No need to shake before use.\"\nSay goodbye to music that lacks spice. \"Habanero,\" a fiery new label specializing in Latin American music, has arrived!\nThe first release features the striking contrast between Brazil’s two musical giants!\n\n\"There’s no point in consuming music that doesn’t pack a punch!\" —With this radical concept, a new label dedicated to unearthing Latin America’s fiery musical heritage has been launched: “Habanero.” The commemorative first release focuses on the theme of “Brazil.” Cuban virtuoso Marcos Madrigal masterfully distinguishes the completely different styles of two composers who represent 20th-century Brazil.\n\nCD 1 features a collection of piano works by Cláudio Santoro, Brazil’s greatest symphonic composer, spanning a diverse range of styles from avant-garde techniques like the twelve-tone method to indigenous Brazilian music. Including rare recordings such as the manuscript version of “Two Preludes,” this album explores his enigmatic musical language—as supple and restrained as a cat. In stark contrast, CD 2 features Villa-Lobos, whose music bursts with sensuality, rich color, and generous energy. It presents a lineup of masterpieces imbued with the spirit of the tropics, including “Bachianas Brasileiras No. 4,” which fuses Bach’s counterpoint with indigenous melodies, and the melancholic “Choros No. 5: ‘The Soul of Brazil.’” This luxurious program allows you to savor a comparison of the two distinct flavors of Brazilian music: the “stillness” of Santoro and the “movement” of Villa-Lobos.\n\nWith his deep expertise in the piano repertoire of Central and South America, Madrigal delivers a refined touch and passionate spirit. Look forward to this new label—a must-check for fans of Latin American music—where you can experience the essence of lesser-known masterpieces.\n\n\u003cmarcos madrigal\u003e\nBorn in Havana, the capital of Cuba.
