By: James Strimling of my people. "There has been a concert of free time in which people do not stop dancing." Said Jorge Gomez, pianist and band leader of Timba I found in his first appearance in Charlotte in February two years ago, and think to do it again on 10 and 11 June at the Stage Door Theatre. The musical will be dynamic and public participation to the fullest. "If we do not let them dance, we invite these people to the stage where nobody will bother," said the Cuban musician has been given the task of spreading worldwide timba. On this occasion, the Leisure group pays tribute to American music he listened to hidden in Cuba during his youth on his new album, "My Secret Radio", to be presented to his followers in North Carolina. The lyrics for the sixth album by the Cuban group, have banned music that fueled their desire to live in the United States and includes as guests of the Cuban American Albita and Rachelle Fleming. "We did what we feel and not thinking of selling a million records," said band director, Jorge Gomez, who said the Anglo music secretly listened to because at that time was illegal, influenced "very much "in them, begun by "the desire to leave Cuba." "That music is very danceable, recognized and respected and that, with a little Cuban flavor, it works," said Gomez. On the new album are present the most important rhythms of Cuba and the danzon, son, timba distinguishes them (an intense and sophisticated blend of Latin jazz and Afro-Cuban dance rhythms) and cha-cha "but do not sound as traditional but with more development, which gives the living here. " "What we aim is to tell the world what happens with free time. It is telling how he began the story of our lives in music, "he said. disc and this new series of concerts starting point is the so-called "special period" in Cuba when the Soviet Union collapsed and the subsequent withdrawal of its support to the Caribbean island, which led him to. ..

a period of severe deprivation, the group said.


"In the eighties in Cuba had no communication with the outside, not only with States Together, but with the outside and with an antenna just discovered a wonderful world out there, "he added.


"We wanted the house to better capture higher" radio station with antennas made with aluminum foil and coat hangers, ensuring they opened "a whole world to listen to artists like Michael Jackson, Chaka Kahn and our Gloria Estefan fellow. "


The teens then recorded the music that they liked on tape "that the day we showed in the neighborhood and say 'look what we did, we have the best of music, what you have never heard." It made a very large party of all listening and that gave you a social level. "


From that experience emerged in particular the songs "My antenna" and "Turn on the radio", while "mechanics" refers to the many difficulties encountered in arriving to live in another country. Leisure
