Ay hombre...

 
EL VIEJO MIGUEL
- ADOLFO PACHECO -

Hay buscando consuelo, buscando paz y tranquilidad,
El viejo miguel del pueblo se fue muy decepcionad (bis)
Yo me desespero y me da dolor por que la ciudad,
Tiene su destino y tiene su paz para el provinciano (bis)
Me queda el recuerdo deleble de una amistad
Que deja en la tierra querida de sus paisanos (bis)


A mí pueblo no lo llego a cambiar ni por imperio
Yo vivo mejor llevando siempre mi vida tranquila (bis)
Parece que Dios con el dedo oculto de su misterio
Señalando viene por el camino de la partida (bis)
Primero se fue la vieja pal cementerio
Y ahora se va usted, solito pa Barranquilla (bis)

Hay se acabo el dinero se acabo todo hasta el purrufero
Del techo seguro como el adero de la paloma (bis)
Pero eso no importa por que es mejor empezar de nuevo
Cual la flor silvestre que renovar es mejor su aroma (bis)
Todavía le quedan amigos allá en el pueblo
Y hasta el forastero pregunta por su persona


Hay Luis Felipe Rojas llora y por dio a mi me emociona
El tener que darle mi mas triste despdida
Adiós San Andrés, tu animador te abandona
Adiós 16 de agosto adiós alegría
Ya no tocara la banda hay la banda de Pedro y Petrona
Adiós pacorara me voy de esta tierra mía

ADOLFO PACHECO
El compositor sabanero de "La hamaca grande" 
  
Adolfo Pacheco Después de que el sanjacintero Adolfo Pacheco Anillo saboreara la fama como el compositor de los Montes de María y se internacionalizara con La hamaca grande, El viejo Miguel, El mochuelo y Mercedes, entre otras canciones, cayó en cuenta de que su papá tenía razón: debía estudiar Derecho.

Fue por ello que ingresó a la Universidad de Cartagena a los treinta y seis años de edad y se graduó de abogado a los cuarenta y tres años, ya casado con Ladys Anillo, también abogada. 

En su juventud sólo soñaba con ser músico; y el viejo Miguel (su papá), a quien le compuso precisamente la canción que se titula así, se empecinó en no apoyarlo. Él asociaba la música con el ron. 

Y así se la pasó hasta que un día tuvo que aceptar que su hijo había nacido para la música. Todo se dio cuando el negocio de víveres que tenía en San Jacinto empezó a decaer. Para ese entonces, Adolfo había terminado su bachillerato en el Colegio Fernández Baena en Cartagena y estaba estudiando Ingeniería Civil en la Universidad Javeriana en Bogotá, donde cursó hasta segundo año y de paso aprovechó sus ratos libres para tomar clases de guitarra. 

El viejo Miguel tenía que sostener a cuatro mujeres que le habían dado diecisiete hijos y no podía seguir costeando sus estudios en la capital. Esta situación obligó a Adolfo a regresar a su pueblo, donde empezó a trabajar como maestro de primaria. 

El magisterio lo alternó con la música. No paraba de componer canciones, y los fines de semana los dedicaba a cantar sus temas en los pueblos aledaños, al lado de sus entrañables amigos Nasser Sir (guitarrista de Los Isleños), Nelson Díaz (saxofonista), Andrés Landero (acordeonero y cantante) y su compadre Ramón Vargas (acordeonero), quien falleció el año pasado de cáncer. De la gran amistad que tuvo con el último de ellos nació en 1969 la célebre canción La hamaca grande. Fue a raíz de la exigencia de su compadre, de que Adolfo le compusiera un vallenato. Por eso la primera versión de esta canción decía: Compadre Ramón no me esté diciendo que yo le componga vallenato al son. 

Después la cambió por la que hoy es el paseo que lo ha hecho famoso en el mundo hispano y lo han grabado Andrés Landero, Johnny Ventura y Carlos Vives. 

El título del tema se lo puso Edgardo Pereira durante una parranda en su finca en San Jacinto. Él dijo: Pero si el nombre está en la canción. La hamaca grande. 

