilean superstar Mon Laferte, and earned a Latin Grammy for his contributions to her highly regarded album Norma. In 2022, Rodriguez stepped into the legendary drum chair of progressive rock band The Mars Volta for their much-anticipated, eponymous reunion album, following in the footsteps of great drummers Jon Theodore, Deantoni Parks, and Thomas Pridgen. Expanding his range and exploring new musical avenues, Rodriguez continued to hear the call of an odd opportunity - various invitations to explore free improvisation. Perhaps the most important voice aiding this momentum was Dave Liebman, the storied multi-instrumentalist whose career spans decades of innovation within and outside of traditional contemporary Jazz.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Rodriguez’s initial hesitation finally gave way as Liebman and others eventually persuaded him to dive into the deep end of their pool. Always striving to compliment his surroundings, Rodriguez quickly discovered a new scope of expression that would challenge his ability to listen while accentuating the diverse skill set he’d manicured throughout his burgeoning career. Suddenly freedom and adventure reigned supreme. “That sense of connection,” as Rodriguez recalls it, “continually searching for something. I became addicted to that and now it always shows up when I play.” And his search continues with Seeing Sounds, featuring many of his long-time collaborators. </strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpadQtY0sK9EJWaSxsHfF2xOoN_zN-2E1oYOLUSRC0W0oA_4m4ZT8NjxBO2HA8cMY-ki-A5RHgqIlb5nhXJAq88RPjY4XRgu_yM69n2Yfi465O_RhLkCFk9QJ_M4bhI0y5m6e4T4ipUyJJ6XG29P_7-4iFh8rgoce2-TSYb_t2-Nja1ZAfLYmG6sAiTgkR/s2144/16%20-%20Willy%20Rodriguez%20...%20by%20Leslie%20Farinacci%204.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1944" data-original-width="2144" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpadQtY0sK9EJWaSxsHfF2xOoN_zN-2E1oYOLUSRC0W0oA_4m4ZT8NjxBO2HA8cMY-ki-A5RHgqIlb5nhXJAq88RPjY4XRgu_yM69n2Yfi465O_RhLkCFk9QJ_M4bhI0y5m6e4T4ipUyJJ6XG29P_7-4iFh8rgoce2-TSYb_t2-Nja1ZAfLYmG6sAiTgkR/s320/16%20-%20Willy%20Rodriguez%20...%20by%20Leslie%20Farinacci%204.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><br /></strong><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Two of the oldest key collaborators include Jason Palmer, with whom Rodriguez has performed with since his earliest days in Boston, cutting his teeth at the famous Wally’s Jazz Club. Palmer had a steady gig at the establishment, and Rodriguez would often run the jam sessions preceding Jason’s hit, leading to a long-standing musical connection that perseveres to this day, and is in full bloom on Seeing Sounds. Leo Genovese is another long-time musical partner dating back to 2009. Also a musical polymath, Genovese and Rodriguez have shared many musical settings together, from sets at Smalls Jazz Club to The Mars Volta.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKDnc0IcLuJ4Jfvnj949Q0aniqdwyJxwNcntYPvxuilT5GwI-IjS38vxbePJopsHoIN_mpMuu_fpyqO44g9rGYyFAmfADKX7otJN8BnJkvLX4-xxMilyD001VNUQ7sJuimwlJQMfy1GKSHJlpU0WqRm9DlgEVu-GsfWU-CabJgxXFY7rvsDuNC9GrPlXSp/s2592/14%20-%20Willy%20Rodriguez%20...%20by%20Leslie%20Farinacci%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1728" data-original-width="2592" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKDnc0IcLuJ4Jfvnj949Q0aniqdwyJxwNcntYPvxuilT5GwI-IjS38vxbePJopsHoIN_mpMuu_fpyqO44g9rGYyFAmfADKX7otJN8BnJkvLX4-xxMilyD001VNUQ7sJuimwlJQMfy1GKSHJlpU0WqRm9DlgEVu-GsfWU-CabJgxXFY7rvsDuNC9GrPlXSp/s320/14%20-%20Willy%20Rodriguez%20...%20by%20Leslie%20Farinacci%202.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><br /></strong><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">MORE ABOUT SEEING SOUNDS:</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">The dawn of Seeing Sounds, which features the striking imagery of Puerto Rican painter Angel Borroto as its cover, rises with Rodriguez’s musical perfect storm “Beyond the Struggle”. Inspired by John Coltrane’s “Psalm”, the composition explores the “growth and wisdom one gains from failure,” as Genovese, Jimenez, and Rodriguez provide a salient backdrop for Cuban saxophonist Hery Paz to probe all parts of the song. Eventually clouds clears as sonic enlightenment serenades the tune towards its peaceful resolution. Informed by numbers charting the course of the complex meters used within the composition, “Roy’s Masterplan” unfolds as Rodriguez’s angular nod to the ingenious influence of a former Berklee colleague, featuring fascinating interplay between Palmer and Paz. Rounding the corner into straight ahead Jazz is the swinging “Where There’s A Will, There’s A Way”, Palmer’s ode to Rodriguez and their fifteen years of playing together.