    Septeto Nacional, front

    Not long ago we had the first Ignacio Piñeiro at the GG,
    today it’s turn for another. I must thank our buddy Sanjay

  • Arsenio Rodríguez – Primitivo
    Mas Records 1965

    Arsenio Rodríguez, front

    One of the key figures in latin music was this great man.
    Arsenio Rodríguez is considered father of the modern afro-cuban
    sound. His musical roots lay in the Congolese rituals of his
    family, instilled in him by his grandfather who was a slave,
    and it is said that he brought many of the toques used to
    adress deities into son. He was a predigious composer –
    his sones remain dominant in the repertoire – and his group,
    which he expanded with first congas and later an extra trumpet,
    more percussion and piano, became the most influential of the
    1940’s. Rodríguez also changed the structure of son, expanding
    the montuno with a descarga section of improvised solos.
    Arsenio Rodríguez ( 1911 – 1970 ) was blind from age eight,
    he was kicked by a horse. He was a superb tres player and one
    of Cuba’s all time great bandleaders and son composers. Arsenio
    grew up in a ‘solar’, a small neighbourhood community. It was his
    custom to play the guitar, his neighbours would join in both
    vocally and instrumentally, using sticks, pieces of chairs, boxes
    or anything they could find to create a musical sound. On such
    a night, someone used a cowbell as their contribution to this
    primitive music and it was from this that the cowbell evolved as
    part of the instrumentation of today’s Latin-American rhythm
    sections. ( Rough Guide and backsleeve )
    Congolese composer Grand Kalle was called the father of rumba,
    he became inspired by Cuban artists like Arsenio Rodríguez, so now
    we can see the circle close, afro-cuban getting round and round.
    tracks like Independence cha cha and Africa Boogaloo are typical
    examples, from Congo to Cuba and back,
    music works miracles don’t you think..
    listen to Arsenio Rodríguez,
    ( do we hear Monguito
    there ? )

    tracks;

    1 La pasion
    2 Me engañastes juana
    3 Lo que dice justi
    4 Rumba guajira
    5 Coplas de españa
    6 Que mala suerte
    7 Fiesta en el solar
    8 Me equivoque contigo
    9 A gozar mujeres
    10 No lo niegues
    11 El lema del guaguancó
    12 Guaguancó de puerta tierra

  • lo Primero Conjunto Miramar – Carruseles, Grabaciones Originales Ondina Dia Disquera Antioqueña

    Conjunto Miramar, front

    Okay fellow groovers, back to reality. When I first saw
    this lp, I was naive and thought it had something to do
    with Colombian salsa band ‘Sonora Carruseles’. And
    when listening to the first track one continues to feel
    a certain link with the group. However after searching
    the web for it, I didn’t find anything. Listening to the lp
    I got captured by surprise, as pleased as punch, “lo
    Primero Conjunto Miramar” found it’s self another fan.
    Original songs, no salsa but cumbias, porros, pregon,
    Guaracha, son and guajira, pure sweetness to the ear.
    Now I have tried to convince you before, so no more
    superlatives, just get it and give it a spin..azúcar !..

    tracks;

    1 Carruseles
    2 Reina de cumbias
    3 Sufre negra
    4 Picale
    5 La silenciosa
    6 Pregonando
    7 Chela
    8 Salpicon
    9 La pestañita

  • Conjunto Chappotín – Perlas del Son,Areito

    Conjunto Chappotín, front

    Conjunto Chappottín and his Stars was founded in 1950: African
    Cuban tres-guitarist, composer and bandleader, Arsenio Rodriguez,
    known as el Ciego Maravilloso, or the Marvelous Blind One, had settled
    in New York to recover his vision. He decided from there that his All Stars
    band, which he left in Cuba during his 1948 move to New York, should be
    transferred into the professional care of his first trumpetist, Felix Chappottín.
    From that moment, the original Arsenio Rodriguez All Stars band was
    transformed into Conjunto Chappottín y sus Estrellas. The group was Led by
    Felix Chappottín with Luis (Lili) Martinez Grinan as the arranger and Miguelito
    Cuni the lead singer. Under the leadership of Felix Chappottín, only to be
    compared with Louis Satchmo Armstrong, the band rose to international
    fame, moving and amusing dancers in different parts of the world.
    ( info from AfroCubaWeb )

    I bought this lp from a friend who used to collect Cuban music with passion.
    One day when he was in need of money, he sold me his entire collection
    with the idea to buy it back some other time. Unfortunately Dirk has left
    this world a couple of years ago. I am taking care of the music, keeping it
    together and sharing some of it with you, like today. Hope U like.

    I found that the same lp was also released with
    a different cover, as shown in small picture,
    don’t know which one was the original.

    tracks;

    1   Romance fatal
    2   Que se fuñan
    3   Cienfuegos tiene mi guaguanco
    4   Canto al monte
    5   Yo si como candela
    6   Nosotros los amalianos
    7   Jala la pata
    8   Pa bachatear
    9   Y del vedado que
    10  Yo soy tiburon
    11  Los jovenes de la defensa
    12  A bailar con la guajira

  • Duo Los Compadres – Los Compadres,Tropical

    Los Compadres, front

    I didn’t hear any complaint about not having that Soundcloud-player
    anymore. I suppose nobody really misses it. Maybe we’ll have
    another player some day, for now just download and listen.

    Duo Los Compadres was formed by Lorenzo Hierrezuelo in 1947.
    Second voice and ’tres’ was taken care of by Compay Segundo.
    We hear them performing on this album which was a re-release
    from during the seventies. Can you tell us the year of the
    original release ? Listen and enjoy in the mean time.

  • Exitos de Celina y Reutilio,Suaritos

    Celina y Reutilio, front

    One of my favourite latin voices belongs to Celina Gonzalez.
    Together with her husband Reutilio they form this historic duo.
    On Suaritos we have this delightful album, it contains some
    of their all time greatest songs. La casa de Yagua for instance,
    or Cita en el Platanal, are just two of the 14 magnificent tracks.
    Glad to spread the word on this splendid LP, Get it now !
