Description:

Alfredo Rodriguez, who made his international debut in 2011, with the generous backing of Quincy Jones, has released his third Mack Avenue album! Following "Sounds of Space," which freshly made his presence known as a rising star born in Cuba, and "Invasi on Parede," his second album in 2014, which fused various musical elements from Cuba and showed the evolution of clave, etc., this album finally presents Rodriguez's connection to the world. The members of the group include Xavinul Sisal, Zavinul Sisal, and Zavinul Sisal. The members include Richard Bona, a Cameroonian talent who has made his international debut through the Zawinul Syndicate, and Ibrahim Marlov, a gifted trumpeter from Lebanon who has recently made his major label debut with Impulse, and other musicians from France, Spain, India, and other countries. The musicians are from France, Spain, India, and other parts of the world. The music is a mixture of the African world, where one can feel the warmth of the human skin and the generosity of the mother earth (Richard Bona's angelic voice is immortal), and the arabic world, where each piece of music depicts a different scene, inviting the listener to different places. ☆ However, the root of the music is its roots, Cuba.The opening number "ChanChan," with its effective use of a prepared piano introduction, mixes nostalgia with an explosive explosion of piano. The song, made famous by the Buena Vista Social Club, has been rewritten to reflect the image of the song that made it famous around the world. In M9, Bach's "O Lord, Joy of Man's Desiring" is gorgeously rendered in altered time, and in M11, Piazzolla's number is reconstructed. On the other hand, the original is full of ideas, including intricate rhythm changes, combinations, percussive chords, and Cuban-rooted melodies. Originally attracted to Keith Jarrett's completely improvised "Cologne Concert," Alfred's musical curiosity easily transcends land, time, and genre. He left Cuba for the United States to pursue further dreams with Quincy Jones. His earnest gaze toward his roots and his attempts to fuse cultures and music from around the world have resulted in a work of art that has expanded to new musical horizons. New musical horizons will open up!
