I return to post after a long time and I apologize to those who follow this blog on a regular basis since this past December was the month insurance looser in terms of entries since I started the blog. Known by you and the lack of time for me joined the fact that walking without the heart to write, but over time you begin to feel some responsibility to which I have among their favorites and many days were uneventful. To all who happen by chance and here I want to talk about a musician who should start taking it really seriously, the guy who this year gave us what is perhaps the best and most refreshing album of a recent Chilean musician Manuel García times ....
met his work in the 90's when he recorded his first album with the band Popular Mechanics, the truth did not impress me much, probably because it seemed to be enrolled in This trend is called "brit pop" and that causes much distrust me, I mean I can try to ignorant or old parallel, but I do not understand this "manchesterieanos" or "canteburritos." For me all that was done many years ago and is just a recreation of a style completely tested and that by being "in" do arise many bands that are really crappy imitation of two or three really good.
Over there by the 2002 I heard the single "The sun is sometimes wrong" Fatamorgana disk and I said ... here is something. Bone for something this band was making an army of loyal fans and edited album after another without spreading on the radio what seems to me a good sign. The band also recorded under the legendary label Larch how good music brought us into the dark days of the military and was opened in the 90's rock.
Manuel Garcia and was noted for its particular style of singing and nice when he once began to play in a friendly meeting with his acoustic guitar some issues that kept to himself, more intimate and perhaps less suited to the repertoire of Mechanical . It turned out that among the attendees was a producer known Cuban trova specialist who dropped his snout when he heard these songs and wanted to use Manuel that will record and could perhaps edit a solo album.
In contrast to other bands about when one of its members through its ego feels it is time to leave their old friends or just get open, Manuel decided to record his first solo album with the same Popular Mechanics.
The result was "Panic", a record that at this point in my life that few things impress me, I really was blown away ... and not only me, many began to speak openly about the arrival of a new Victor Jara ... sacrilege ... I say more and although I could be wrong but Manuel has nothing to envy legendary troubadour Silvio Rodríguez, composing and playing songs that they are already singing like Mestre Nito. I would
Spinetta compared with Charly and of course for this you need a lot of records and the massive popular recognition, but I think at last we have a musician in the category that always show our gifted Argentine neighbors.
course, it is difficult to make all these comparisons when Manuel almost did not play on the radio, I think basically that we Chileans default, contrary to the Argentine default of deify those who accuse their idols. Here the media prefers to give priority to people with no talent like Sergio Lagos or give publicity to bad Beto Cuevas' solo debut ... well, for it is blogs like this. It is my intention to encourage piracy, I think this is a blog dissemination, for young people who want to venture into the great rock music and for seniors who want to recover these lost jewels. I think
Manuel Garcia is the one who is clearer and I have confidence that time will give reason, but as explained they had the audacity to present his second solo album "Tempera," claiming that one of topics are dictated Victor Jara himself in a dream.
hope you have time to prove it, the two great geniuses of our popular music is a symptom of a profound evil that afflicts us ... Victor Jara was killed by the same rule of Chile. Violeta shot himself feeling no one had reviewed his years of effort in the middle of a tent Queen which very few people would listen.
why did this post, to leave the radio aside and open your ears and hearts to these songs, without thereby harming the artist ... to see if they help to show who is ... there every critical speak "tempera" the best album of the year, for me the beginning of a great history.
I will not raise an official record, but a record recorded by the radio "Rock & Pop" to its "Rare Tocatas New" where paraphrase that old issue of Charly and has become over time a real BBC Third World to get a great recording quality of these records, made as part of the disk diffusion "Panic."
Apart from the songs of this album as the simple beauty of "sugar to coffee" or "Your Window" includes the recreation of an old theme of Mechanics, "The penalty flies", a totally new theme called "Aquarium" where it a tribute to the prisoners and the release of "It's good, is beautiful" at that time had no name.
For my own included some topics that fascinate me: "The sun is sometimes wrong," "The old communist Tempera-two issues, "Panuelí" and the namesake of the album, which does not hide the influence of Jara, but always with his own style and way of singing that we are introduced to this music of the soul and truth, for those born every several years and unfortunately so little value. Topics
recorded live for radio Rock & Pop:
As you say sugar to coffee
you speak of Aquarius (unpublished)
gold bug flying