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">“Guani”, named after the long beaked hummingbird found in various parts of the Caribbean, lumbers above a 3/4 waltz pattern but with a 4/4 feel, as the band improvises on five phrases drawn out by composer Paz. Here “each musician gets to be a drummer in the band,” Rodriguez describes, as the group collectively paints a colorful picture of the bird anointed by Taino Indians as their animal teacher in the spirit world. The rarely recorded “Fixed Goal” manifests the kind of odd tension you’d expect from a Ornette Coleman composition, as the tune swings with angular chord progressions, neatly placed Monk quotes by Paz, and stair stepping sequences that finds the band in full form.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Living up to its name, “Waltz Dilemma” dances between time signatures with Jimenez’s bass anchoring Rodriguez radiant drum work behind Genovese’s sparkling phrasing. After a rigorous climb through the melody, everyone agrees to disagree harmonically as Paz muscles the tune back to 3/4 before the impasse is eventually resolved. Depicting a kaleidoscope of emotions, “The Infinity of Your Love” is Rodriguez’s exposé on the varied nature of affection. Pensively circling each other while flowing in and out of harmony, Liebman and Palmer finally punctuate the song's end as if to say, “Sorry Dorothy, love’s not a Hallmark card anymore.”</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Making matters even more delightfully bizarre is “The Red-tailed Hawk is Going to Eat Your Babies”, featuring field recordings by music producer Tehn Vega. Here Rodriguez shines anthropomorphizing the aviary chaos that routinely played out in backyard mango trees during his time in Puerto Rico. “Un Pequeño Desahogo (A Little Relief)” takes the form of a temperamental amuse-bouche, cleansing our pallets while showcasing the remarkable amount of polyphonic information Rodriguez can squeeze into a sub three minute song.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Splashing cymbals announce “Self Love”, the muscular but also sensitive display of Rodriguez’s technical creativity when allowed to play by, and just for, himself. Celebrating the spirit and deep influential impact that drummers Ralph Peterson Jr. and Bob Gulloti have had on Rodriguez the album concludes with “Praise”, a rollicking composition by Genovese reminiscent of the compelling styles and the elite musical traditions these master drummers sustained throughout their careers.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Listening deeply allows for the gentle displacement of artifice, ego and traditional expectations. It creates the space required to appreciate music for what it is, as opposed to anything we might want, or need it to be. As with anyone who’s ever struggled with meditation, emptying one’s mind like this can be exhilarating, surprisingly peaceful and thoroughly educational. Seeing Sounds is a deep listening bonanza, a special album using the inquisitive nature of free improvisation as an artful form of musical inquiry. Surrounded by close friends doubling as agile musical agents, Seeing Sounds finds Rodriguez introducing his impressive range of talents while challenging us to listen deeply, with heightened awareness, to this remarkably impressive achievement.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiVHZ_HazX0_YJfTqdNVmjkYlqPznGEDWUH7akcBn6weXOA3ndXZY-Z6nACIPwEr9AgiSpbdDt6vkS8JWTaD4EYIEGy7TB-EwcAe8gdNzidqTSFFNSAvIljZq4tKlbqwBB6w-j_RS1V2elV20WXdK1wCKxNbcfdXDv78gSxky2wLRQQ0WvzdTIWe7qGXk8/s2592/15%20-%20Willy%20Rodriguez%20...%20by%20Leslie%20Farinacci%203.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1728" data-original-width="2592" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiVHZ_HazX0_YJfTqdNVmjkYlqPznGEDWUH7akcBn6weXOA3ndXZY-Z6nACIPwEr9AgiSpbdDt6vkS8JWTaD4EYIEGy7TB-EwcAe8gdNzidqTSFFNSAvIljZq4tKlbqwBB6w-j_RS1V2elV20WXdK1wCKxNbcfdXDv78gSxky2wLRQQ0WvzdTIWe7qGXk8/s320/15%20-%20Willy%20Rodriguez%20...%20by%20Leslie%20Farinacci%203.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><br /></strong><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Beyond the Struggle </strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Roy’s Masterplan</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Where’s There’s a Will There’s a Way</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;">Guani (feat.

