SEPTETO NACIONAL
”SIN RUMBA NO HAY SON!
Legends of Son Habanero
|
|
| |
This month, Septeto Nacional tours the U.S. in support of their new album, ”Sin Rumba No Hay Son!, with concerts in Miami, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Monterey, CA. The album makes plain their continued excellence in son habanero, a hybrid style mixing the rural Afro-Cuban son with Havana's urban rumba and guaguancó, the latter of which founder Ignacio Pińeiro brought to the band. Still heeding the call to "Echale Salsita" ("put some salsa on it"), Septeto Nacional will return to the U.S. in 2011, with a Carnegie's Zankel Hall show on April 16.
Theres no antiquarian dust on Septeto Nacional... Its Cuban son, and its rumbas and boleros, are music of transparency, tensile strength and phantom drive. -- The New York Times
 COMING IN OCT:
HUUN HUUR TU
ANCESTORS CALL
Tuvan Throat Singing
October features Ancestors Call, the fascinating new album by renowned Tuvan group Huun Huur Tu. Masters of the indigenous khöömel, or "throat singing", Huun Huur Tu's music mimics their natural surroundings and features vocals that can produce multiple pitches simultaneously. Winners of a 2008 BBC World Music Award, the group has collaborated with Frank Zappa, Ry Cooder, The Kronos Quartet and producer Carmen Rizzo, and also opened for Tinariwen at their Royce Hall concert last February. The group tours the U.S. in 2011.
