NORO MORALES LATIN PIANO MAN Rumba Rhapsody

[bltsrmsqt]

Esta música le debe mucho a la cadencia andaluza - por eso suena así media árabe/morisca.

[bltsrmsqt]

Lo que pasa es hay algunos boricuas acomplejados. Brasil y Cuba son las dos potencias nucleares de la música en Latinoamérica.

[bltsrmsqt]

Guste o no guste - y exceptuando algunas músicas locales puertorriqueñas--- TODITA la "salsa" y todo lo demás se basa en la música CUBANA. Eso no le quita ningún mérito a todos los talentosísimos artistas borinqueños --- que le dieron su "sabol".

I grew up in the early 40's in NYC. We danced to all this music as well as Harry James, Glenn Miller and all the big Bands. Didn't know nor care where it 'originated'. We were all of Cuban, Puerto Rican, Greek, Armenian and Irish descent in my neighborhood. If it's good music, what difference does it make if its origin is Africa, Lapland or Patagonia. Enjoy it.

que bueno...

The second tune is '110th Street and 5th Avenue', which was where a dance hall that Noro played in many times. While he wrote 110th Street and 5th Ave., Noro did not write 'Rumba Rhapsody'. It was written by Rafael Audinot and Alberto de Bru. Noro's version is the best that I have heard

[torisdead]

what is the name of the second groove?

the one after the gap

[Ziplp66]

The Stop 21 video is here on YouTube

[Ziplp66]

I agree with what is said by the earlier. Can hear that in a tune called Stop 21 by Noro. In NYC with Jose Curbelo Noro was influential in creating what was to be called Salsa in the 60's. In the late 40-50's influenced the Mambo. Machito, Vicentico (Cuban) Tito Rodz, (1/2 Cuban PR) Pellin, Joe Valle sang with him. Daniel Santos,Boby Capo, Mirta Sylva (PR) sang with Matancera. No 1 creator of Mambo or Salsa.When the Guaracha and Rumba were created he was there,Puerto Rican .One world/one music.

[joselatogines]

While Noro Morales may have been influenced by Cuban music and he probably was, you cannot say that his music was cuban. He was not Cuban but Puertorrican. Creative genius has no boudaries. At the time of the creation of the Mambo, Noro was there, palying Rumbas and Guarachas (played by many) Musically speaking, Noro created an new style of music using the Son clave in rhythms where the traditional Rumba clave tempos are used.1st step>Salsa. Cuban Orchestras even today keep the claves separate.

cubanos no fastidien diciendo ,q el son ,mambo.boleros. danzon ,ect.son de uds.. eso es solo africano..uds no tienen nada ..el sabor.melodia.y pregon .solo lo tinen los boricuas..uds solo hacen musica sencilla aprendan..ok

It is mildly entertaining but also dismaying to always see Cubans and Puerto Ricans argue about music and dancing. Sadly similar to Puerto Ricans and Mexicans arguing about boxing and everybody hating on Argentinians. The Cubans seem to have put the ball in motion as far as the Son-Rumba-Mambo-Cha-Cha-Salsa line goes but others have contributed and also created other forms: Samba, Merengue, etc. It's all good. Funny how it really becomes world famous after hitting it big in the US.

[SonTimba]

@ orosenberg. The day that Africa plays Mambo, Timba, Son, Songo, Guaracha, Changui, Cha-Cha, Rumba, Danzon, Bolero, etc, etc. then you can say that its African, but all those rhythms and even what today is called "salsa" is actually Cuban Music. Even Papo Lucca, Ruben Blades, Johnny Pacheco, Celia Cruz, Oscar de Leon, El Gran Combo have stated that Salsa is Cuban Music under another name. Those rhythms are Cuban rhythms my friend.

[frnkgnz]

Yes, it is that Cubans want to take all the credit. Aren't you proud enough to have Lecuona, Cervantes and White! Puerto Ricans are proud of Morales, Curet and Hernandez for their genius. So just shut the F up and enjoy the great Noro Morales.

[SonTimba]

mynvjrvideos. Its not that cubans wish to take credit, its just that after Puerto ricans have stolen their rhythms, their rum, and even their flag, then the cubans have something to be bothered about. There is no doubt that Puerto ricans have made contributions to the Mambo, Son/Salsa, and other cuban rhythms. Contributions have been made by all who play those rhythms (columbians, venezuelans, etc), but PR are the only ones that do not give credit to the founders of those rhythms, the cubans

[orosenberg]

@SonTimba i think the true founders are actually in africa, but thanks for playing

[tangyrtm]

Whats the best way to find mp3iffy to download this mp3? Someone told me to google mp3iffy.

[romanyman]

I love this guy's music ,very talented man.

[mynvjrvideos]

im sick and tired of everytime,we hear an incredible puerto rican genious musician,someone always want to tell us its cuban music etc.,and get credit for it..thats like saying all the rappers in the last thirty years are nothing and havent contribute,changed,revolutioni­zed,modernized and created new genres in todays music.maybe we should also give credit to the cubans,for all of the puerto rican scientists that work in nasa,or thanking them for breathing too.

[frnkgnz]

Noro was not only a genius musician, he was a great composer, strangely he wrote some of his best music in his latter years when big bands were passe and his health was failing. As great as he was he never got an award for his music, what a shame!!!

[mike11206]

This music is more Latin Jazz, in its early Stages

[Zaragemca]

Le pusieron el nombre de Rumba por falta de mejor conocimiento, pero la estructura esta basada sobre el Son Montuno, ni tampoco es Mambo y si es parte de lo que se convirtio en la Salsa en N.Y., Noro Morales fue a Cuba y se nutrio de los pianistas cubanos. Gerry Zaragemca, (Gery Zaragemca es una autoridad en materia de percusion afrocubana y musica).

[MrAntillano14]

Noro si sabía la razón de ser para la cual se hizo el piano, esas melodias hablan por si solas! EXCELENTES...

[locinty]

Could you tell me,what this music has to do with Salsa?This is Mambo,as well as,the so called rumba nuyorkina,with has nothing to do with the real Rumba,Cubana.Ache'

[salseraprofessor]

Noro Morales' Rhumba Rhapsody has nothing to do with salsa???? It is part of the history man! Shame on you mi hermano! I think you need to find out what mambo really means too - this sure aint mambo baby! Noro Morales was one of the great masters of our music and you should show some respect and try and learn a bit about this great music before you try to use fancy latino words.

Peace and love.

[locinty]

I think,I'd been bloqued by you,sir...Why???