This will certainly be an incentive to keep moving forward and creating more music.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The title references the beauty of the Latin-American Songbook and the Bolero in particular. The album expands on the initial concept of El Arte Del Bolero Vol. 1 while maintaining the intent of playing songs the artists know and love. The process of choosing the repertoire began with the question, “Tu sabes que canción es bien buena?” (“You know which song is really good?”). Discussions about which versions to study, which keys to use, and which arrangements were the most inspirational followed.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Melding their jazz sensibilities with the original spirit of the music, Zenón and Perdomo deliver alluring, forward-thinking performances while keeping the songs center stage. “The Latin-American Songbook is so vast and varied that it naturally lends itself to limitless explorations,” says Zenón in the liner notes. “We purposely looked beyond the Caribbean (exploring composers from México, Venezuela and Panamá, for example) because we wanted to emphasize the point that these songs deserved to be explored and recognized for what they are, beyond labels, categories and regionalisms. Just beautiful music that is a joy to perform and listen to.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The album was named the top Latin Jazz recording of 2023 in the Jazz Critics Poll and earned critical acclaim:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"I thought this was a beautiful, beautiful record. I kept putting it on and not wanting to take it off." – Stephen Thompson, NPR New Music Friday</div><div style="text-align: justify;">"In an extraordinary follow-up to El Arte del Bolero, Vol. 1, these timeless tunes are slowed down, blended with unusual elements, played out of time, deconstructed and reconstructed as Zenón and Perdomo extract nuances from the originals that we hardly imagined could exist.” – Catalina Maria Johnson, DownBeat</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“The recording’s final number ‘Silencio,’ contains a spiky first section and then moves on to a more lyrical episode before returning to the initial theme…. It is the liveliest entry in the lineup, the one that best shows off the impressive chops of both instrumentalists. In the more raucous nightclubs, excited jazz fans used to yell “talk to me” at soloists. Listening to El Arte del Bolero, Volume Two, I feel that these two masters, while recalling their various ancestries, are talking to me.” – Michael Ullman, ArtsFuse</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Zenón and Perdomo bestow each of these melodies with a careful and loving touch, as if burnishing an heirloom gemstone” – Nate Chinen, WRTI</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Miguel Zenon and Luis Perdomo practice the art of the duo at a stratospheric level. No melody resists them and everything in their interpretation seems natural; we are talking about the alchemy which links the two musicians and allows them to perform masterful improvisations on well-known themes but totally renewed in this Cd. Indispensable.“ – Yves Dorison, Culture Jazz</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Top 5 of 2023…Sublime.” – Wilbert Sostre, 90 Grados https://90grados.com/musica/jazz-boricua-2023/</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxmhNHAQOZUXeIC8ytrjQwjNX0_BqEDqwzJoYELoMJN_SIyW6RV8XM8TQByHA9F-2_xpEX_5put-ZmBk44-GjNdge2ZIW0YXGWruHdUearbP3MuNlxHaHruO1Cj_hQ2EyfK4i6THKn1AfSJBFPHlHFKeRkwkp168X86BhsBIojCBfIR_iu-v9X6fts3hyh/s768/Luis-Perdomo-Miguel-Zenon-Photo-by-Jimmy-Katz-900.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="768" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxmhNHAQOZUXeIC8ytrjQwjNX0_BqEDqwzJoYELoMJN_SIyW6RV8XM8TQByHA9F-2_xpEX_5put-ZmBk44-GjNdge2ZIW0YXGWruHdUearbP3MuNlxHaHruO1Cj_hQ2EyfK4i6THKn1AfSJBFPHlHFKeRkwkp168X86BhsBIojCBfIR_iu-v9X6fts3hyh/s320/Luis-Perdomo-Miguel-Zenon-Photo-by-Jimmy-Katz-900.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>About Miguel Zenón</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Grammy® winner and Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow, Zenón is one of a select group of musicians who have masterfully balanced and blended the often-contradictory poles of innovation and tradition.

