Trumpet Player Arturo Sandoval of Hidden Hills, California was born on November 6, 1949, in Artemisa, a small town east of Havana in the Pinar Del Río province, home of Cuba's finest tobacco growing region, the Vuelta Abajo. Arturo's family was poor, existing on an income from his father's mechanics business. By the age of six, Arturo had a strong desire to be a musician.

Arturo began playing the congas and put together a mini-circus act with a cat on a high wire. He charged the neighborhood kids a penny to see his show. When his village organized an orchestra for local events, he joined and tried out a bunch of instruments, including the trombone, bass drum and the flute, which he didn't like because it made him dizzy. Arturo started looking at the trumpet and decided that's what he wanted to play.

The band didn't have an extra trumpet, and the family had no money to buy one; however, his Aunt bought him a Cornet. Arturo states that he started to blow the cornet and just figured it out. Arturo sought out a respected local trumpet player for some training and was rebuffed and told not to waste his time. Arturo left that meeting in tears but more determined than ever.

Amazingly, Arturo never received formal trumpet lessons. He played and practiced, but that was it. One day in 1963, Arturo saw a flyer for a scholarship program offering classical music training at the National School of Arts. He applied, and secretly went to Pinar Del Río for an aptitude exam that was mostly gauged to test his musical ear. When the telegram arrived with his acceptance, he announced to his parents that he was going to go to Havana to become a full-time musician. Arturo continued his education and musical training until he was about 16, when the government formed a big band, known as the Cuban Orchestra of Modern Music. The first trumpet in the national symphony, Luis Escalante, also was chosen as lead trumpet in the big band. The announcement energized Arturo, who had begun to chafe under the restrictions that he could only play classical music at the school. "I was dying to meet Luis Escalante," says Arturo. Escalante's hobby was fixing cars, and because of Arturo's experience helping his father, he established a connection with the vaunted trumpeter. They became friends, and finally Arturo told Escalante that he was a trumpet player, too. They started playing duets, and one day, Escalante asked if Arturo would like to take his place in the big band group. "I was speechless," Arturo says. "I told him they wouldn't let me play." But after Escalante intervened, the young Sandoval became the last chair in the trumpet section. Three years later, at the age of 20, he became the first trumpet in the orchestra, which in big band parlance meant he really became the band's leader...

Bandurria

  

The bandurria is a plectrum chordophone from Spain, similar to the cittern and the mandolin, primarily used in Spanish folk music.

Prior to the 18th century, the bandurria had a round back, similar or related to the mandore. It had become a flat-backed instrument by the 18th century, with five double courses of strings, tuned in fourths. The original bandurrias of the Medieval period had three strings. During the Renaissance they gained a fourth string. During the Baroque period the bandurria had 10 strings (5 pairs). The modern bandurria has 12 strings (6 pairs). The strings are tuned in unison pairs, going up in fourths from the low G#. The lowest four strings are a major-third above those of a standard guitar and the highest two strings are a fourth above a standard guitar, ie G♯, c♯, f♯, b, e and a.

 

   

Orquesta de Plectro de Córdoba

 

Orquesta de Plectro de Córdoba is an association of thirty young musicians whose sole purpose is to enjoy making music.

What makes this Orchestra different is that it has successfully fused classical music, popular nationalist and popular music with instruments of their land, resulting in a very special timbre that is attractive to all kind of ears. In their desire to make music it is a priority to rescue the unjustly neglected works and authors that have gone unnoticed in the history of music.

   

   

The Bandurria (mandolin) is the instrument that gives its name to the family, because when we speak Spanish lutes we refer to the entire group of ibises, ie, soprano mandolin, mandola contralto, tenor mandolin, mandola mandolin low bass, but are popularly other names, such as bandurrín, lute, Laudon, on lute, etc.., reserving the term mandolin, soprano exclusively for the instrument.

We find the term "Mandura" Provencal language "mandoire" in French. The two appear to be derived, according to John Joseph King and Antonio Navarro from the Sumerian "pan-tur" through the Greek "pandurion" and the Latin "pandura." However, in "The Book of Good Love" from Arciprestre de Hita (fourteenth century), which first appears in a literary text the word "lute", citing as an instrument instruments that already has some tradition.

Today, after having gone through different shapes and sizes throughout history, we can draw such a small instrument with sounding pear profile, tapas and a mast parallel fretted, through which the cords extend (six distributed in pairs), topped with a peg, needing to execute a plectrum or pick. It is therefore an instrument belonging to the category of compounds stringed instruments.

The mandolin in the s. XX, is becoming an essential tool in the folklore of some Spanish regions, and appears also quite often in the Spanish lyrical genre, the Zarzuela.

