Amor Cubano presents:

XIOMARA LAUGART
Live!

Special Guest
Pedro Martinez.

Xiomara Laugart first came to fame here in the U.S. as the lead singer of the new-wave Grammy-nominated Latin funk band Yerba Buena and her star-turn in the Broadway premiere production of Celia: The Life & Music of Celia Cruz.

Since these milestones Xiomara's solo performances are marked by her soulful singing and accomplished virtuosity. She has the skill to perform either a cappella or with a full band; nostalgia and the contemporary sounds of today mix seamlessly when it comes to Xiomara's music.

Over the years Xiomara has performed at venues all over the world and with some of the biggest talents in the music industry. at venues around the globe for years and along the biggest talents all over.

In her native Cuba she is a living-legend having recorded more than 15 albums. For many years, Xiomara Laugart La Negra as she is popularly known, was Muse to the Nueva Trova artists. Xiomara is both the essence of the old Cuba, with its rhythmic folk songs, fused with a blend of todays directness and clarity of voice, which is eventually matched with her deep laugh. It is that distinctive laugh that has captivated audiences from all walks of life with her swing style in all of her Cuban splendor.

Xiomara is gifted with an impressive vocal range with allows her a lot of freedom and an ability to straddle numerous genres simultaneously. She has recorded and/ or performed along names such as: Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Albita, Isaac Delgado, Carlinhos Brown, MeShell Ndegeocello, Femi Kuti, DAngelo, Erykah Badu & many more.

Pedro Martinez began performing at the age of 11, where he played and sang in comparsa groups in school. Born and raised in Cuba, he had the unique opportunity to work with numerous Afro-Cuban groups, such as Yoruba Andabo, Obba Ilu, Tata Guines, Changuito, Anga and many others. He also recorded several albums, one of which was entitled "Guemilere", which was produced by Roman Diaz, as well as the group Los Nani.

Pedro also had the opportunity to travel to Costa Rica, France, Spain, and the Canary Islands, and came to the United States in July 1998 after performing with saxophonist Jane Bunnett at the Canadian Jazz Festival in Toronto.

Join us once again at Amor Cubano's Noche de Trova for an evening that truly captures the essence of real Cuban home cooking in a setting that brings together both the classic golden age of Cuba with a more young, hip and sexy atmosphere full of music, dancing, singing and performance art.

El Barbaro del Ritmo Cubano , en este Clip de pelicula.

dYmsJgYsvN4

il son cubano si suona da un minimo di una perzona al massimo di 6 (septetto),la versione orchestrale del son si chiama mambo(quello che oggi viene definito in maniera generica salsa),il son viene dalle campagne di santiago de cuba,il mambo dai saloni elegantissimi di havana anni 50,quindi la differenza e' musicale(son popolare+orchestra=mambo=salsa )ma si possono sempre ballare pressapoco alla stessa maniera ,chiaro il son è piu' morbido e dolce il mambo è piu duro e irruento ,nel video un ottimo ballerino che secondo i canoni di tanti sprovveduti ed ignioranti sta' ballando portoricano,ebbene no lui sta ballando il mambo&son cubano,caso mai sono i portoricani che ballano il mambo&son cubano a loro modo ma comunque assai somigliante a quello di cuba (il contrabassista è il maestro cachao israel loopez,il signore che suona il bongò è il famoso attore andy garcias entrambi cubani immigrati a new york ,guardate il films the lost city ,la citta perduta dedicata alla vecchia havana anni 50 )il modello autentico e originale della salsa è lo stile son&mambo cubano,il casino havanero(quello che oggi i cubani intendono per ballo salsa ) che si balla in coppia o in rueda deriva dal mambo&son cubano,la salsa de puertorico,la new york,la venezuelana & colonbiana,la los angeles,la italiana,derivano dal mambo & son cubano ,tra queste versioni alternative al modello originale(che rimane il top mi riferisco al son&mambo de cuba anni 50) la migliore a mio gusto è quella di new york & puertorico.però sinceramente non vedo nessun problema se alcuni preferiscono per esempio ballare alla colombiana ,la salsa è attualmenete il ballo di coppia piu ballato al mondo ,questo successo suppongo che sia dovuto proprio al fatto che ogniuno di noi puo' personalizare questa splendida cosa,se la salsa fosse un ballo standard come tanti altri finirebbe domani mattina suppongo.Mauricio el mago ci tiene a farvi capire che questa musica è una sola e non è possibile che la gente si divida per una questione di sfaccettature ,è incredibile in italia conosco gente che non ti saluta perche' sanno che balli cubano o viceversa conosco gente che balla cubano che disprezza quelli che ballano portoricano e via non si finisce piu',lo scopo della musica latina è unire le persone no dividerle,la salsa è un insieme di cose ,è come se parliamo di una pietanza ,sicuro è che a molti piace piu' piccante ad altri piu' salato oppure agro oppure dolce ,ma scusate se a vostro zio piace la peperonata che fate ? non gli parlate piu' è assurdo.....rispettate i vostri gusti e quelli degli altri, ballate fate all'amore ridete e scerzate con tutti il resto non conta .Tanto il ritmo i passi fondamentali sono sempre quelli,le sfaccettature ci sono e servono per farci amare anche di piu' la salsa ,perchè è grazie a questo che la salsa ci offre 100000000000 di varieta',e grazie a questo che non ci stancheremo mai di questa musica&balli.Chi non capisce questa cosa massimo dura 3 anni e poi se ne va,non è la salsa che non andava bene,è la persona che aveva una mentalità sbagliata,potrei andare avanti altre 5000 pagine in 15 anni ne ho viste e sentite veramente di tutti i colori,chi ha contribuito maggiormente a questa totale confusione sono i maestri di ballo inprovvisati e senza cultura latina,ogni anno sono in crescita dj che appaiono dal nulla e i maestri ,è strana questa cosa io penzo che nell'ambiente latino se uno oggi diventa dj o maestro suppongo che per qualche anno lo avremo visto nei locali o per lo meno ne avremmo sentito parlare,ci avra' dimostrato le sue capacita',invece no molti si inventano un infallible sistema per convincere a tutti (pubblicita' manifesti sito internet)e vai! praticamente non sai neanche la differenza tra' un timbales e una congas però vendi salsa ecc. questo sistema portera' alla totale assenza di musica latina nei locali nelle scuole di ballo ecc.
