| | Rasheed Ali & Rain People Agua Que VA A Caer CD Rasheed Ali & Rain People Discography of CDs
On "Agua que va a Caer" (Water that is going to Fall), Rasheed Ali has crafted a seamless blend of traditional elements & modern textures to create a new take on Afro-Caribbean music. Inspired by a desire to celebrate the distinctly Afro-Puerto Rican musical form of Bomba, Ali has "channeled" the best elements of his childhood heroes; Rafael Cortijo, Ismael Rivera & Mon Rivera. For years, Afro-Puerto Rican culture has been an afterthought, often mistakenly included under the label of Afro-Cuban. Though the two islands are closely linked, Puerto Rican music does have a distinct story to tell. The music and culture of Puerto Rico is a mixture of several African ethnic groups, (Yoruba, Bantu, Fon, Fulani and Ashanti), Taino Amerindians, Arabs and Europeans. In their quest for cultural preservation, each group added an element to this mosaic. One of Rasheed's great grandfathers was a successful bandleader in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico. His family roots are very representative of the island & the Caribbean region; African, Indian, Spanish and French Corsican. The Northeast coast (where his family resides) is a fertile stronghold of African descendants and culture. Another chapter in his continuing mission to bring together the voices of the African Diaspora, this very personal project is Rasheed's first CD sung entirely in his native Spanish language. With this CD, Rasheed was able to add his voice to a profound Afro-Caribbean cultural continuum that has refused to change after 500 years. If you understand Spanish, you will hear 'a New Black Voice' with a new perspective on Latin American issues and sentiments. If you don't understand a word of Spanish, "Agua que va a Caer" will speak directly to your body and your feet! So be prepared to dance!

ARMANDO RENESONGWRITEROver a period of more than fifteen years, Armando Rene, native of Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, has written an immense variety of musical productions that range from Rock, Funk, Reggae, Ballads and Pop.He discovered his writing talent at the age of 26 when he heard his poems transformed into songs with the help of his first guitar instructor Javier Rojas in the summer of 1990, Cancun, Mexico. As a bilingual songwriter, lyrics and melodies stand out for their passion and human sentiment, with the main themes being love and intimate relations. His lyrics intrigue, relate and give solutions to social, futuristic and fraternal matters. All songs promote the positive aspects of life while maintaining a unique level of sincere metaphoric interest, elusive to vanity and over production. With the collaboration of talented international musicians, songs are born from simple stories, poems and inspired thoughts. ...

THE STUDIO ALBUM opens on a pitch-perfect note with the winsome "Como la Flor," a song that shows off the music's balance of Mexican rhythms with American pop sensibilities. Occasionally interspersed with banter from the incomparable Don Francisco, the tracks on UNFORGETTABLE masterfully showcase the many sides of Selena, from the pure Latin pop of "Fotos y Recuerdos" (a clever take on the Pretenders' "Back on the Chain Gang") to her posthumously released crossover pop hit "Dreaming of You." While there have been many compilations of Selena's singles, UNFORGETTABLE provides a definitive collection of her greatest hits.
While Selena was a stirring singer when captured on record, her biggest appeal lay in her passionate, fiery concert appearances. During her ascendance to the heights of the Tejano music world, which was cut short by her 1995 murder, Selena became a seasoned live performer. UNFORGETTABLE: THE LIVE ALBUM, the counterpart to 2005's UNFORGETTABLE: THE STUDIO ALBUM, marks the 10th anniversary of her death, but it proves her spirit shines on.
Unlike the studio record, the live disc of UNFORGETTABLE concentrates solely on Selena's Spanish-language songs, opening with a moving rendition of "Como la Flor" in front of a responsive Corpus Christi, Texas crowd. The record maintains a swift pace, running from up-tempo ballads such as "Amor Prohibido" to the near-fever pitch of "Cobarde" and the rapturously fun "Bidi Bidi Bom Bom." The gait only slows near the end, on the torch song "Que Crias" and the bolero "No Me Queda Mas," which underscore both the sweet charm and remarkable grit in her potent voice. "No Debes Jugar" nimbly sums up Selena's skills, with its undeniable pop melody bolstered by insistent Mexican instrumentation, while the exceptional singer is neither overpowering nor overshadowed.
In the early 1990s, Selena was the leading star of the rising Tejano musical movement, poised to become a huge pop star after scoring hit after hit on the Latin music charts. Years after her 1995 murder, Selena's fans still carried a torch for the passionate performer, who packed a lifetime of singing into her nearly 24 years. ...