Cada composición de Adolfo, de las ciento veintiséis que lleva grabadas, tiene su propia historia. El viejo Miguel es un canto a la nostalgia. El tema lo escribió cuando su papá dejó al pueblo por la ciudad. Escogió a Barranquilla, y allá en San Jacinto se quedó él, con muchos de sus hermanos, y su mamá, Mercedes, quien fue la primera que se fue pal" cementerio. 

Mercedes es, para él, un nombre dulce. Representa la bondad de una madre. Así también se llama la última mujer del viejo Miguel, a quien aprendió a querer porque cuidó a su padre durante sus últimos años.
Con ese nombre bautizó una canción que le hizo a una novia que no quería que le divulgara su identidad. Fue un amor frustrado, antes de su matrimonio. Porque desde el momento en que conoció a Ladys, su vida cambió. 

Al principio los papás de ella no lo querían porque era bohemio. Inclusive, Ladys duró dos años para aceptarme como novio. Me veía folclórico y además yo ya tenía cinco hijos. Pero poco a poco la fui conquistando y al mismo tiempo a cada uno de los miembros de su familia. 

Con ella lleva veintitrés años de casado y dos hijos. Le ha compuesto diecinueve canciones, y una de ellas es El tropezón. Precisamente narra cómo sus papás la separan de él mandándola a Bogotá. 

Adolfo es una mezcla de blanco con negro e indígena. A lo largo de su vida ha estudiado el origen de sus antepasados. Mi bisabuelo paterno era de Ocaña y llegó a San Jacinto, por allá en 1850, durante la fiebre del tabaco. Era blanco y pecoso, y varios años después se casó con Crucita Estrada, una negra recién liberada de la esclavitud. Ella se hizo famosa porque hacía unos bollos deliciosos. 

Su abuelo paterno, Laureano Antonio Pacheco, fue quien descubrió en él su inclinación por la música. Era tambolero de gaita. Y su mamá cantaba a voz en cuello, pasillos, vals y boleros, pero en el patio de su casa.
De sus recuerdos infantiles aún tiene fresco en su memoria el primer verso que hizo a los seis años de edad. Es un canto indio en ritmo de puya, y que algún día terminará de componerlo. 

Amigos tiene por montones: en la sabana, aquí y en muchos lugares del país. Porque él es amigo de sus amigos. Entre los más allegados está Andrés Landero, quien le ha interpretado gran parte de sus composiciones. 

Estando en Bogotá -en su época de estudiante- fue donde Adolfo escuchó, a través de una emisora, el tema Tristeza que le había grabado su amigo. 

Lo que sintió fue indescrip-tible. De inmediato compró el disco, de 78 revoluciones. Era un paseaíto, que él mismo define como un ritmo entre chandé y paseo. O sea una guaracha mal tocada.
Esa fue su primera producción artística grabada por Andrés Landero, y desde entonces él lo acompaña en todas sus parrandas. El día del homenaje en el Amira de la Rosa estuvo a su lado, cantando con el alma sus canciones. 

Los temas de este maestro del folclor han sido grabados además por Otto Serje y Rafael Ricardo, Nelson Henríquez, Daniel Celedón e Ismael Rudas, Los Hermanos Zuleta, Diomedes Díaz, Carlos Vives, Johnny Ventura, Los Melódicos y Moisés Angulo. 

Aparte de la música, Adolfo es un enamorado de la política. Fue Concejal de San Jacinto, Diputado del Departamento de Bolívar, Secretario de la Asamblea de Bolívar y Director de Tránsito de Bolívar.
Su viejo amigo Régulo Matera, Diputado del Atlántico, se lo trajo para Barranquilla hace dos años, y aquí está como secretario de la Asamblea. 

Cincuenta y ocho años de edad, madrugador, poco trasnochador, contador de anécdotas -de él y de sus amigos. Este es el perfil de Adolfo Pacheco, el compositor sabanero a quien la musa le llega de los Montes María; y de cada estado de inspiración siempre hay una producción poética, como lo es él en toda la esencia de su ser.

 This is one of the best Cuban son outfits around, all of its elements crisply directed at the dancefloor, but still making for good armchair listening.
The Wire

Candido Fabre is one of the baddest soneros (singers) in Cuba today. It's been over five years since the release of his last album. In between he has continued performing and writing songs for Los Van Van, Yumuri, Issac Delgado and others. With a more raspy and hoarser voice, he delivers twelve tracks that will put you in a spin! While it may take some folks getting to used to his vocals now, he is still one of the most prolific commentators on life in Cuba and its view of the outside world.