 Ethno-trip. The collection of ethnic music. Volume 11

 

From the manufacturer:

Unique records from personal files, collected in different provinces, in the Slavic villages, these Slavic traditions. They are not forgotten!

The word "Christmas carol" or "carol" has as its root the Latin word "Kalenda", which is the first of the month or the first of the year, from which in European languages, and there was the word "calendar".

With the birth of Christ associated the concept of establishing a new era that has long calculate the "before and after the birth of Christ." Singing carols was the glorification of this great event, "the first era."

Carols - common Christian songs that have appeared yet in the days of the birth of Christianity, but only among the Slavic peoples, they retained their title. "Kolyadovat" - it means to sing under the windows on the eve of Christmas songs called carols. To him who carols, always throw in a bag owner or the owner of the sausage or bread, or a copper penny, than the wealthy. "Costumed go!" - Shout owner of the window. So, now starts the song-dance. Kalyada!

(translation google)

  

  

Kolyada

 

Christmas in Russia is associated with a number of other practices, which represent a blend of tradition from Russia's Christian and pre-Christian past. It was once common practice, on Christmas Eve, for groups of people masquerading as manger animals to travel from house to house singing songs known as kolyadki. Some kolyadki were pastoral carols to the baby Jesus, while others were homages to the ancient solar goddess Kolyada, who brings the lengthening days of sunlight through the winter. In return for their songs, the singers were offered food and coins, which they gladly accepted before moving on to the next home...

Kolyada or koleda (Cyrillic: коляда, коледа, колада, коледе) is an ancient Slavic winter ritual celebrating the "old" New Year.

AUGE DEL VILLANCICO FLAMENCO

The rise of Flamenco Carols

by Rafael Infante (translation google)

The word carol comes from villain (lat. villanus), and originally designated a farmer, a resident of a country house, later designated the song sung by the peasant.

It is a composition characteristic of popular poetry. It included a chorus and several verses (couplets) for solo voice, usually accompanied by one or two instruments. Such compositions are taken up in songs during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, stressing "Compilations of Sonnets and Carols" of Extremadura, Juan Vazquez and monumental "Palace Songbook" by composer Juan de la Encina.

In the seventeenth century, when Carol takes on a religious character, the first example is the "Spanish Parnassus of madrigals and carols" of Peter Rimonta. In this period appeared numerous vernacular polyphonic intended to solemnize the festivities.

In the eighteenth century, Carol began its decline. According to some authors, due to the influence of Italian opera.

In the nineteenth century, as has happened with other forms of music based on folk songs, the carols, Andalusia gave him his own label, flamencoises gradually, mainly by a rhythmic pace ballads and lullabies, and other letters adapting referring to Christmas, the singing bulerías, tangos or tanguillos. These letters are based on the Gospels, including the Apocrypha and add on their own events and circumstances of extraordinary poetic power.

In the 20 years of our century, singing in flamenco, flamenco clubs, etc., being the singer nicknamed The Gloria, which was popularized by applying the bulerías a popular Christmas carol. It was so important that his stage name derives from this fact.

From this time many singers, following the example of El Gloria, included in his repertoire this decant, recording label included. The quote in addition to Gloria, her sister Pompi, Pastora Pavón, Tomás Pavón, Manuel Torre, Johnny Mojama, Manuel Vallejo, Canalejas del Puerto, La Niña de la Puebla, Manolo Caracol, Gracia de Triana, etc., which reproduce some of his recordings.

Currently witnessing a boom in Flamenco Carols, perhaps due to the initiative of Caja San Fernando, which began in 1983 and through the Cultural Construction Savings Bank of Jerez, the publication of a series under the generic title "Así Canta Nuestra Tierra en Navidad." In each disc, are shown to be singing traditional carols on the bagpipes, meetings that took place in the backyards of neighbors in Jerez, Arcos and other towns in the provinces of Cadiz and Seville. They also interpreted popular romances and songs interspersed with carols.

This initiative has been a rescue of a nearly forgotten musical heritage as well as an enrichment of it, as can be seen in the courts hearing the first three albums, we've included on this page.

The villancico was a common poetic and musical form of the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America popular from the late 15th to 18th centuries. With the decline in popularity of the villancicos in the 20th century, the term became reduced to mean merely "Christmas carol".

"The serie "así canta nuestra Tierra en Navidad" has Christmas music from my land, Jerez, so I love this serie,.... In my city the people in December  make many reunions  to sing these songs, they are named zambombas because this instrument (a friction drum) is very important. It's a lovely experience stay with the people all the night, singing beside the fire in the street. If you can some day come to Jerez..."  JA.

