World Music. September 28th.

Celebration Friday, but especially Music Festival Friday, as Godo, captain of this musical journey, likes to think that this program is. We begin the celebration with Festival by th Icelandic band, Sigur Róssigur Rós, meaning Victory Rose. These Icelandic knows how to play post-rock, mixing shoegazing and minimalism elements. The band is known for its ethereal sound and the falsetto voice of  the singer Jon Thor Birgisson. One of the most famous national anthems is La Marsellesa, written in 1792 by the military Lisle Rouget. This time we had the opportunity to hear the voice of one of the most celebrated singers of the twentieth century, Édith Piaf, whom has owed ​​many francophone repertoire songs like La Vie en Rose, Hymne à l'amour, Mon légionnaire and La Foule, known worldwide. World music is the name of this program and its reason is that we visit every mile of latitude to another from the world with music.  From France we go to Venezuela, with the song Bulerillo by Huascar Barradas, creator of the Venezuelan new style called neo- folklore. Also from Venezuela, but with other nuances, we listen to Supermarket by Aldemaro Romero, pianist, composer, arranger and conductor of the Venezuelan orchestra. This melody is made of common sounds and words we listen when we go to the supermarket, he is a genius. Finally, from Latin America we went to Spain with Pedro Amorim and the song Violão Tenor, played on an almost obsolete guitar and tenor guitar. Almost half this program, we listen to the band Quetzal, a bilingual Chicano rock band from East Los Angeles, California founded by the guitarist Quetzal Flores. From Los Angeles to Veracruz, with huapango  Yo como muchos me fui  by William Velasquez and Los Leones de la Sierra de  Xichu. Then we enjoyed La Paloma  by Juan Arvizu, a Mexican singer called El tenor de la voz de seda (Tenor with voice of silk). Now that we are already in Mexico, Lila Downs played Mezcalito, part of their new album Pecados y milagros. In a penultimate part of this program, we listened Tawargit by Ofra Aza, Yemeni pop performer. From Africa we presented Prince Diabaté, he comes from a prominent family, Malide Guinea, located in West Africa. And to continue,  we were pleased with Sanseverino, fusion music made in France with a touch of swing. At the end of this program we all danced with Colombian music; Cumbia Sampuesana  by José Joaquín Betín Martínez. Then, from Veracruz, we listened to La Guacamaya by La negra Graciana Silva, Mexican singer and harpist interpreter of Jarocho. We visited Spain for the second time but now listening to Noches de boda  by the singer-songwriter and poet, Joaquin Sabina, from the album dedicated to Chavela Vargas, named La Chamana. We also had a delicate flirtation with ranchera music and ended with jarocho called Que voy a hacer  by Borja Alonso. A slight jump because we went back to Colombia from Veracruz accompanied by Andres Landeros and Vallenato Social Club, funded in South American, who performed Virgen de la Candelaria. Finally, we heard a song dedicated to one of the most beautiful harbors in the country, I mean Mazatlan, a song called Mike Laure.
