Is It Normal For A Puppy To Have Black Poo?

Saving genre Avenged Sevenfold

By Luis Paz. Culture & Entertainment - Página/12, April 9, 2011 .- There is a kind of modern, urban folklore, which resulted from the integration of black rhythms, indigenous instruments and lyrical and melodic native language. This tri-ethnic folklore is the cumbia, a generic arc born of hybridization between spiritual and pagan sound languages, tropical and cowboys, but always peripheral, being the American South and even more for not having occurred in the territories "core" regional art . Cumbia was headquartered in Colombia, Peru a branch decorated with weeds traditional shamanism and anguish of domination, and in Santa Fe, Argentine space open borders. But in either case, it is a large-scale folklore that was lost in other rural folklore and rural natives imported: the country, rock'n'roll and reggae, to name just three. "La cumbia has been one of the most unfair treatment in the history of modern music," said Olivier Conan, leader of the revisionist group of Amazonian cumbia Chicha Libre, when he published his first album, Sound Amazon! , Argentina, just over a year. A point of playing here at the third International Folklore Festival of Buenos Aires, adds: "It is impudent to deny that the white West capped the rich and spiritual expression, almost to make it disappear."

Chicha Libre is a multiethnic combo of musicians emerged from the club that Conan regentea in Brooklyn, New York. Curious kinetic power and psychedelic Latin music, whose origin was at the crossroads of rural landscapes with use (re) creative weeds and traditional instruments as raw material for their build-enabled environment, the French musician traveled to Peru in the past decade and was amazed that in Lima discs were sold on the street. Bought a lot of bands like The Sparkles, The Blackbirds, The Hijos del Sol, Juaneco and Eusebio y Su Combo and His Banjo, exponents of chicha, an expression derived from the Colombian cumbia, but originally interpreted with Andean instruments. The chicha had its final transformation as rural workers in the Peruvian Amazon knew the sound aesthetic of the dance clubs of shoal of Lima, where the garage and surf music have arrived with tourists, explorers and traders, putting on stage the Farfisa organ and reverb amplification equipment. "In the 40s and even 60's, America had the best music, the latest in the world, concludes this musician, producer and researcher. But when The rock appeared as a gesture of modernity, was almost forgotten. "

Conan adheres to the theory that once the U.S. realized that during the so-called British invasion was importing its own folklore from the United Kingdom (rock'n'roll revisited by The Beatles and the blues is based on the Rolling Stones), the local industry will take notice that he could rebuild the outside and export. So it was that the American industry stood placidly on paper Music pivot between the North and South, East and West. "However, I feel that the loss of the cumbia and folklore have been a direct intention United States (refers more to your industry), but it is true that American culture made changes and apparent needs in the rest of America that replaced-evaluated. The interesting thing is that they are different generations, who grew up in the mixture, which now make music in the United States, and are more friendly and supportive. "

Access to universal musical history provided by Internet not only rescued Music Recent approached them young pop culture of the past half century, also brought up the influences of such movements, largely based on folklore and Crusaders aggiornamiento an effective new music (reggae, folk, gospel and African American music, among others). A typical case is Vampire Weekend, the band of New York in February showed the possibility of reading the pulse of pop afro key in Buenos Aires. "New York is not America, that's why I like it. For 25 years, as a cosmopolitan city, New York will pay attention to the music of Africa and South America," says Conan, and it could locate Rei Momo - that the leader of Talking Heads, David Byrne, conducted in 1989 with American music and dance, this foundational work of revisionism.

But more than a mirror of an age band, Chicha Libre is a medium: one of the few ways left to listen live this music whose major artists have died in poverty and disease. "What matters to me more than if the audience is delighted with Chicha Libre, is opening the door to the music that is theirs, which is Latin America. I know it's odd that a Frenchman and an American to do so, but no many options. There were three studies that chicha was recorded, but not more. The stamps dedicated to her either and last time no new artists emerged. There are no clubs in Lima chicha, but in rock, which speaks for itself. But the sound root (root) and the original artists are still around in cushy positions in the streets and online. " In

rescue plan, this musician was cured in 2007, compiled The Roots Of Chicha - Psychedelic Cumbias From Peru and preparing a second volume. With its signature Barbès Records released also the most traditional Juaneco y Su Combo, chicha artist's most renowned and trajectory. It is logical to expect a new album of Chicha Libre, a group that creates new songs and does not stagnate in the tribute: "In those three years we rotate a lot and strengthened as chicha musicians. We improve as musicians, but the important thing is that our look is not so naïve. We know better what it is chicha and better understand psychedelic experience, "admits the visible face of this group that debuted in Buenos Aires yesterday with a show at Niceto Club, as part of a party.

The

today will be a different show: Chicha Libre will raise the scenario that will be mounted on the Paseo del Bosque (lanes 1 and 53, La Plata), as part of a festival that will bring Teresa Parodi, Gustavo Santaolalla The duo Coplanacu, Eva Ayllon and Elpidio Herrera, among many other artists who until Sunday he will frame this musical festival dedicated to the region and its music. "I know from reading the Latin American folklore not only consists of beautiful songs, but essentially of protest songs. Looking at America from outside, openness is essential that occurred in recent years, the achievements of progressive government and claims. That is real democracy, not the United States, "Conan closes.
