Pastora

Des styles italiens novateurs comme l'opéra et l'oratorio, tous deux ayant pour base les mêmes concepts rhétoriques, se sont répandus très rapidement à travers toute l'Europe et c'est dans les régions de langue allemande que les modèles furent développés avec le plus d'ardeur. Le programme de ce CD Sanctum Desiderium est une soigneuse sélection de compositions allemandes du dix-septième siècle qui expriment un désir sacré en le traduisant aussi par des images musicales.

Radio Tarifa was a Spanish World music ensemble combining Flamenco, Arab-Andalusian music, Arabian music, Moorish music and also influences of the Mediterranean, of the Middle Ages and of the Caribbean. The name of the ensemble comes from an imaginary radio station in Tarifa, a small town in the southernmost Spanish province of Cadiz, Andalusia, the nearest part of Spain to Morocco. Instead of simply fusing musical styles as they currently exist, Radio Tarifa goes back in time to the common past of those styles, back to before 1492 when the Moors and Jews were exiled from Spain. This invented style sheds light upon the real styles of Spain, most notably flamenco although the band rejected all musical purism, preferring to mix arrangements of traditional compositions with their own melodies and combining instruments from Ancient Egypt, classical Greek and Roman times with modern saxophones and electric bass.

Compilation album with 12 folk items of 'salsa' music from Antilles. Among the performers on the CD appears preferentially 'Jorge Cabrera y su Tres', with nine tracks, along with the Dominican 'Che Che Abreu', the Catalan group 'Doble R' and the Canary 'Grupo Sancocho'.

Another great recordings by Cuban pianist, composer, arranger and bandleader Dionisio Ramon Emilio Valdés (Cuba, 1918-2013), aka 'Bebo Valdés'. The album was recorded in New York in four sessions during March 2001, when Bebo was already 82 years old. This album earned the win in the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Traditional Tropical Latin Album. Together with his piano Bebo is accompanied by Israel López 'Cachao' (bass) and fellow veteran Carlos 'Patato' Valdes with congas and percussion. Additionally, in three of the issues involved with alto sax and clarinet the instrumentalist Paquito D'Rivera, noted for his sophisticated solos.

New version of the Paco de Lucía Integral, 27 CDs his complete work remastered. "Cositas Buenas", his last album, comes as a new in this new Integral. Now in a new economic format. This collection is a unique tour of the work of Paco de Lucia from 1964 to 2004. Following the positive reception for Almoraima, although busy with his concerts with Santana, Paco still found time to present his personal vision of Manuel de Falla, selecting from the work of the composer from Cádiz those pieces most adaptable to the Flamenco melos (Flamenco melody). He takes pieces from the ballets El Amor Brujo and El Sombrero de Tres Picos, from the opera La Vida Breve, and one of the Siete Canciones Populares. The adaptation of these works is viewed through the prism of respect to the maestro, with the intention of serious application, though without stylistic restrictions, with the goal that the result be as Flamenco possible, an art for which Falla professed great admiration.