Everything needs to work together. The same principle applies to my paintings, but with color, form, line, and texture instead of musical elements. I see my paintings as an extension of my music and vice versa. The conceptual processes are incredibly alike,” says Vicéns.</p><p style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;">The compositions included in Mural are characterized by their embracement of dissonance, pointillistic textures, large intervallic leaps, gestural complexity, prolonged silences, great dynamic contrasts, and quiet sustained tones. On many occasions it’s possible to encounter a ritualistic and mysterious aspect in his music that is distinguished by the way he uses repetition over melodic fragments and harmonic patterns. The influences of Webern and Feldman are perceivable in Vicéns’ works. Commenting on the evocative repertoire brought together in this album, Tim Rutherford-Johnson remarks in the CD’s liner notes, “... although his music is often quite flat in its surface relations, in its unfolding over time it admits cracks into that surface, and slow transitions from one color to another.”</p><p style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;">The title of this recording came from Vicéns’ passion for Roman and Egyptian mural paintings. "I'm fascinated by how Roman and Egyptian frescoes have decayed slowly for centuries and how the cracks and layers of colors have become part of the current stage of the work, creating a complex and atmospheric character. “Music is a reflection of life; it comes from our experiences. We go through cycles and evolve as the years pass. Over time, we get our cracks and layers of colors, just like the frescoes, and from those experiences, we get the energy and the inspiration to write music that communicates something abstractly. Mural is what I have to say at this point of my life; my future cracks and layers will slowly tell what’s next."</p><p style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5 !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; white-space-collapse: preserve; word-break: break-word;">The seven works offered in Mural display Vicéns' unique vision and maturity as a composer and conveys a pivotal point that stylistically breaks his career free from the confines of a single genre description. The addition of this album to his discography expresses his immense creativity and wide range of skills, displaying how he shapeshifts magnificently across various musical terrains. Finally, the record reveals an idiosyncratic approach that captures his innovative ideas with brilliance and excitement.</p><p style="background-color: white; direction: ltr; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;

On his latest album, Even Odds (out March 29, 2024 via Cygnus Recordings), Weiss debuts a brand-new trio with an unorthodox recording process. For this captivating session, Weiss enlists alto saxophonist Miguel Zenón and pianist Matt Mitchell, both longtime collaborators, to navigate his intricate compositions and to engage with the drummer in novel ways. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Even Odds features two distinct approaches to the delicate balance of composition and improvisation, both offering their own unique challenges to the trio. Six of the pieces are “traditional” compositions – traditional in the sense of providing written material that the trio played and improvised upon together, less so in their reflection of Weiss’ singular blend of influences, which draws on rhythmic concepts from jazz, Indian classical music, contemporary classical, West African music and extreme metal and a cinematically influenced sense of emotion and atmosphere.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The remaining pieces were crafted as game-like provocations, gauntlets thrown down from Weiss to his bandmates. They began life as brief drum exercises or grooves that Weiss recorded solo. He then presented these fragments to Zenón and Mitchell and asked them to improvise over them. These knotty miniatures, many of them clocking in under a minute or two, force the players to think in focused, densely packed bursts to realize fully formed statements as they traverse these rhythmic dares.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“I love games,” Weiss explains. “I'll make bets with people over the silliest things. On Even Odds, there was always a chance that these tunes could go a lot of different ways. I’d never recorded that way before, so it felt like a bit of a gamble.” The title of Even Odds reflects that gamesmanship, but it also suggests the dichotomies that so enliven the album – the odd-numbered trio of masters making coequal contributions to a group sound; meeting on an even playing field even as they contend with material designed to throw them off-kilter. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Weiss assured that challenge would be answered in thrilling fashion by inviting two of the most gifted, virtuosic and adventurous voices in modern music. Miguel Zenón is a multiple Grammy nominee and Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellow widely considered one of the most groundbreaking and influential saxophonists and composers of his generation. Hailed by the New York Times as “a pianist of burrowing focus and an indispensable fixture of the contemporary vanguard,” Matt Mitchell is a pianist, composer, and electronic musician interested in the intersections of various strains of acoustic, electric, composed, and improvised new music. He has played extensively in the ensembles of many major figures in improvised music, including Tim Berne, Dave Douglas, John Hollenbeck, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Linda May Han Oh, Jonathan Finlayson, Mario Pavone, and Darius Jones.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“Matt and Miguel had free reign to do whatever they wanted,” Weiss explains. “It was true improvisation, with the only form being what the drums were playing. It was challenging, but of course they're incredible musicians and they did amazing and very contrasting things – some were dense and busy, some were atmospheric and minimalist, some were loud and aggressive, some were really tender.”</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“The collaboration involved in making [this record] represented for me a feeling of great trust from Dan,” says Mitchell. “His singular dedication to a creative path encompassing both extreme discipline and unfettered expression and openness is a continual personal impetus for my own work, and I believe it has a particularly unique realization with this record.”</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzEXqfwvPKlifE7lzVfvWZRqfgMelvxICQym9ZJsw5B4WDS79ZflEUMavquPkkHE1aYBvXS23y0NosUf2UXHsSdHpPu0AWmStN8v5CtT6PmPzSW8HYOqcpHkVgS5lrImlWrvs_KDlRpnSU5BgOdA-1fAuDCD2IBKE0JK-ayv3U2F9XT2F4w4oEGX1mLRD9/s4496/0288ff7e-bbfd-1dc5-8880-8a11eb962296.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4496" data-original-width="3000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzEXqfwvPKlifE7lzVfvWZRqfgMelvxICQym9ZJsw5B4WDS79ZflEUMavquPkkHE1aYBvXS23y0NosUf2UXHsSdHpPu0AWmStN8v5CtT6PmPzSW8HYOqcpHkVgS5lrImlWrvs_KDlRpnSU5BgOdA-1fAuDCD2IBKE0JK-ayv3U2F9XT2F4w4oEGX1mLRD9/s320/0288ff7e-bbfd-1dc5-8880-8a11eb962296.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><span style="font-size: 12px; text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;"> © Stephanie Ahn-Weiss</div></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“The three of us have been playing in this trio format for the past few years, so the recording felt pretty free and organic,” Zenón adds. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">As a demonstration of the process, compare “Recover the Mindset” with “M and M,” the poker-inspired “Too Many Outs” with “Runner Runner,” or “Bribes and Ultimatums” with “Royal Beatings” – the former in each case is Weiss’ unadorned drum track, the latter a reprisal with Zenón’s and Mitchell’s darting inventions parrying with the original. The pairing of “Horizontal Lifestyle” and “Vertical Lifestyle” reverses the process; “Vertical” features the full trio, while “Horizontal” strips away Weiss’ rhythmic foundation to spotlight the intricate sax-piano duo that it inspired. The mesmerizing “Conversing with Stillness” takes a similar approach, beginning with the full trio and then excising Weiss’ drums midway to leave behind a gossamer, free-floating ballad.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">These concise experiments are interspersed with the half-dozen new compositions that Weiss penned for the album. They include the agitated, insistent opener, “It Is What It Is,” where the sustained nervous tension seems to contrast with the laissez-faire tone of acceptance suggested by the title. It’s followed by the mournful tribute “The Children of Uvalde,” which was written in the immediate aftermath of the 2022 school shooting, when this latest round of horror was still raw.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“Sometimes I don't really know how to respond to these events except to go write a tune to express the pain,” Weiss says. “That one came out of me pretty quickly. Hearing the news of a school shooting has always been horrific, but now that I have a kid it really hits home. I can't imagine what those parents go through or how they bounce back.”</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The tender “Fathers and Daughters” illustrates the more joyous aspects of parenthood. “Five to Nine,” like the improvised “Nineteen to the Dozen,” is a play on the complex meter of the respective tunes. And both “Nusrat” and “Ititrefen,” along with the improvised “Bu,” continue Weiss’ longstanding habit of paying homage to his inspirations.