He is the greatest sonero since Benny More. Candido has the phrasing and fire of a great salsa vocalist.. " Latin Beat - USA

"Candido is a first-class salsa singer, loved as much for his earthy charisma as his infectious dance music, - Jan Fairley ? Songlines - UK

Candido Fabre is one of Cuba's leading musicians and is considered one of the most versatile and ingenious soneros of Latin America. His improvisations have helped to build his reputation as an artist of great charisma and authenticity. He is also a prolific songwriter and his work has been performed in Cuba by Orquestra Aragon, Los Van Van, Manguare, Isaac Delgado, Celia Cruz and Oscar D'Leon.

Candido has the phrasing and fire of a great salsa vocalist. His back up group features the flute and violin line-up of classic charanga, and the members of his group swing with elegance through some excellent arrangements in the finest tradition of charangas playing son.

...and what do YOU say ?!

 Charanga is a term given to traditional ensembles of Cuban dance music. They made Cuban dance music popular in the 1940s and their music consisted of heavily son-influenced material, performed on European instruments such as violin and flute by a Charanga orchestra. (Aviva 2004, p.199). The style of music that is most associated with a Charanga is termed 'Danzon', and is an amalgam of both European classical music and African rhythms.

  
 La Orquesta Original de Manzanillo fue fundada en diciembre de 1963 por el flautista Eduardo Aguirre, posteriormente sustituido por otro fundador, el pianista, compositor y orquestador Wilfredo “Pachi” Naranjo, quien se ha mantenido al frente de la misma hasta la actualidad.

Luego de un período inicial de búsqueda, lograron comenzar a colocar toda una serie de éxitos con los que consolidan su popularidad a principios de la década del setenta, manteniéndose desde entonces en la preferencia del público que la reconoce como toda una institución de nuestra música bailable.

En el año 1983 se produce el ingreso de Cándido Fabré a la agrupación, manteniéndose en la misma por espacio de una década, en la que aportó una gran cantidad de éxitos como compositor, marcados con el sello inconfundible de su voz y su insuperable capacidad de improvisación.

El presente álbum doble recoge precisamente veinte de los hits que sobresalieron a lo largo de las siete producciones discográficas realizadas mientras duró esta acertada unión, que será recordada por mucho tiempo como los “años de oro” de Cándido Fabré y La Original. 
  

Cándido Fabré was the songwriter, arranger and main vocalist with Orquesta Original de Manzanillo from 1983 to 1993. In 1993 he formed his new, 15-piece band featuring some of the very best Cuban musicians. The lineup, similar to his previous orchestra, includes three violins, keyboards, flutes, tres, piano, congas and other percussion instruments.
 
Fabré’s songs have been performed in Cuba by Orquesta Aragón, Los Van Van, Manguere, Isaac Delgado, Ritmo Oriental and Los Karachi, and on the international scene by Celia Cruz, Oscar D'León, and Willy Chirino.
  
Cándido Fabré
  
The Cándido Fabré Orchestra has toured extensively, visiting Mexico, Colombia, Canada and Venezuela. Following the band’s appearance at the International Caribbean Festival in Cartagena (Colombia), a prominent Cartagena newspaper described him as: "The most versatile Cuban sonero" and described his vocal improvisations as "the greatest since Beny Moré".

It is his charanga line up with three violins and flute which is now taking him to growing prominence on the international scene.

Buranbay

  
Буранбай

 Пленительны напевы Буранбая, 
Им кажется нет края и конца. 
Сердца мужские кровью истекают, 
Внимая песням скорбного певца.

Buranbaya captivating melodies,
They think there is no edge or end.
Men's hearts blood expire
Listening to the mournful song singer.
(don't tell me google translations are not poetic... )

 
Buranbay
   

    When you are singing, Buranbay, 
    So very tuneful is your song. 
    Are deeply moved our country folk 
    To hear it sound sad and long.

