THE FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL CERVANTINO IN GUANAJUATO, MÉXICO BY ANA CERVANTES - Ana cervantes, Concert pianist Guanajuato, MexicoBy Teatro Principal, the Teatrocervantes, the Patio Prats, Alejandro Rodríguez, and ignacio Piñeiro; two http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/travel/acervantes/acguanajatomusic3.html

MUSIC FROM CUBA THE FESTIVAL INTERNACIONAL CERVANTINO By Ana Cervantes Her Bio Her Email (Ana Cervantes received a Fulbright-Garcia Robles Award, a joint project of the governments of Mexico and the United States, administered in Mexico, by COMEXUS (the COmmittee MEXico-US). She is living and teaching in the city of Guanajuato and will share her views and experiences in a Mexico Connect mini-series, "The Music of Mexico." These articles were written for Classical New Jersey, the journal of the Classical New Jersey Society, and are reprinted here with permission.) Guanajuato is, and has been for a long time, a centre of culture and education. In one way or another, it has always been prosperous, either through the richness of its farmland or its mines. There was the money to support cultural activities and the desire on the part of the rich mining families and hacendados, I imagine, to live a life that included music and theater and the appurtenances of the cultivated middle and upper class. So, for a city that is small by US standards (73,000 inhabitants), it is rich in exceptional performance venues for music, dance, and theater. There is an abundance of museum and exhibit space, as well as in general everyday public living spaces. It seems to me that almost every other street has its small plazuela or at least a little place with a nice bench where you can sit and take a breather. This is partly the European heritage which is so evident in many parts of Mexico, but also due to the fact that many private living quarters, except for those of the fairly rich, are what most middle class US citizens would deem unacceptably small.

El compositor e investigador cubano Carlo Borbolla (1902-1990) afirma que el básico, seminal y siempre presente "tresillo cubano" (una semifusa, una fusa y otra semifusa, seguida ésta por dos fusas) apareció cuando los músicos populares interpretaban erróneamente, desde un punto de vista rímico, el tresillo europeo, el cual era un enunciado rítmico de dos contra tres en cómputo de tiempo igual. El siglo diecinueve es testigo de la rápida evolución de esa música danzable rítmicamente dife-rente de los modelos europeos, la cual ejerce una influencia decisiva en las sofisticadas obras de piano de Saumell y de Ignacio Cervantes (1847-1905), así como en la música fuertemente romántica de Nicolás Ruiz Espadero (1832- 1890). Es tambien durante este siglo diecinueve que Cuba produce sus primeros instrumentistas de renombre internacional, del pianista José Manuel ("Lico") Jiménez (1855-1917) y de la pianista y compositora Cecilia Aritzi (1856-1930) a los violinistas Claudio José Domingo Brindis de Salas (1852-1911) y José White (1836-1912).

Films Events / Panels Tickets and Passes Become a Sponsor ... Contact PRESS RELEASE CLASSICAL CUBA - PIANIST VICTOR RODRIGUEZ AT THE NATIONAL ARTS CLUB Born in Havana, Cuba, Victor Rodriguez, showed notable signs of his sensitivity toward music from a very early age. Winning 5th Prize and the Special Prize for Artistic Excellence at the P.I. Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in 1986, positioned him among the elite pianists of his generation. His academic formation, guided by Frank Fernandez, was firmly grounded in the values of the Russian School and the traditions of the Cuban technique. Thus the originality with which he encompasses the different styles and composers, as well as his youthfulness, passion and ability to communicate with the audience. "… In an age where technical prowess is the most regarded of pianistic qualities, his generous execution and passion is more like that of the last romantic artists that, like Horowitz, disappear from our musical horizon. Victor has performed his very demanding repertoire, which includes some of the most important works of the greatest composers, on the stages of Europe, South America, South Africa, Mexico and Japan. Victor Rodriguez is nothing like the perfectly gifted and standardized pianists of this century whom impose their own execution style and result in being: exact, objective and dispassionate. On the contrary, Rodriguez compels the attention of the audience with a certain magnetism and an emotional quality that he projects genuinely and sincerely.

