13a Entrega Anual del Latin GRAMMY - 17

Arturo
Sandoval

Caetano
Veloso

marín espinoza, collectively
known as reik, found fame,
and won a latin grammy
in 2009, for Un Día Más, an album of dreamy
vocals over gentle strumming. For Peligro, their
fourth studio album, the mexican trio decided to
take some risks and call on guest producers for
a more electronic edge and dramatic emotional
range, as on the punchy album opener "déjate
llevar," produced by and co-written by Kiko
cibrián (luz ríos, cristian castro, luis miguel)
and the atmospheric club vibe in the title track,
produced ettore grenci (natalia laFourcade,
yuridia). the dance beat is strong even on tracks
produced by cachorro lópez (Julieta Venegas,
calamaro), who had helmed the trio's third
album. But if the beat has changed, the lyrics
still aim for listeners' hearts.

Dear Diz (Everyday I Think
Of You)
Arturo Sandoval
Para el dos veces ganador del latin grammy,
el trompetista cubano arturo Sandoval, el
trompetista y director de banda dizzy gillespie
(1917-1993) fue más que un viejo maestro,
sabio y brillante. dizzy era el ídolo de Sandoval
desde mucho antes de que se conocieran en
persona en la Habana en 1977. de allí en más,
gillespie fue su empleador, su promotor, su
consejero y su amigo de por vida. es apropiado
entonces que Dear Diz (Everyday I Think Of You)
comience con gillespie presentando generosamente a Sandoval en un show en los años
ochenta como "uno de los jóvenes maestros de
la trompeta". la grabación presenta clásicos de

gillespie tales como "Be
Bop," "night In tunisia"
y "con alma" - pero
cierra, también apropiadamente, con una nota
personal de Sandoval cantando "every day I
think of you," la balada que él escribió dedicada
a gillespie. (Fg)
trumpeter and bandleader dizzy gillespie
(1917-1993) was more than a brilliant and wise
elder for two-time latin grammy winner cuban
trumpeter arturo Sandoval. He had been his
idol long before they met in person in Havana
in 1977, and from that moment on, gillespie
became his employer, champion, mentor and a
friend for life. appropriately, Dear Diz (Everyday
I Think Of You) opens with gillespie generously
introducing Sandoval at a show in the 1980s as
"one of the young masters of the trumpet." the
recording then revisits gillespie classics such
as "Be Bop," "night In tunisia" and "con alma"
- but it closes, fittingly, with a personal note,
"every day I think of you," a ballad written and
sung by Sandoval.

Especial Ivete, Gil E Caetano
Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil &
Ivete Sangalo
Simplemente escenificada y elegantemente
producida musicalmente, este especial de fin de
año de tV globo de Brasil juntó a la cantante
Ivete Sangalo y dos viejos amigos y compañeros
Tropicalistas caetano Veloso y gilberto gil, ambos cantantes y compositores. (tal vez aludiendo
a sus estilos tan diferentes tanto como al arreglo
chico-chica-chico en el escenario, Sangalo

Gilberto
Gil

Ivete Sangalo

habla del show en un video como un "sandwich
musical") el programa de 15 canciones incluye
actuaciones en solitario (Veloso cantando una
versión optimista de "Você e linda," Sangalo
cantando "atrás da Porta," nominada para
grabación del año y gil cantando una versión de
la canción de Bob marley "Is this love"). Pero
también hay dúos (gil y Veloso en "drão," Sangalo y gil en una versión encantadora de "toda
menina Baiana" de gil) y también tríos, como
en la samba final "amor até o Fim." la mayoría
de las veces, cuando grandes figures del pop se
juntan, los resultados sugieren substracción por
adición. esta es una excepción. (Fg)
Simply staged and elegantly produced musically, this year-end special by Brazil's tV globo
brought together singer Ivete Sangalo and old
friends and fellow tropicalistas caetano Veloso
and gilberto gil, both singer and songwriters.
(Perhaps alluding to their different styles as
much as the boy-girl-boy setting, in a video
Sangalo calls the show a "musical sandwich.")
as it could be expected, the 15-song set
includes solo performances (Veloso's uptempo
version of "Você e linda," Sangalo's "atras da
Porta," also nominated for record of the year,
gil's version of Bob marley's "Is this love");
duos (gil and Veloso on "drão," Sangalo and
gil on a charming take on gil's "toda menina
Baiana") and trios, as in the closing samba
"amor até o Fim." more often than not, when
major pop music figures join forces, the result is
subtraction by addition. this is an exception.
