| | Libre Con Salsa...Con Ritmo Vol. 1 CD Libre Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
One of the top salsa albums of the 1970s, Conjunto Libre eschews formulaic patterns that were common in mainstream salsa; bebop elements are welcomed, as well as free, extended musical improvisation, without sacrificing the integrity of the basic Cuban conjunto format. Rogers, Gonzalez, Oquendo, and Dave Valentin make an unbeatable combination. ~ José A. Estévez, Jr.
Includes liner notes by Fred Weinberg.

Turning the covers album concept on its head, Rhythms del Mundo: Cuba doesn't set a varied group of northern artists loose on the music made famous by the Buena Vista Social Club, but instead sets the Club's members lose on the northerners' own songs. Now that's an inspired idea, and all to aid charities assisting the victims of natural disasters and raising awareness of climate change. However, to call this a covers album is a bit misleading, as most of the songs feature the original vocals, and occasionally some of the original instrumentation, but it's not a remix project either, as the Social Club add their own music to the original recordings. So, it's a grand fusion of Cuban and northern sounds. And eclectic to boot, with songs contributed by such international artists ...

Hindugrass was formed in 1998 as an acoustic vehicle for the exploration of commonalities between classical and folk music of Northern India, and the folk and bluegrass styles of the Southeastern U.S. Hindugrass attempts to develop a voice which shares the highly emotive and rhythmically complex qualities common to these geographically distant styles. Using as a point of departure melodic and rhythmic structures from the ragas of Hindustan and songs from the Appalachian tradition, the group is finding a middle ground which reflects their diverse influences and experience.John Heitzenrater - sarodCarolyn Balfe - violinYunior Terry - bassEvan Fraser - morsing, bones, calabash, percussionAustin Wrinkle - tabla, doumbek, udu, kanjira, calabash, percussionBand member bios:John Heitzenrater is a multi-instrumentalist whose performance career spans over two decades and many genres. The instruments on which he is currently featured are sarod, bassoon and guitars, but he has also appeared performing on tabla, ghatam, electric bass, keyboards, and voice. On sarod, Mr. Heitzenrater is a product of the celebrated Maihar-Allaudin Gharana, which traces its lineage to Mian Tansen, court musician of Akbar the Great and the principle progenitor of modern Hindustani classical music. He studied sarod with Pandit Rajeev Taranath, distinguished disciple of Maestro Ali Akbar Khan and one of the world's leading exponents of the sarod, and studied tabla with Lucknow Gharana Maestro Swapan Chaudhuri. He is also versed in the folk music traditions of Macedonia and Bulgaria (thanks to Miroslav Tadic), in Western classical music, and in various American popular traditions including rock, jazz, and bluegrass. In his diverse performance career, he has shared the stage with an array of talented musicians from around the globe. Recent performances include an appearance at the Dalai Lama's World Festival of Sacred Music with master South Indian drummer Poovalur Srinivasan, at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles with chitravina virtuoso N. Ravikiran and master drummers Glen Velez and John Bergamo, and at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood with his cross-cultural acoustic ensembe, Hindugrass. Mr. Heitzenrater earned his Master of Fine Arts degree in Composition and Performance (on sarod, guitar, and bassoon) and his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Multi-Focus Guitar Performance from California Institute of the Arts. In addition to his performance career, ...