Edward Simon Pianist Edward Simon speaks of three elements in his past, each of which show up in uncanny ways in his music today. He grew up in the coastal town of Cardon, Venezuela, in a musical family. He came to the United States in 1984 to study classical music. And by the time he was in his late teens, he was traveling the world as a sideman to prominent Jazz and Latin musicians. All of these experiences - or musical roots - find a home in his contemporary work. While he may be considered as part of a new generation of 'multilingual' musicians who have grown up studying classical, Jazz and Latin-American music, the 29-year-old pianist is inventing a language that transcends any rigid genre. The sincerity of this effort is apparent on his latest release.

Library : Composers : Vitier José María Vitier, José María ( b José María Vitier is a remarkable composer and pianist who with his compositions for piano, orchestra and chamber and jazz ensembles has invented a unique form of music, a blending of traditional and popular forms of Cuban music. His work, highly original and seeped in the atmosphere of Cuba, is included in the repertoires of all the major Cuban performers and musical groups.Born in 1954, José María Vitier is one of his country's best-known composers recognised as much for the high quality of his work as for the popularity achieved by several instrumental themes. Jose María Vitier has widened his activities on the international scene and been resoundingly successful at festivals such as the New York Latino (1985), the Mexico Cervantino (1986, 1989, 1993, 1997), the Montreal International Festival of Jazz, the Du Maurier Ltd Downtown Toronto Jazz Festival (1991), the Bordeaux Afro-Caribbean Festival in France and the MIDEM 96 Festival in Cannes, Massachusetts International Festival of Arts (1998), International Festival of Music in Santiago do Compostel (1999), as well as in tours of other American countries and Europe. Jose María Vitier's music bears the influence of jazz and Cuban music in general as well as the creative assimilation of the "classical" European tradition and the pianist heritage of Cuban composers such as Manuel Saumell, Ignacio Cervantes and Alejandro Garcia Caturla. It could be said that the originality of his music lies in drawing together from the various genres in which it has its roots, those sounds which are closest and most attractive to us. It represents a new form of Cuban music and has given us a composer and pianist who like Lecuona in years past, presents us with the spectacle of a virtuosity and originality whose essence is to be found in the deep and universal roots of Cuban music throughout the ages.

Back to the Spanish-language Cuban section - Back to the Home Page A Brief Overview of Cuban Music By AURELIO DE LA VEGA Cuban music is born from the rich amalgamation of Spanish folk music formulas and African rhythms, the latter brought to Cuba by the black slaves. (A very minor French influence -mainly Rameau-like dance patterns- brought by Haitian slaves and subsequently by white French plantation owners fleeing the slave revolt in Haiti, emerged in Santiago de Cuba, but was soon diluted and amounted to nothing). The phenomenal richness of Spanish folklore, mixed with the vigor of African music, created and explosive and exuberant musical tapestry. If harmonically or formally Cuban music has not invented anything original, melodically and rhythmically it has produced a staggering collection of easily recognizable patterns, which, as stated before, have traveled throughout the planet. White also wrote works for piano, for harpsichord and orchestra, and for string quartet, his fame as a composer resting on a notable violin concerto and on the ever popular La Bella Cubana for violin and piano (later for voice and piano).

Artist: Frank Emilio Title: Ancestral Reflections Street Date: November 2, 1999 Genre: Cuban Jazz Length: Biography: T There is more than a little poetic irony in the fact that among the most perceptive insights into the expansive traditions of 19th and 20th Century Cuban music are those provided by an aging, sightless musician whose shot at global fame comes late in life. Although a father figure of legendary stature among the extended family of Cuban musicians, pianist Frank Emilio's remarkable musicianship and keen sense of melding innovation and tradition have, unfortunately, remained largely outside the glare of the international spotlight of attention that has, in recent years, focused on Cuban culture. T he release of Ancestral Reflections , his new album on Blue Note, may just change all that. Emilio and his hand-picked group of equally accomplished Cuban virtuosos, Los Amigos, add further sonic texture to our appreciation of the music that has captured the world's ear. In the company of such respected musicians as percussionists Federico Arístides "Tata Guines" Soto, Jose Luis "Changuito" Quintana and bassist William Rubalcaba, Emilio and his ensemble swing confidently through a program that expertly blends the cool, delicate sonorities of a concert hall engagement with the rhythmic heat of el barrio F rom sweet, lilting
