EN CONCIERTO: ILe LE CANTA BOLEROS A NUEVA YORK EN EL LINCOLN CENTER

Posted by LATINO EVENTS Y TESPIS MAGAZINE on Thursday, August 18, 2016 , under , , , , , , , , , | comments (0)





Ileana Cabra Joglar, conocida artísticamente como iLe, es una cantante puertorriqueña que fue la voz femenina (PG-13) por 10 años del grupo musical Calle 13, junto a sus hermanos René Pérez Joglar “Residente” y Eduardo Cabra “Visitante”. Mientras formaba parte de la banda realizó varias contribuciones con producciones y artistas en Puerto Rico y fuera. 

iLe canta en Out of Doors del Lincoln Center, NYC. AlexGuerrero®2016
Después de 10 años con sus hermanos iLe decide encerrarse en el estudio y trabajar en su primer álbum producido por ella misma junto a Ismael Cancel. El disco titulado iLevitable salió a la luz el 3 de junio 2016, recibiendo un sinnúmero de elogios de críticos y del público en general. 

Aquí la vemos interpretando 'Quién Eres Tú' durante su presentación en el Festival Out Of Doors del Lincoln Center junto a Lucinda Williams y Thao & The Get Down Stay Down. Una estupenda velada con tres voces únicas. Puedes ver el video en nuestra página en Youtube: TespisTV.

Según NPR “el album la posiciona de inmediato como una intérprete de primera de los sonidos clásicos que permean por toda Latinoamérica”. Jon Pareles del New York Times lo describió como “un estudio retro del pasado de la música latinoamericana, repleto de romance, añoranza y desesperación. Puede cantar boleros de grandiosa orquestación así como delicadas baladas y un rítmico boogaloo y mambo, sin insinuar ni ironía ni ingenuidad”. Algunos de los músicos más prominentes de la Isla colaboraron o participaron en la producción, entre ellos Piro Rodríguez, Charlie Sepulveda, Bayrex Jiménez, Eduardo Cabra, Fofé Abreu de Circo, Louis García y el fenecido Cheo Feliciano en lo que constituye una de sus últimas grabaciones.

The show features Paquito D’Rivera performing the music of celebrated Argentinean composer Astor Piazzolla.

He is also the first artist to win Latin GRAMMYs in both Classical and Latin Jazz categories-- for Stravinsky’s Historia del Soldado (2003) and Brazilian Dreams (2001). His numerous recordings include more than 30 solo albums. In 1988, he was a founding member of the United Nation Orchestra, a 15-piece ensemble organized by Dizzy Gillespie to showcase the fusion of Latin and Caribbean influences with jazz. D’Rivera continues to appear as guest conductor of that group which features such artists as James Moody, Slide Hampton, Airto Moreira, Flora Purim, Jon Faddis, Steve Turre, and others.

Schaaf, nacido en Nueva York, se enamoró de la música flamenca cuando era un adolescente y escuchaba los discos de Sabicas y Carlos Montoya. Aprendió Triana, de Iberia, cuando era un estudiante de la Juilliard School, con el apoyo docente de Rosina Lhévinne. Después continuó su carrera como músico de cámara y acompañante de artistas tales como Yo-Yo Ma, Jon Vickers y Renata Tebaldi. Más tarde, tras un paréntesis de veinticinco años en los que se dedicó a ser fotógrafo de músicos, retomó el piano y aprendió toda Iberia de Albéniz, su trabajo, sin duda, más amado.

This full-company work, Paquito's first dance commission and Rodrigo's first commission for a US dance company, will stretch the boundaries of Limón's legacy by uniting extraordinary music and dance. The program will also include a revival of Limón's 1956 masterwork The Emperor Jones, based on the powerful Eugene O'Neill play and set to the resonant music of Heitor Villa-Lobos.Chaconne, (1942) Limón's passionate solo featuring music by J.S.

With his latest effort, “Ultra”, Brian Lopez has begun the work of going inside himself to find out what he has to say to the world. Ultra is the product of Brian Lopez's rock n roll heart. Yes, there are the Spanish language songs, and as all the best foreign language songs do, these transcend language barriers and move the spirit with the force of their feeling. But there is more, much more to behold on Ultra, and this reveals Lopez to be very much a product of his times, speaking to his times.
