UN BUEN CANTANTE

EL BENNY - GENIO MUSICAL DE LA HISTORIA UNIVERSAL

Por fortuna hemos tenido a través de la historia musical cubana, una larga lista de grandes y buenos cantantes. No creo necesario mencionarlos, se me van a quedar muchos. Pero vamos aunque sea a reiterar y mencionar a uno de ellos, sin dudas para mi criterio el más grande de todos, pero la pregunta que muchos no responden, es ¿¿¿POR QUÉ BENNY FUE EL MEJOR DE TODOS???

Benny Moré¿Habrá por ahí alguien que NO considere que Benny MORÉ, el de Santa Isabel de las LAJAS, fue el mejor? Esa pregunta lógicamente puede que exista, ya se sabe que para gustos se han hecho los colores…jaaa. Pero señores, simplemente hagan un análisis musical, un poco regresen y vayan a los tiempos aquellos, analicen la obra completa, escuchen sus interpretaciones, comparen a sus preferidos y saquen sus cuentas nuevamente puede que lleguemos a coincidir en la decisión final.

Pincha aquí y buscamos la explicación.

14th Latin GRAMMY Process Begins

Comienza 14a Proceso Latin GRAMMY

Latin GRAMMY season is upon us again, and there is always a tremendous number of recordings that are submitted for consideration by Latin Recording Academy (LARAS) members each year. Cuba is now actively including recordings by Cuban artists living in the United States and other countries in its Cubadisco Awards (their equivalent to the GRAMMY awards), and it is our hope that the members of the Latin Recording Academy will be equally proactive in listening to the best of Cuba's recorded output, some of which is now being submitted to the Latin GRAMMY process. Since these recordings don't have the same marketing and publicity support as major-label projects made in the United States or Europe, the article that follows may be helpful as a tool for learning more about these excellent but not always well-known recordings. 
You can read the full article in English here.

La temporada del Latin GRAMMY ha llegado otra vez, y siempre hay un gran número de grabaciones que se someten a la consideración de la Academia Latina de Grabación (LARAS) miembros cada año. Cuba está incluyendo activamente unas grabaciones de artistas cubanos que viven en Estados Unidos y en otros países en los Premios Cubadisco (equivalente a los premios Grammy), y tenemos la esperanza de que los miembros de la Academia Latina de la Grabación serán igualmente proactivo en escuchar lo mejor de la producción grabada de Cuba, algunos de los cuales se presenta ahora en el proceso del Latin GRAMMY. Dado que estas grabaciones no reciben tanto ayuda con marketing y publicidad como los lanzamientos de las etiquetas principales hecho en los Estados Unidos o Europa, el artículo que sigue puede ser útil como una herramienta para aprender más acerca de estos excelentes, pero no siempre bien conocido grabaciones.
Se puede leer el articulo en español aquí.

Entrevista a Alexander Acosta

Alexander Acost - Desafio

Alexander Acosta released his solo CD "Desafio" in November 2012 and has been touring this summer to promote the new CD. I caught up with him at a concert in Stockholm where he was collaborating with Yuly & Havana C, a band for which he was the first singer and also author of one of the songs on their first album. Alexander was born in Santa Clara and sang with bands such as Charanga Forever, Pupy y Los Que Son Son and Elito Revé y Su Charangón before going solo.

Here is a short interview with Alexander, including some video from the concert in Stockholm July 12, 2013, which was produced by Club Mambo an El Barrio. You can still catch Alexander during the summer tour season at the Latinossegor festival in Hossegor, France. I've been there and it's a beautiful location and a great festival so don't miss it! "Desafio" is available at iTunes and Amazon , as well as in hardcopy at the concerts. So take some extra cash!
