DIVERSONS groups in Caravaca de la Cruz: June 25
Lusophone
This band was born in Madrid a year ago, when singer Patricia Colaço, after numerous experiences in groups of Latin jazz and Brazilian musicians brought together several different styles to work, from an acoustic sound and different materials that would have the common element Portuguese language, probably one of the most musical in the world.
From here, the group (composed of an eclectic accordionist, a jazz bassist and guitarist looking for connections between flamenco and Brazilian music, plus the singer guilty of all this) conducted research that led him to concentrate Fado in Lisbon, traditional songs of the Alentejo region of Portugal, the Cape Verdean morna, the Angolan Semba choro or Rio.
Urban and rural proposals, paused or rhythmic, genuine or mixed, the Lusophone musical universe is full of nuances and rich sounds of this quartet puts it, perfectly, within our reach in a single session.
Los Soneros
The traditional repertoire Cuban on the island proudly qualify as folk, is that recovers the group Los Soneros, after years of research in the archives of the music of the island and to rescue the legacy of composers like Ignacio Piñeiro Nico Saquito, Miguel Matamoros and Arsenio Rodriguez.
The obvious devotion to the traditional sound authentic Cuban musicians show joins the versatile voice of Ramón Fabián, who developed a consistent career in Cuba before starting this new project.
In the early twentieth century, Cuban music has consolidated a group format that made his fortune and that the exceptional vocal games linking African and Spanish influences, they added an unstoppable combination of melodic instruments (Spanish guitar, Cuban tres, trumpet ... ) and rhythmic (bass, maracas, bells ...).
Under such a structure that would become classical styles were developed as the guaracha or bolero, directly derived from the traditional Son Montuno born in Sierra Maestra.
