Holy shit! This is one of those things that make me feel proud of being latinamerican. Terrific interpretation of the Machito classic, I just can't stop of smiling and moving my feet.

[MusicFromPeru]

wow ! this is heavy duty !

[noivalencia]

wow.....!



[SheRicoSuave]

I love Bobby Sanabria! I went to his master clinic last weekend in Eau Claire during the jazz festival. He's a sweetheart!

[Kursevalify]

@SheRicoSuave I also saw him there! And about a week later I saw him in New York at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola. It was AMAZING.

[SonOfDune]

@chapinrey You make a good point. I'm glad you respect musicians and their various contributions. I just can't stand it when people use this open forum to spread vulgar insults at something that is positive and educational. que viva cuba y puerto rico.

[SonOfDune]

@chapinrey your vitriolic comments have no basis. you should stop riding cuba so hard especially since bobby has played in cuba with cubans and is historian on latin jazz. if you are any kind of fan of music you should appreciate young college students for paying homage and interpreting classics in a modern way but all you can do is hate. it's sad. you don't bring new information or bring people together. you paint latinos as bickering know it alls who yearn for undeserving credit. you jive

[SonOfDune]

@RomancesyBoleros if all you can do is talk shit about ny students who are learning the rythms for the first time then stay in cuba. you are talking about bands and groups from cuba without giving any info on who they are or where they perform. you don't make cuban groups look good you make yourself look like an asshole who can't appreciate the fact that ricans and other ethnicities play the music. these students worked hard and put on a good show to a full house.

[SonOfDune]

@RomancesyBoleros eat a dick. stop hating on a fellow latino trying to elevate the culture.

[SonOfDune]

@RomancesyBoleros by the way brush up on your history. yes cuba was the first one to make the rythms with small bands and conjuntos but what msm and bobby are playing is big band style latin jazz developed in new york city by machito and mario bauza. you need to stop sippin that haterade and making latinos look like bickering jack offs.  you sound like 12 year old justin bieber fans hating on a talented artist like esperanza spalding for being true to their culture and art.

[chapinrey]

@SonOfDune That right brother ! this clown calls everything with congas and cowbells cuban.This clown told me one time that cumbia and samba are cuban ! jejeje .He is tremendously missinformed ! I have the upmost respect to Sanabria and all Newyork jazz musicians .This clown is so ignorant he can't tell the difference between big ban jazz , son , Salsa , and rhumba .He is nothing but a loser !

[SonOfDune]

@chapinrey if all you can do is wwrite broad statemnents with no context than watch other videos. why are you bringing someone down thats trying to elevate the culture and bring the music of cuba to the masses? what have you done to help spread knowledge of cuban music. being a douchebag behind a screen sure aint doing anything for cuba or its rich history. who have you played with in the world of jazz or afro cuba music?

[SonOfDune]

@RomancesyBoleros your comments not only misinform the public but they paint latinos in a negative light. how can you be taken seriously bolero romantico when all you write are juvenille insults backed up by trumped u nationalism. because you claim to be cuban everyone should listen to your non existant big band and lectures. grow some balls and shake the hate off. dont listen or watch the videos if you dont like them. its obvious you are starving for attention.

[SonOfDune]

@RomancesyBoleros as i read your comments it bothers me to see what has plagued our culture and music for so long. you claim to know so much about music and yet when an educated and talented artist like bobby who teaches the history of cuban music dating back to slavery and the trans atlantic passage all you can seem to do is badmouth and curse someone who puts in effort to elevate a culture you bring down with your hate. i can't help but shake my head to your rants.

[LLJtbone]

Holy crap that's fast. Man, there are some really young people in this group. Sounds good!

[whitefeet1]

Soloists are badass.... there's hope!

[ropac1256]

lol wow ladies and gentleman, are we compartmentalizing music? go look up how afrocuban and latin jazz got started and come on back and try again

[danielcgomez]

Privileged to say that I was in the audience that very night! can we see some more please?? :)

[PandaJerkz]

anyone know the name of this song?

