THE SHOW
Musical Background and Complexity of Cuban Music.
If there is one thing to display cuban mentality the best, then it is music and dance. Today, world-wide well-known styles of music, like Rumba, Mambo, Cha Cha Cha and Salsa originate from 4 basic elements, put together by the times.
Originally, despite percussions and claves, there are no other instruments. The integration of melodic instruments developed the today known, commercialised version of the Rumba and other fashionable dances like the Mambo. The interaction of singers and the choir marks the "Son", originator of todays Salsa.
The „Danzon“ has been rejected by the upper class in Cuba for a long time, but is today the most popular dance on the island. The Cha Cha Cha developed out of it. Singers, travelling through the country, used to sing sad and beautiful ballads. During the revolutionary years, the lyrics were changed thematically and used for propaganda. Later, the musicians returned to their original contents.
Today, the „Cuban“ style of music people realize when travelling Cuba, therefore is a synthesis of African percussion with Spanish Coplas and its instrumentalisation. The Son is definitely the most popular one, invented by thesugarcane-harvesters in Santiago during the 1920´s.
Originally, this performance was made for 3 people, accompanied by the Spanish and Latin-American, 3-doublestringed guitar. Claves and Maracas built the rhythm. After and after, with the massive and fast spread of the Son throughout the country, more instruments joined the show: the wooden Bass, Bongos, Marimbulas and in the 1940´s and 50´s Trumpets, coming from traditional American Big-Band.
This builds a complex, polyrhythmic combination of tones, which sounds like the perfect chaos to European ears in the first place. But the defined and unique sounds drag the audience and puts it under a fascinated spell.
„Pasion de Buena Vista“ will let you enjoy this almost culinary, but selected combination of Cuban joy of life.
Pachin Inocencio
was the happiest baby on earth soon after his birth in December 1933, so says his family, when he could join the rehearsals of his parents, just lying in the cradle nearby. Infected by a musical-fever in this early age, 6-year-old Pachin started to play percussion but switched soon to join his mother´s passion for singing. At the age of ten, he already helped numerous Cubans to conquer the hearts of their beloved. For a couple of Pesos, the keen young fellow sang the most beautiful lovesongs under the balcony of a young woman.
During his studies of music he was not only able to develop his talent in singing, but also learned all instruments of cuban music and plays them all until this day.
Even before becoming a big shot in music himself, he met all the big numbers of the cuban scene at an early age. Being 13, he became friends with, at this time, 19-year-old Ibrahim Ferrer, from then on performing together for many years.
Omara Portuondo is also one of Pachin´s colleagues and friends, when they perform together at the Carneval in Santiago de Cuba the crowd goes wild.
Mariela Stiven
was born in 1971 in Jiguaní (Cuba), a small town in the Sierra Meastra. She grew up in an artists family. So music was part of her life from the very beginning. Through her father who was a popular singer and guitarist in Bayamo she finally discovered her love for the Music. In 1989 she met one of the most famous Cuban composers Cándido Fabré, whose songs has been also performed by Celia Cruz and Oscar D'León. Fabré was so excited by the incredible talent of the young girl that he supported her professional education.
Marielas career took off and she performed on many different festivals like for example on the Festival del Changui, the Musica National de Bayamo, the Sindo Garay and many more. She quickly was known as “La Morena del Son” and was awarded with 19 prizes over the years. Mariela also had the opportunity to share the stage with the unique artists Ibrahim Ferrer & Pío Leyva, which led to a loyal friendship that lasted until their death.
Marielas most honourable moment was as Omara Portuondo personally announced her as her official successor representing the Cuban Music in the world.
Dariel Lopez
began a musical education on a music school in Havana at the age of 16. Because of his huge success in Cuba and permanent demanding for a live performance, he broke up his education after 8 month.
In insider circles Dariel is known for several years as THE young talent in the Latin American Music scene.
Due his convincingly gig on “Festival Internacional del Son” – a well-known Event in Santiago de Cuba – the producer of “Pasión de Buena Vista” Uwe Dannbacher became aware of the newcomer. Uwe did his almost to win Dariel for the upcoming European tour and the associated studio recordings.
