About the Garifuna Collective:

https://www.garifunacollective.com

Since its inception the Garifuna Collective has consistently provided a uniquely rewarding experience – Garifuna music and dance performed by composers and musicians who push the boundaries of their dynamic, centuries old musical traditions and make it accessible to an enthusiastic worldwide audience.

And now the Garifuna Collective featuring the Umalali women singers continues to break new ground with performances that leave no doubt as to why UNESCO, in 2001, officially proclaimed the language, dance, and music of the Garifuna people of Central America as a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity”.

The band consists of the best musicians in the fertile Garifuna music scene. They bring together the deep cultural roots of Garifuna music, mixed with modern grooves, arrangements, and instruments. Unique hand drums, the “primera” and “segunda”, turtle shells and jawbones, guitars and bass. The musicians create a powerful energy on stage, building hypnotizing rhythms that form the backbone for the haunting melodies and powerful vocals that characterize the project.

The Garifuna Collective has performed in over 25 countries including the U.S., Canada, France, and Germany, and has produced one of the most celebrated Garifuna albums of all time, the acclaimed Wátina, recipient of WOMEX and BBC World Music Award, and voted by Amazon as the Number One World Music Album of All Time.

‘Otras historia’ se toma las tablas del evento Fuerza Fest

Sandra Escallón — Wed, 24 May 2017 21:52:56 +0000

La obra de teatro ‘Otra historia’ fue una de las 8 obras presentadas en la segunda edición del primer y único festival dedicado a la comunidad LGBTQ: Fuerza Fest. La obra de la compañía Group of The Arts realizó el estreno mundial durante el evento con una historia donde la santería, las relaciones de pareja, los miedos y la confusión de identidad fueron el eje para educar a la comunidad sobre los problemas que pueden existir dentro de la comunidad latina y la LGBTQ.

‘Otra historia’ del autor cubano Pedro Monge Rafuls y bajo la dirección de Edgar Mozoub relata la historia de José Luis, un hombre que se encuentra en medio de una confusión de identidad sexual al estar envuelto en dos relaciones, una con su novia Marina, y la otra con su amante Marquito. Dentro de la historia el público puede presenciar los rituales y costumbres detrás de la santería, una religión con influencias africanas y practicada principalmente en Cuba. Tambores, bailes, rezos, rituales y la influencia de los dioses orishas hacen que la historia de la obra pase por diferentes fases de amor, celos, tragedia, drama y espiritualidad.

Por un lado, se encuentra Changó, el dios que desde el comienzo de la obra se enoja con José tras su relación amorosa con Marquito. Ochún, por su parte, la diosa del amor, celebra la relación de los dos hombres. La influencia de estos dos dioses, la religión, las reuniones con el padrino de José y algunas amistades hacen que los personajes de este triángulo amoroso actúen de una manera que podría cambiar sus vidas para siempre. En medio de esta controversia, se percibe la influencia social y religiosa en la vida de una persona y como las creencias a ciertos rituales pueden llevar a alguien, como José, a no estar seguro de su sexualidad y entrar a un estado de presión y frustración.

También es interesante ver el comportamiento de Marina, una mujer insegura que convierte su amor por José Luis en un sentimiento dañino que podría llevarla a actuar de una manera extremista. “Yo hago de Marina, la protagonista, ella todo lo deja al extremo, ama al extremo, siente al extremo, y a veces no piensa, y no ve ese punto extremo, y se deja llevar más por lo que siente”, nos expresa Mayté Hernández.

La obra se presentó en el Julia de Burgos Cultural Center, un centro ubicado en uno de los barrios latinos más importantes en Nueva York y de gran influencia artística y cultural para la comunidad latinoamericana. Un espacio importante para hablar de temáticas que han afectado por años a la comunidad LGBTQ quienes han luchado por sus derechos y la igualdad. Para Hernández presentar la obra en el festival fue una oportunidad importante para educar y cambiar. “Especialmente en esta ciudad donde hay tantas culturas, tanta gente de distintas ideologías, sexualidades, es tan importante porque aunque aún estamos expuestos a tanta diversidad se necesita más educación, se necesita ver más ese otro punto de vista”, explica Mayté. “Por eso yo creo que esta obra es importante porque no solamente habla de la comunidad latina, sino también expone esa otra ideología de esa comunidad ‘gay’ que se ha visto en llamas, es importante introducir estos temas para que la gente vea que esta es la realidad y esto es lo que está pasando, y así las futuras generaciones también aprenden”, añadió.

En la capital del mundo residen personas de diferentes países latinoamericanos, y es interesante ver plasmada esta idea en ‘Otra historia’, ya que cada uno de sus personas vienen de diferentes raíces. En el elenco pudimos ver una gran actuación del venezolano César Cova (José Luis), la puertorriqueña Mayté Hernández (Marina), el peruano Mario Saldaña (Marquito), el venezolano Luis Alberto García (el padrino), la dominicana Damiana Reyes (Teresa) y el colombiano Victor Echavarria.

El festival resaltó los temas como la identidad, los estereotipos, la homofobia, entre otros a través de exhibiciones, arte, cine y obras increíbles como ‘Otra historia’. Un festival que le hizo tributo a las víctimas y sobrevivientes de la tragedia en un club de Orlando y que nos recuerda la importancia de unirnos más y juzgar menos. El grupo de la obra espera seguir llevando esta historia a otros lugares. “Una vez se acabe el festival hemos hablado de presentarla nuevamente pero esta vez en su forma completa, ya que tuvimos que hacer unos cambios”, concluyó Mayté.

El cantante Paul McCartney regresa a España después de 12 años de ausencia

MY Lifestyle Magazine — Fri, 03 Jun 2016 11:29:24 +0000

Pocas veces se ha podido disfrutar de la música de Paul McCartney en España, la última hace 12 años en Madrid, ciudad que hoy vuelve a recibirle con un repertorio igualmente poco transitado por el británico, que regresa reconciliado con su pasado, incluida su etapa con The Beatles.

El estadio Vicente Calderón se prepara para recibir su nueva gira, “One on one”, en la que predominan el buen karma y los temas de los “Fab Four”: no menos de dos docenas de canciones en tres horas de rock and roll en las que llega a tocar cerca de 40 temas.

“Está totalmente reconciliado con su pasado, consigo mismo y con su repertorio, nunca he visto un Paul tan en forma y emotivo”, comentaba hace unos días su promotor en España, Pino Sagliocco, de Live Nation, para quien este es “el mejor momento” para disfrutar de McCartney.

En la velada, que se abrirá a partir de las 21,30 horas con “A hard day’s night”, según se ha visto en los conciertos previos, permitirá disfrutar de otros éxitos de The Beatles como “Can’t buy me love” o “Hey Jude”.

Habrá oportunidad para rendirle sentidos recuerdos a George Martin, emblemático productor de los discos del cuarteto, así como a su excompañeros John Lennon y George Harrison y a su exmujer Linda.

No se olvidará tampoco de su etapa con Wings (se espera que suenen “Band on the run” y “Live and let die”), ni de sus años en solitario, ni siquiera de sus últimas producciones, como “FourFiveSeconds”, que grabó junto a Rihanna y Kanye West.

“Esta será la vez que haga historia, de la que se hablará en España en los años venideros”, advierte su promotor ante un concierto para el que aún hoy quedan entradas, tanto de pista como de grada.
