Aug 30 - Radio Cuba Canta presents: 100th Birthday Tribute to Arsenio Rodriguez hosted by Emiliano Echeverria - KPFA FM

RadioCubaCanta@gmail.com — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 15:01:00 +0000

Radio Cuba Canta presents a 4-hour documentary and 100th Birthday Tribute to the life, music and genius of Arsenio Rodriguez.

Part of the international Centennial Tribute to Arsenio Rodriguez this weekend, this historic broadcast is a special tribute to the creative genius responsible for influencing many artists of today in the "Salsa," Latin Jazz, and the music of Cuba itself, even today. Often compared to Louis Armstrong, Arsenio Rodriguez, was responsible for creating essential elements of the Mambo, years before Perez Prado brought the Mambo to worldwide audience.

We present rare recordings, historical viewpoints by Rene Lopez, David Garcia, Bobby Sanabria and Orlando Maraca Valle, and an interview with Arsenio himself recorded in the early 1960s.

Listen to an interview with Diosdado Ramos, director of Los Muñequitos de Matanzas, on KPFA's Ritmo de las Americas with host Rosi Reyes

San Francisco International Arts Festival is proud to present the legendary Cuban ensemble,Los Muñequitos de Matanzas. The performance will mark the company’s return to San Francisco after an absence of 19 years. The last time Los Muñequitos performed in the City was a now legendary night back in 1992.

Hailed as the "reigning regents of rumba" by the San Francisco Chronicle, "the essence of Cuba's musical soul" by the San Diego Union Tribune and "truly keepers of a sacred flame" by Latin Beat, Los Muñequitos de Matanzas are amongst the highest regarded percussionists in the world and masters of Afro-Cuban ritual and rumba music and dance. Founded in 1952, the group currently spans three generations of an extended family of musicians, singers and dancers. This performance is part of a 16-city US Tour and San Francisco will be their second stop and only California performance.

The music of Los Muñequitos de Matanzas keeps alive 500 years of drumming, chanting and dance, preserving the vibrant culture of the African Diaspora intrinsic to Cuba's living legacy. While sustaining these cultural traditions, the group's choreography and new musical compositions continue to innovate from the African roots of Cuban culture. In one evening'sconcert, Los Muñequitos may play the rhythms and drumming of the Santeria religion whichoriginated with the Yoruba tribe; the songs of the Abakuá, a secret fraternal organization originally from Nigeria; and contemporary Cuban rumba in its varied and ever evolving forms.

Los Muñequitos has performed in more than 50 cities across the U.S., from intimate (and packed!) shows in community centers and dance & music clubs to full-scale theatrical productions in grand concert halls. Whatever the setting, their complex drumming, captivating vocals and spectacular dancing transport audiences to the vital streets of Matanzas and the soul of Cuba.

The concert is being produced by the SF International Arts Festival and is a community benefit for a number of organizations including the Central American Resource Center (CARECEN), Cuba Caribe, Abada Capoiera, Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts, Latino Leadership Comité.

El Tecolote Newspaper is a community-based bilingual newspaper that was established in 1970 to provide a fuller portrait of Latino life and cultural and to provide free journalism training for local residents. Over the past 40 years, El Tecolote has become a beloved community institution and a proven pipeline to journalism careers.

Friday, December 3rd
Join us on Friday for an incredible night of music from the Mission performed by La Familia Peña-Govea and the youth-driven salsa rhythms of Futuro Picante.
 

When local recording artist, bandleader, composer and musician Miguel Govea began performing music with three women in his life he created the Mission’s own musical household with a hybrid lyrical twist as La Familia Peña-Govea. A well-known musician, Miguel Govea will be accompanied by his wife, Susan, and two daughters, Rene and Cecilia, as La Familia Peña-Govea. This talented musical family will get the audience swaying with their mixture of traditional Tex-Mex and Colombian music, driving us down a road filled with rancheras, valses, polkas, boleros, and vallenatos. La Familia Peña-Govea seamlessly coordinates the range of traditional instruments and progressions into a cohesive groove. The harmonious duets with Miguel and his wife ring with both a sublime simplicity that encourages the audience to sing along. La Familia Peña-Govea is continuing the rich legacy of Latino music in the Bay Area, and they are doing it together in style.

Closing Friday night is Futuro Picante, the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts’ youth Latin jazz band. With ages ranging from nine to 18-years-old, Futuro Picante’s sound is anything but elementary. Their repertoire of vivacious Latin jazz includes both salsa’s golden age classics and original compositions from local artists. The group was formed in 2003 by Jose Leon, the Center’s youth director, as part of a summer Latin Jazz Band The group was formed in 2003 by Jose Leon, the Center’s youth director, as part of a summer Latin Jazz Band program. His aim was to provide low-cost music training for neighborhood youth and to pass on Latin music traditions to the next generation. With the help of co-director Miguel Govea, Leon assembled his first group of promising youth musicians. The group has been wowing audiences ever since.

The complex texture of their music, layering fluttering flute solos with Cuban percussion, energetic trumpet melodies, jazzy keyboard stylings, and an array of powerful vocalists, earned them the title of San Francisco’s “2010 Best Kid Band” by SF Weekly. With their fresh sound and a maturity of musicianship beyond their years, Futuro Picante has indeed proven to be the zesty future of Latin music while honoring the legacies of Tito Puente, Beny Moré, and more.

Saturday, December 4th

On Saturday, you will experience the thunderous Brazilian heartbeat of Loco Bloco, a non-profit group that has helped thousands of local youth find their life bearings through Afro-Brazilian drumming and dancing. Saturday ends with the Afro-Cuban Jazz Ensemble of SFSU led by local music favorite John Calloway.

Loco Bloco uses art as a tool to empower local youth and direct them towards healthy lifestyles and civic engagement. Since Loco Bloco's inception in 1994 more than 6,000 have passed through their programs becoming professional and passionate performers, with many youth returning to mentor younger members. Loco Bloco’s drumming and dancing troupe pack a gigantic wallop that will shake your soul and unhook your hips. Their heavily percussion-based music is a potent fusion of African, Brazilian, Hip Hop, Latin, and Funk matched with high-energy dance routines ranging from samba to African and hip hop.

Saturday night will close with the Afro-Cuban Jazz Ensemble of San Francisco State University. Formed in 1999, the ensemble is dedicated to preserving and performing Cuban popular music and other Latin American music genres. The 25-member ensemble is composed of musicians from the university and the Bay Area community at large. Their mission is to expose audiences to the richness of Cuban music that has

influenced American music since the 19th century. The ensemble also performs music from South and Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean and the U.S.

John Calloway, director of the ensemble, is a Grammy nominated multi-instrumentalist, composer, educator and social activist. He has been a mainstay in the Bay Area music scene since the mid-1970s, having performed with J Omar Sosa, Israel “Cachao” Lopez, Dizzy Gillespie, Jesus Diaz, John Santos and Pete Escovedo. John is on faculty in both the School of Music and Dance and the Ethnic Studies Department of SFSU and gives lectures and workshops on music, the arts and social change throughout the region. Currently he serves on the SF Arts Commission and on several arts advisory boards in the Bay Area.