Traditional Christmas music from Tlacotalpan, Veracruz in México, the hometown of son jarocho.

    

  

In Tlacotalpan the Christmas celebrations are a mix of secular and religious ceremonies. It is sung in the churches, but also organized groups of people, from December 24, go from house to house singing and playing, the tradition that is called Rama, because traditionally it is sheltered by a branch profusely decorated that comes from the shrub called Rosalia, at the same time it carries a representation of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Portalito.

  

 
The Rama asks permission to enter and once granted comes to play and dance for a while until it sings a special verse which calls bonus, ie a voluntary contribution for their efforts, as a consideration in cash or an invitation to share food and drink.

This tradition has roots that go back many centuries in both pre-Hispanic culture and the European Tlacotalpan crystallizing in a very characteristic song of a chorus known as oranges and limes, which alternates with the Quartet to fully account for the ability inventiveness of the people of Veracruz, and that while maintaining the structure and the chorus, the number of verses that have been created is nearly infinite and constantly updated.

Also included in this recording Posadas, religious song used to accompany the liturgy of these days so special to her Catholic faith, the old party song originally conga rhythm, sung on December 31 each year to fire and to be used for kitchen utensils by way of informal instruments and percussion, some jarochos sounds traditionally used in the celebration of Christmas festivities Tlacotalpan.

Did you notice some people have a "fish" sticker on the back of their car. Yes, they are saying, we're in the know. Christmas is not about this little boy... (see the Mexican Christmas star)

  

"If Jesus was a Jew, why did he have a Mexican name?" someone asked... good question! Names, names and the meaning got lost... 

  

And may I ask why do you see "me" behind the manger... Ha you got it! Taurus is much much older then the fish and btw now we have aquarius... maybe time to change your manger decoration again...

 

...just open your eyes and ears, there is soo much to discover which they could not replace with their bullshit (well better word would be popeshit) and thats why we are fighting for tradition even the reasons might got lost... 

...oh no! they didn't ... listen... it's our's...

The name of Trebunie-Tutki  group is the name of a big, famous family, that has been living in Podhale region for generations. And for all those years music has been present in the family life; during very important events, like weeding or funeral and also during ordinary days and long winter evenings. But Trebunie-Tutki did not play only for themselves. The Trebunias’ grand father- Stanislaw Budz Mróz gave concerts in Warsaw, Lvov, Hamburg, Berlin and even, in 1925, at the World Exhibition in Paris. He also played for such well known Polish artists like Jan Kasprowicz or Karol Szymanowski.

All members of Trebunie-Tutki group still live in Podhale-mountain region, far away from the overcrowded capital city, big events and a commercial market, what, of course, is not good for them. But the Trebunias say, that „they have to be close to the sky-touching mountains, dark forests and green valleys, to hear a wind whistling and to fill an air vibration during a thunderstorm. And all those things you can find in their music.

  

   

"A traditional highlander music is difficult and not very popular. To make it more interesting and do not forget the traditional customs and ceremonies, Trebunie-Tutki try to create a new, special sound of their music - called by them ”a new highlander music” or ”a heavy wood music”. In this music you can find elements from reggae, jazz and rock."

   

...so they say... good thing on "Kolędy Góralskie" they don't "create new"... humble me thinks just the opposite is true... all that fusion/fashion will disappear... "Górale" muisc is here to stay...

listen...

We Go to Carol!

I think that everyone who during the holiday has been visited by children who came to sing songs and receive a gift knows – there is great pleasure and joy in these songs. Especially if they are sung not “hit or miss”, but well – otherwise the celebratory mood may be spoilt a bit. As to this disk, you need not doubt – here, everything is sung either well, or very well. We have already repeatedly spoken about how rich funds of the National Radio Company of Ukraine are. The mentioned riches have demonstrated themselves to their best this time as well – each song is a new pleasure. Just in case, I warn you – in some songs, the raise is performed not by children, but by adults. But even in such cases children's chorus sounds all the same. However, to tell you the truth, if you start listening attentively – you pay attention to some other details. First of all, probably, sincerity of performance – and everything is ok here with it. Owing to this, one very quickly joins the celebratory space – and feels cozy there.

Carols originated, of course, in a form that had nothing to do with Christmas, or even with Christ. The old French carole, a ring dance with song, may derive from the Greek choros, a circling dance associated with fertility rites and celebration. Like so many other traditions, the carol was appropriated by the church for its nativity festival. Fa-la-la-la-la la-la-la-la! Or, if you prefer, Gloria in excelsis Deo!

...to say that Virgin Mary had a baby is blasphemy to say the least... Of cource she was not a virgin since she had fantastic sex with the father of little Jesus and not just that they were in love :)
