Long live folk music
Music is the art to express emotion
heart sincere feelings
why I say with great pride
But
music alive No, not part of an anthem, although it seems. Guaguancó is a Cuban trumpeter who composed Roberto Rodriguez and opens one of the most cherished albums of the genre: Long live the music, the percussionist Ray Barretto · · . An album that marked a peak in expression salsosa produced in New York, for hosting the ticking sound that musical trends were swarming for several years in the New York music scene, and represents a milestone in this Nuyorican experimentation was carried out since the 50's. And not just for the opening track on the album, with great fanfare that honors all the music from the Caribbean basin and rises to almost plethoric states, but by a combination of some old Cuban son, bolero that always fits with taste and the great encouragement downloads called Cooking, one of the most delicious of jazz standards that have ever played.

Over the years, Barretto had succeeded in building a well-oiled band composed of virtuous the likes of Orestes Vilató on timbales, Luis Cruz on bass, Roberto Rodriguez, Rene Lopez and Joseph Roman on trumpet, John Rodriguez on bongos and Adalberto Santiago great solo. Unfortunately, much of the band broke up shortly after this album released in 1972, so this recording also serves as the final witness. Besides the two issues mentioned included an excellent rendition of Bushes Bruca Arsenio Rodriguez, and a Yoruba chant, Alafia Cumay .
One of the main characteristics of this production is the orchestra's interpretive freedom. Barretto was a percussionist and so knew how important it was for many musicians to express themselves freely in the middle of Latin music. For that allows the family may give free rein to their feelings and makes the disc is almost like playing live. The only pans of the guaracha Vilató The ball is anthology, no doubt, and the choir live the music , that says our music will always live is premonitory years go by and all these songs and these downloads will stay fresh, relevant.

Barretto I must confess that I had left by the wayside by an old disgust. These setbacks that happen from time to time. A mid 90's, just as I was going deeper in their discography, while traveling in New York that I learned was to perform at the Blue Note in Greenwich, not missed a chance to see it. The man had completely outgrown the sauce and was then engaged in new group of jazz: New World Spirit, the concert was great, intimate but as much flavor.
finished playing when I met with him to greet and congratulate him on the presentation and in response, I got an acid and an answer contempt with bad manners. I do not remember exactly what I said, but sounded more or less a "middle and let me depart in peace." I do not know if it was that he had broken the fifth leather in the middle of a theme or one of his musicians had been discordant, or simply had a bad day, but his attitude led to a rejection that almost made me ignore their discs during years until a few days ago, I confess, when I run across with them, and come to the conclusion that musicians and artists that I admire most about it is better not to know, will not be ending their days being people bad, or downright idiots, that is, and not those demigods perfect you can imagine.