[salsasham]

@PandaJerkz ....tito puentè manbo

[chapinrey]

@RomancesyBoleros These cubans call jazz any group that has 4 trumpets ! jazz is much more than that .This shows they dont know the first thing about jazz .

[Tobey2k4]

In order to over-simplify things, I think of the Afro-Cuban tradition as being latin with a jazz fusion, and in this video I listen to it as big-band jazz with a latin fusion. The elements each musician has chosen to use are different, because of a cultural difference. Both, however, share a love for both idioms.

I like both sides of this 'Latin Jazz' coin, for different reasons. This sound for me was created in NY. Afro-Cuban Jazz was created in Cuba.

[Tobey2k4]

@RomancesyBoleros

To be honest, I hate the term Latin Jazz. It tends to be an umbrella term which covers so many different styles of Latin music so vastly different from one another that they shouldn't really be bunched together. When I listen to (and indeed compare) the sounds of Irakere, the Afro-Cuban all stars etc... to the music in this video I hear them as completely different styles. Perhaps derived from the same core foundations, but developed in different ways.

[Tobey2k4]

@RomancesyBoleros

You seem to be under the impression that this is pure Latin music - the styles of Mambo, Cha-cha, Bolero etc... are all pure Latin styles. Bobby's music is not pure Latin, it is the fusion of popular big-band jazz writing with traditional Latin styles to create what has now become Latin-Jazz.

The first place where both mediums were equally fused to create something completely new and unique to the world was undoubtedly New York City.

[okapi65]

VIVA CUBA, VIVA EL JAZZ CUBANO Y LATINO, SIEMPRE VIVO...

[sloanetaytay]

Cubans <3

[sunilb21]

Brillianto! Salute!

[2711yankees]

Those of us who have been around this genre understand that Cuba and Puerto Rico all established the origins of this fabulous sound we know as latin-jazz . However, Bobby is correct in that it all came together and was refined in New York City. This is not a we - they argument, this is about enjoying the best latin-jazz possible.

[TheMamboon2]

@RomancesyBoleros Do you not agree the music fusion of Afro-Cuban/Latin American/N. American jazz is a good thing that would not exist if people had not worked together in understanding, and thus significantly increased recognition of Cuban music, it’s people and culture? Do you not agree that now through continuing joint effort and unbiased understanding, it will be brought back even more to the world stage? (ex; Marsalis & LC Jazz in Cuba, Oct 2010, helping to reopen doors between countries)

[TheMamboon2]

@RomancesyBoleros (AP) – NEW YORK (9/10/10) "New York City's Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra is traveling to Cuba next month for a series of concerts in Havana with bandleader Wynton Marsalis....The ensemble will perform several concerts from Oct. 5 to 9.Later in the month Jazz at Lincoln Center will produce the Afro-Cuban Jazz Celebration, featuring concerts in New York City. " (American travel approved by U.S. authorities and funded primarily by Mellon, Ford & Rockefeller Fdtns)

[TheMamboon2]

@RomancesyBoleros - Google the Web: Smithsonian’s Latin Jazz info and exhibitions as well as PBS’s Latin Music USA TV series’ interactive website among many other authentic in-depth research studies (facts, not just opinions) and reference opportunities at your disposal also on line and at libraries, historical societies, and institutions of higher learning.

[TheMamboon2]

@RomancesyBoleros - Latin Jazz 101: African rhythms + Cuban rhythms/percussion + North American jazz instrumentation, melodies, harmony, and improvisation = Latin Jazz (aka Afro-Cuban jazz and other labels). “Latin jazz truly crystallized in New York in 1940,” when Mario Bauzá and Machito put these elements together (1939) and then founded Machito and the Afro-Cubans Cuban and U.S. jazz virtuosos together created a new genre and Afro-Cuban movement, “a hybrid of hybrids.” (Smithsonian)

[TheMamboon2]

@RomancesyBoleros First of all, if you want to express your perspective and be taken seriously to make a difference, then cut the ignorant gutter-language spectacle. Make statements not name calling and racial slurs that nurture wider division. Bobby Sanabria and many other advocates in general, including Puerto Ricans, are not liars and have been significant in crediting Cuban music and creating awareness, including in the 60s when “…music from Cuba all but disappeared from the world scene.”