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">“Nusrat” is named for the iconic Pakistani Qawwali singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and transplants a Qawwali tabla rhythm onto the drum set. “Max Roach” and “Bu,” the nickname of Art Blakey, both build on rhythmic ideas gleaned from those legendary drummers. “Bu” isolates a Blakey pattern and reimagines it in the tradition of a tabla composition, while “Max Roach” elaborates on Roach’s famed contribution to Charlie Parker’s “Klactoveedsedstene.” “Ititrefen” is “Nefertiti” spelled backwards, and was written with Wayne Shorter’s brilliant composition in mind.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">The game of rock, paper, scissors depicted on the cover of Even Odds is a perfect encapsulation of this trio’s inventive music: equal parts bold and assertive, keen and incisive, and expansive and encompassing; three ideas expressed at once, at times overlapping, at times in conflict; and constantly, gleefully unpredictable.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><b>Dan Weiss</b></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">Dan Weiss has been hailed as one of the top five drummers in jazz by The New York Times. His innovative drumming and forward-thinking compositions have been pushing musical limits for decades. Weiss's intense study of jazz, classical Indian, contemporary classical, West African, and metal sets a musical platform that creates a sound that transcends conventional style or genre. Weiss has studied tabla under Samir Chatterjee for 25 years. His trio with Jacob Sacks and Thomas Morgan has released four albums (Now Yes When, Timshel, Utica Box and Dedication) and he also leads a unique 16-piece large ensemble featuring some of NYC’s most gifted musicians. His band Starebaby (with Matt Mitchell, Craig Taborn, Ben Monder and Trevor Dunn) blends metallic jazz, prog and post rock, melding deep sophistication with visceral impact. As a sideman, Weiss has played/toured with Lee Konitz, Chris Potter, Sylvie Courvoisier, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Linda May Han Oh, John Zorn, and others.</span></div><div style="background-color: white;

Tanto nos impresionó esta grabación, que en más de una ocasión le preguntamos a Sammy cuando vendría la segunda parte. La reseña que escribimos sobre "Historias, Cuentos y Canciones", pueden verla en latinjazznet.com/reviews/albums/sm-quinteto-historias-cuentos-y-canciones</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Durante los años que conocimos y compartimos con Sammy, disfrutamos no sólo de su talento como músico y compositor, también reímos con su particular sentido del humos. Y de nuestras conversaciones, llegamos a la conclusión que coincidíamos en varios asuntos, como lo esencial de la educación musical y la importancia de exponer a los jóvenes a la excelencia musical.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Sammy llevó una vida de entrega y compromiso con la música, con la educación, y con sus amigos. No es de extrañar las innumerables muestras de cariño de todas las personas que lo conocieron, músicos y estudiantes al enterarse de su diagnóstico con ALS Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Muestra de esto son los conciertos con la música de Sammy organizados por sus amigos Carmen Noemi y Egui Sierra, entre otras actividades.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Cuando se vive de la manera que vivió Sammy, realmente siempre estás presente. Y por su imborrable huella, Sammy es y siempre será uno de los imprescindibles.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: justify;">*Fotos por Wilbert Sostre </p>Jazz n Bossahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07666650597814795520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7972089288544074297.post-67890844068826361992024-01-11T14:05:00.000-08:002024-01-11T14:05:38.699-08:00Música Poética Pro Arte Musical presenta la obra del compositor puertorriqueño Carlos Carrillo, interpretada por el ensamble Third Coast Percussion<p> </p><!--StartFragment-->

Widely considered one of the most groundbreaking and influential saxophonists of his generation, Zenón has also developed a unique voice as a composer and as a conceptualist, concentrating his efforts on perfecting a fine mix between Jazz and his many influences. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Zenón has recorded and toured with a wide variety of musicians including Charlie Haden, Fred Hersch, David Sánchez, Danilo Pérez, Kenny Werner, Bobby Hutcherson and The SFJAZZ Collective. Zenón has given hundreds of lectures and master classes at institutions all over the world and is a faculty member in the Music & Theater Arts Department at MIT, as well as the current Visiting Scholar for the Harmony and Jazz Composition Department at Berklee College of Music.</em></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><em> </em></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><em><b>About Luis Perdomo</b></em></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><em>Originally from Venezuela, Grammy® nominated pianist, composer, arranger and educator Luis Perdomo moved to NYC in the early 90s and has since established himself as one of the most in-demand musicians on the scene.