        Buranbay, the son of Kotdos, lived in the 1800-ies. He came from the village of Buranbay of the Baimak district (the former village of Kinyabulat of the First Beryan volost of the Orenburg gubernia). 
        He was known to be a man of great vigour, strength and wit, a real batyr. He was also famed for his poetry, singing and playing the kurai flute. 
        He used to go hunting, and was a very skilful archer. He was blind in one eye. People sang about it: 

        Buranbay is blind, they say. 
        He can see but with one eye.

        His father's name was Zolkarnai, his wife's-Tutiygosh. They had a son named Noushirban. The present day Noushirvanovs are his descendants.  

        At that time the Makar forest on the right bank of the Hakmar was overgrown with larch and pine trees. Buranbay used larch trees to build a house for which he laid a foundation of twelve logs. 
        Buranbay was well-educated for his time, he could read and write in Arabic. He knew the art of hypnotizing people. He maintained his dignity with the rich and he always protected the poor. The neighborhood people respected him and sought his advice. The authorities feared Buranbay and tried to get rid of him. They sent a letter of complaint against him to Orenburg. He was summoned to Orenburg several times but he wouldn't obey and preferred to hide in the forest. At that time he met the Sibai cantonal chief and his assistant Ibrahim. For a whole year he roamed among the Irandek mountains, then on the river Uthan as he could not return home.  

        One night, however, Buranbay made up his mind to visit his village. It was April, the Hakmar river was flooded. When he came, he first greeted his wife who was milking cow, then put his horse in the shed and entered the house. The spies watching his place, noticed him come back and surrounded the house. But they failed to detect Buranbay and his horse in the shed because he had used hypnosis and they lost sight of him. In the morning he saddled his horse, bid farewell to his wife and was about to leave when his watchers who were still there rushed after him, trying to capture him. They made him ride close to the Hakmar bank. In the middle of the village there is a poplar tree. It was just opposite that tree that Buranbay managed to cross the river in spite of the drifting ice. Saying, "What an attaboy I am, Buranbay", he escaped by the Shonger road (the former Salt Way). Then he went to the Kaskyn Pine Wood (the forest near the village Shulka; the Kaskynovs come from here). He took his light axe that he used to carry tied to his belt and cut a song on a pine tree. Buranbay decided to leave the place forever. He went to Morak (the present day Kugarsen district) to the village of Ishbirtheh to his old friend Sufian. "I've left my native place", he said, "I've cut the words of my song on the Kaskyn Pine Tree. If you wish you can go there and copy the song before the resin melts in the sun", he said to the old man and left.  

        Buranbay reached the village of lthelbai and settled there. He married a woman from that village (it was about 1824). He gave his son the name of his firstborn from the Baimak district. 
        When old Sufian went to the pine tree the resin had already melted and covered the letters. He could make out some of them though. 

        It's only in the garden of Buranbay 
        That trees grow of a dozen kind.

        The further destiny of Buranbay is unknown except for one thing. When roaming in other lands he didn't call himself Buranbay but Yalan-Yarkai. We can say for sure that Buranbay and Yalan-Yarkai is one and the same person.  

        People say that in 1956 Zaghidulla, grandson of Buranbay, came to our village from lthelbai. As was told by him, Buranbay had died on the river Dim, the date of his death is unknown. His descendants had kept his bow and arrows for a long time. Till the 50-ies our village was called Kinyabulat. Then on the request of the old people it was renamed in the memory of Buranbay. Old people say they know the place where Buranbay's house has been.  

        The Buranbayevs, Noushirvanovs, Sheih-el-lslamovs, Utabayevs and the Halikovs are considered to be descend-ants of Buranbay.

     To better understand the people of a country one is to be initiated to their songs. The Bashkort national singing tradition can be compared to the Italian school of Bel Canto. The peculiarity of a Bashkort song is that nearly every one of them might be compared to an operatic aria. Performing a Bashkort folk song will require of the singer great professional skills and special vocalic qualities.
      The performer has also to be fully aware of the national colouring of the song and of its message. The one who sang "Buranbay" or played this tune was believed to have excelled in masterly execution.
      The Bashkort "othon kei"(long-drawn tune) is known for its intricate melodius pattern. It is also so composed that there is always room for improvisation. The Bashkort song is so peculiarly tuneful that it requires of the performer to literally put his soul into the song, which he actually does. That is why every performer is ever so distinctive.
