La Partida
Categorized under Música | Tags: indigenous, Viernes Noche Música, YouTube
Sábado noche.
A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF MUSIC, by Victor Jara (maybe you know who he is, or maybe you remember his name from my Pinochet posts) played live by Inti-Illimani. I've been really digging a lot of this type of music lately, nueva canción they call it, indigenous sounding stuff, (Huayucaltia is another great band), pan flute type of stuff, lots of little percussive sounds, stirring rhythms, galloping at dawn feel, swiftmoving, melodic and fluid like time itself tumbling, sprawling rivers opening up across the broad back of our (mother) earth, heart-borne waters washing all of Man's parasitic attachment and achievement away.
Except you know—amps and microphones and stuff.

Hi and greetings from Jara-land !!! Apparently they blasted Jara recordings from apartment windows when news came out that Pinochet had died. I missed that part.

I wish I could get you more, but these days Regeton dominates the airwaves here (P.R.). Disgusting. I really want to hurt somebody when the top Puerto Rican artist calls himself "Daddy Yankee". Stupid mother....
Nah, forget it, personal peeves of mine.
Bueno Feliz Navidad a todos!

Ok, here you go. One song with "indigena" sound and themes that anyone anywhere in the Americas, North or South should understand.

chido, gracias for taking that trouble! iw ill be back to dig it, gotta run. i do understand your feelings on daddy yankee. its sad to see so many worldwide peeps falling for the Murkan hype. i like some reggaeton a lot, but he is one of the more grating sounds i've heard. and i find it sad that someone would not celebrate themselves, but want to be what the mainstream of Murka approves of....but i can hardly complain. I was under a similar spell once upon a time.