Desde sus comienzos, la propuesta enfatiza en el sonido de los tambores o atabales por ser estos un elemento común en la música popular afrolatino-americana. Este planteamiento sigue siendo la razón de ser de Atabal 40 años después.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES-PR" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">La banda ha emprendido un camino musical donde lo tradicional tomó un giro más contemporáneo en la interpretación de los géneros de la plena y bomba. Cuando Atabal comenzó en diciembre 1982, el hijo de Héctor "Atabal", Caymmi, no había nacido. Desde el 2008 es el cantante principal, percusionista, compositor y uno de los administradores de la agrupación.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;"><span lang="ES-PR" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: justify;"><span lang="ES-PR" style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Atabal ha tenido la oportunidad de representar a Puerto Rico </span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">en festivales de Europa y Estados Unidos.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">En esta ocasión tan especial, la
actividad contará con una magnífica selección de agrupaciones que contagiará al
público con su ritmo. Entre ellas se encuentran, <b>Yubá Iré, Majestad Negra de
Loíza, Pleneros del Truco, Edwin Clemente y Cuembero y La Pochi Band “Viva la
Música”</b>. El variado espectáculo comenzará a las 4:00 y finalizará a las
11:00 p.m. La actividad, como de costumbre, es gratuita y abierta al público
general.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">La historia del Festival de
Bomba y Plena se remonta al 1973, cuando Clemente y un grupo de estudiantes
universitarios decidieron tomar acción para conservar y resaltar el legado
musical de las culturas africanas que en aquel momento estaba en peligro de
quedar en el olvido. Ese mismo año, este apasionado de la bomba y la plena
-junto a un grupo de colaboradores- se dio a la tarea de comenzar a
conceptualizar el evento, cuya primera edición se llevó a cabo el año siguiente
en el barrio Monte Grande, de Piñones. Desde entonces, <b>más de un millón de
personas</b> han asistido a las diferentes ediciones del junte musical, celebrado
en diferentes pueblos de la isla, especialmente en la zona costera. Además, <b>sobre
400 grupos musicales</b> se han presentado en el evento.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">“Hoy podemos ver el fruto del
trabajo que realizamos cada ano. Para cada edición, aparecen más grupos, ya hay
gestores culturales promoviendo la bomba y la plena. Las comunidades crean sus
propios bombazos y plenazos”, comentó Lucy Torres Roig, directora del Festival
de Bomba y Plena, Corp.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Esta gesta ha sido posible, en
gran parte, debido al compromiso y dedicación del homenajeado de este ano.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">“Con una pasión inquebrantable,
Capitol Clemente ha trabajado incansablemente para preservar nuestras
tradiciones. No solamente organiza y lidera el festival, sino que es un
defensor de la cultura y un gran maestro para las nuevas generaciones de
puertorriqueños que desean continuar honrando nuestra afrodescendencia y todas
las manifestaciones que la distinguen”, apuntó Torres Roig.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Entre las aportaciones del
festival, también resaltan <b>200 talleres educativos</b> sobre música
ofrecidos en comunidades de diferentes pueblos. Estos han servido para promover
el interés de grandes y chicos en la bomba y la plena, para que continúen
escuchándose a lo largo y ancho del archipiélago.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Además, los <b>50 carteles
conmemorativos</b> creados por destacados artistas plásticos de Puerto Rico.
Entre ellos, Rafael Trelles, José Alicea, David Goitía, Nelson Sambolín. La
colección ha sido expuesta en diferentes espacios de la isla y Estados Unidos.
El cartel de este año fue realizado por Jorge Vargas.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">“Esto es parte de lo que
queremos seguir trabajando. Continuar con la parte educativa de movernos a las
escuelas, junto con la exposición, a diferentes pueblos”, sostuvo López Roig,
al invitar al pueblo a disfrutar de este festival, ya convertido en un
referente de la cultura puertorriqueña.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;"><span lang="ES" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">Este año, el evento cuenta con
el auspicio de la Compañía de Turismo de Puerto Rico, la Comisión conjunta de
fondos legislativos para impacto comunitario y el municipio de San Juan.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
