Anniversary Of A Death What To Say

first hand: And with good cards


first hand: And with good cards


By Mayra Garcia Cardentey their proposals sound on occasion.

first hand, is a new group, composed of 11 members, including young people not as inexperienced and experienced musicians, who arrives with interesting cards up his sleeve.

If I had to define in a precise way, I prefer the words of its director, Carlos Acosta, when he described himself as "an orchestra of musicians who feel and love what they do", where obviously the fundamental precept is, to make art phonogram, but an authentic and original.

At first they were known, or at least the few who still do, as a jazz combo, but "we do not encasi-llarnos, we have young unusual characteristics with musical training and excellent versatility, and this allows us to do all kinds of music. "

This certainly encourages them to experiment with different formats and rhythms on a journey for nothing facile or simpleton. The same interpret an exquisite jazz, sprinkled with Latin and African elements, which "set to enjoy" the public with a gambling tacky, but at the same time, kept in lyrics and melody.

When you see them play, despite define different trends or tastes, within their own individual performance, collecting a filling sound, rarely achieved by musical groups that has aspirations. All this perhaps cohesion affective and interests among its members. Whether

ballad (Fantasy, Claudia, back to me), salsa (What you gonna do?, You do not forget me), timba, reguetton, Danzon, fusion, or jazz (Contrast, Jazz mozambique, XL, This is not has a name), which in my opinion, is what gives them best, the group has firmly planted its purposes, and provided by him.

The lyrics are a plus for the first hand, even when popular dance music grown accustomed to resources apricots, not taken on by him, which does not affect the gender sandunga. More the value is in the musical arrangements of the trio of Carlos: Acosta (trumpet), Remis Lorenzo (bass) and Charles E. Travieso (piano).

Yunior They are joined Santana Martinez (vocals and sax), Yari Jaque Gutierrez (trombone), Joel A. Méndez Castillo (trumpet), Lester R. Rivers Noronha (conga and congas), Jesus M. Duran Martinez (vocals, trumpet), Alexander Medina (vocals), Alfredo Sotolongo (guiro and minor percussion) and Pedro Parra (percussion).

As some colleagues, "the tingla'o is good", not their abundance or lack anything, and each instrument and / or musician knows exactly the role to play.

The most satisfying of all be a youth orchestra, exquisite young, which means also a long way to polish items, to improve his arrival, hopefully not too late to become a national benchmark, and why not say at international level.
