trumpetAlbum Description
Live recording of the performance at the Caroga Lake Music Festival 2022. (English) Each track tells a story that pays homage to salsa musical forms such as Descarga 2, Xipirona Cha-Cha, and the highly energetic tune El Volcan. El Cañaveral explores the mysterious atmosphere of the coastal sugar cane fields by using a bembe groove, sparse percussion in the introduction, slow melodic development, and improvisation. The Caroga Arts String Orchestra joins the group for the last two tracks of the album. Cariño is a slow bolero that speaks about trying to find joy after sorrow and the album closes with Baile Bailekita, a high energetic tribute to Champaign West African Dance teacher Bailekita. (En Español) Grabación en vivo del concierto en el Caroga Lake Music Festival. El disco le hace homenaje a formas musicales de la salsa como en Descarga 2, Xipirona Cha Cha, y el tema energético, El Volcán. El Cañaveral explora el ambiente misterioso en los cañaverales costeros utilizando armonías disonantes al pulso lento que evoca el ritmo africano de sus trabajadores fantasmas. La orquesta de cuerdas del Caroga Arts String Orchestra se une a la banda para el... cierre del álbum. Cariño es un bolero que comienza con una melodía triste, languidecida buscando alegría. El álbum cierra con Baile Bailekita, un tributo energético dedicado a Jean Pierre Bailekita, un maestro de Danza Africana en el pueblo de Champaign, IL.