[rmweav11]

Dang.. threw the jam son!

[PENNSY671E]

C A L I E N T E !!

Estupendo !!

[drummermgs]

Fucking WOWWWWWWWWWWWW

[baconquereefo]

why to take the credict from the cubans, when the stile is even call afro cuban jazz, i think mr sanabria knows very well how to talk , but can he really play.

Machito and mario bausa both cubans, they just broad the cuban culture to america.We cubans did a big favor to the latin comunity in the states, but as u can see is ofcause not the cubans that have the credict.same with la salsa.lol.do u guys now about a saying that say cuban music, the music that put the world to dance.

[liraple]

@baconquereefo --- I think what he was trying to say is that this afro-cuban jazz tradition started in the U.S., which is true. He did not want to reduce the importance of the afro or the cuban, just wanted to point to the american audience one of the facts --which is that the place in which this mix of music grew was in fact the U.S., not africa or cuba. Clearly, he said it started with Machito, a cuban. (by the way, he can definitely play)

[baconquereefo]

@liraple man disculpame , pero boby allende can play , mark quinones, anga, changuito, giovanni, no bobby S man.

[TheMamboon2]

@baconquereefo

Your attempt at English is noted and appreciated, but you must also consider the semantics of the language as well as context, especially in the brevity of a stage performance, such as the MSM segment. Witnessing many of Bobby Sanabria’s performances, lectures, classes, etc, I can attest that he never fails to enormously credit the music’s Cuban roots and contributions.

[TheMamboon2]

@baconquereefo If you doubt Bobby Sanabria's talent and authentic Afro-Cuban playing abilities, check present and past sources. His work and close associations with Candido, Mongo Santamaria, “Patato” Valdez, Chico O’Farrill, Graciela, Mario Bauzá, and many more including Afro-Cuban champion, Dizzy Gillespie, plus today’s giants, incl Cuban virtuosos, speak volumes about his performances and firsthand knowledge. By the way, did you know Bobby was Mario Bauzá’s drummer for eight years?

[TheMamboon2]

@baconquereefo Bobby’s dedication is genuine, he knows what he’s talking about, and his expertise recognized by many other renowned musicians (including aforementioned), historians, universities, and institutes (including his work for the Smithsonian). His many awards and mainstream Grammy and Latin Grammy recognitions further substantiate the high regard he has earned in all categories!

[FixedLensProductions]

this is hot stuff!

[esneyder59]

excelente lo venmis ojos en youtube

[JumpStop1]

damn that was intense!

[itsaniphone]

Just played with him!

[ronnieciago]

Me and Bobby were roommates at Berklee School Of Music. Bobby would stay up all night writing charts and studying. The man had a passion ! This video is the result of LOTS of "HARD WORK" !

[MUSSAHCAN]

Hot to Deffffffffff!

[locinty]

Machito,1939?Mario Bauza ,was with Cab Calloway through 1940,then became music director to Machito..Mr.Sanabria should know who "Gilberto Valdes" ,was.The composer of the pregon "El Botellero" sang by Miguelito Valdes,also by ,Bola de Nieve.While,in there, who,was Luis Varona and Julio Andino.Cont...

[gomerijos]

@locinty Recuerda que la orquesta se organizo originalmente en el 1939 pero duro poco y Machito se fue con la orquesta Siboney de Alberto Iznaga y en el 1940 se reorganizo la orquesta.

[agentsback]

America is a gr8 country. 

[denzelmendoza]

Our band played with Bobby...he's one crazy man.

[mycompasstv]

Great horns!

[SonOfDune]

the orchestra sounds crisp and tight. great chemistry and fiery rhythms. the music doesn't sound easy to play either. suave!

[connsax58]

they got BALLS man!!!!!!!!!

[JJ17070]

nominated or not I disagree with all of you. I love music as much as anyone else if not more, but this peace sounds like everyone's on speed of something. No feel, no sole, just fast and exasperating. I'm sure this composer has other peaces probably much more moving then this peace? God i hope so

[modupwe]
