Le differenti anime della salsa cubana

Posted on luglio 11th, 2009 di Salsadipendenza

Di Cuba e Puerto Rico si dice spesso che sono di “un pajaro las dos alas”, ovvero di un uccello le due ali. Per molti secoli la loro storia si è evoluta quasi all’unisono, poi ha preso cammini completamente diversi che rispecchiano oggi due realtà sociali quasi agli antipodi.

Ma i latini ballano come noi?

Posted on luglio 9th, 2009 di Salsadipendenza

Alle volte capita di sentire alcune persone lamentarsi del fatto che si trovano a disagio a ballare con i latino-americani.
“Ma cosa ho imparato a scuola?“,
“Loro non ballano come noi!“,
“Noi facciamo tanti giri, loro no!“,
“Loro ballano con sabor perché sentono la musica, noi facciamo ginnastica!”
Sono frasi queste che si sentono molto spesso [...]

    • Marc Anthony 5 settembre 2010
      If Ricky Martin is the Latin crossover star that wears tight leather and does Pepsi ads, Marc Anthony is the one wearing the black silk and smoking a cigarette. Anthony established himself in the '90s as a contemporary Salsa superstar, and more recently, his English crossover recordings have expanded his overall audience. Universally respected for his c […]
    • Celia Cruz 6 settembre 2010
      As Salsa's greatest icon, Cruz garnered all sorts of respect, from a Smithsonian lifetime achievement award to her own street in Miami, to the title "The Queen of Salsa." Her singing is deep and soulful, with expressive improvisations influenced by her Cuban upbringing. You're expected to dance to her music, with its jumping piano chords […]
    • Gilberto Santa Rosa 8 luglio 2010
      Gilberto Santa Rosa became a salsero the old-fashioned way: he worked for it. Unlike younger crops of singers who are pretty faces first and singers second, Santa Rosa came on the scene in the 1970s. He climbed up through the ranks, putting in time with unknown orchestras and, when he was lucky, with bigger names like the Puerto Rico All-Stars, Tommy Olivenc […]
    • Hector Lavoe 30 agosto 2010
      He started out as a skinny 17-year-old from Puerto Rico on the streets of New York, hungry and ready to sing. He ended both a celebrity and a broken man, wasted by a long struggle with drug abuse, personal tragedies and AIDS. Born Hector Juan Perez in Ponce, Puerto Rico, in 1946, Lavoe pursued singing as a kid, gigging with a 10-piece band by the time he was […]
    • Willie Colon 5 luglio 2010
      Willie Colon was there during the 1960s when Salsa, as it eventually became known, was in its developing stages. As part of a young generation of "Nuyoricans" (Puerto Ricans from New York City) along with Eddie Palmieri and Ray Baretto, he helped create this new, vibrant form of music based on the Cuban "conjunto" sound. As a trombone pla […]
    • Tito Puente 2 settembre 2010
      Most of the rock generation is familiar with Tito Puente through Santana's cover of "Oye Como Va" and his appearance in The Mambo Kings. By venturing closer to the source, they will discover what Latin jazz fans have known for years: Puente's intoxicating mix of Big Band jazz and Latin music creates Mambo madness at its finest. Tito Puent […]
    • Fania All-Stars 22 giugno 2010
      Fania was the New York City record label that first and foremost promoted Salsa as a new musical form. In 1970, they organized a weekend of concerts featuring most of the artists on the label playing long jams, or "descargas," of their hits. Ray Barretto, Celia Cruz, Willie Colon, and Hector Lavoe were joined by Eddie Palmieri, Tito Puente and othe […]
    • Frankie Ruiz 30 agosto 2010
      Although he was born in New Jersey, it wasn't until Frankie Ruiz moved to Puerto Rico that he was reborn as one of the 20th century's great salsa stars. After stints with Orquesta La Solucion and the Tommy Olivencia orchestra, Ruiz became one of the most sought-after solo salsa singers. He was a champion of salsa romantica, and brought that sensual […]
    • India 15 agosto 2010
      She doesn't have a voice on the order of her hero, Celia Cruz, but India's passionate, emotive delivery has secured her a place in the salsa pantheon. She's toured and recorded with Eddie Palmieri, flirted with pop and even sung jazz standards on a 1996 release. - Sarah Bardeen
