COMPRO ORO Suburban Exotica DESCRIPTION Compro Oro ; a psychedelic underground road trip to Africa, the Middle East and the Americas via Belgium. On the band's Suburban Exotica , the spirit of Cal Tjader , Mulatu Astatke , or Marc Ribot is never far away. One of the leading bands in the ever-expanding new wave of Belgian jazz, Compro Oro's wayward and psychedelic approach to a broad range of sounds has gained them a devoted fan base since the band's formation in 2014. Produced by Ghent-based multi-instrumentalist Dijf Sanders , Suburban Exotica digs deep into several ethnic music traditions, leaving the listener enthralled in dark grooves and rabid psychedelica. From the danceable beats and colorful sounds of "Miami New Wave", the exotic rhythms and textures of "10 Dollar Jeans Jacket", and the curious vibraphone infusions and wild guitar riffs of "Rastapopoulos", to the heady, bass-laden mover and shaker "Lalibela", and traditional Latin and Cuban rhythms of "Dark Crystal", Compro Oro offer wild, profound, and uncanny flavors that explore the best of Afro-Cuban music and jazz-tinged psychedelia. Suburban Exotica features drummer, keyboardist, and percussionist Joachim Cooder , son of guitar legend Ry Cooder who played on both the landmark Buena Vista Social Club albums and the Manuel Galban spin-off, Mambo Sinuendo . He adds percussion and his effects-laden electric mbira to three tracks on the album: "Miami New Wave", "Rastapopoulos", and "Dark Crystal". "I had a great time COMPRO ORO playing on this record. Compro Oro blends together so many interesting rhythms and styles that I never knew what was coming next. I like to work that way." On Suburban Suburban Exotica Exotica , Compro Oro's Wim Segers adds, "Thanks to Bart (Vervaeck ) and saxophonist Nathan Daems (Black Flower ), I've discovered Arab and Turkish music. I've learned to embrace my own neighborhood. When you live in this part of Label Ghent, Eastern rhythms are the beat of the street." Vervaeck chips in, "We aren't SDBAN ULTRA Cuban; we aren't Morocccan --we know that. We just sail from one coast to another. Finding our own place." CD version comes in a digipack. LP version comes in a gatefold sleeve. Format Format CD LP TRACKLISTING Catalog Number Catalog Number 01.

  • Montuno Sadly Announces the Passing of One of Cuba's Finest
    1931 - 2011 Montuno sadly announces the passing of one of Cuba’s finest guitarists, Manuel Galbán, who died on Thursday 7th July 2011, in Havana at 80 years old. At just 13 years old, he made his professional debut. He moved to Havana in 1956 where he worked with a number of bands and it was during this time that he began to make a name for himself within the Havana music scene. He joined the internationally acclaimed Los Zafiros in 1963, they combined the Cuban filín movement with other music styles such as bolero, doo-wop, calypso music, bossa nova and rock. This fusion transformed Los Zafiros into one of the most popular Cuban groups of the time and changed the course of Cuban music. They achieved international fame and performed at several venues in Europe including the Paris L’Olympia, a concert that was even attended by the Beatles. Galbán re- mained with the group for the majority of their career, becoming one of their key members. He was so important to the group’s success that the prominent Cuban pianist Peruchi once said of him: “You’d need two guitarists to replace Galbán”. From 1972 through 1975, Galbán led Cuba’s national music ensemble, Dirección Nacional de Música, before forming his own group Batey where he remained for 23 years. With Batey, Galbán toured the world and became one of the key ambassadors of Cuban music. During this period he recorded number of albums documenting popular Cuban music with the prestigious Cuban record label Egrem and the Bulgarian label Balkanton.

  • Manuel Galbán
    Manuel Galbán Manuel Galbán nace en 1931 en Gibara, en la provincia de Holguín (Cuba), en el seno de una familia profundamente vinculada a la música, ya que dos de sus hermanos tocaban la guitarra, su padre tocaba el tres y su madre cantaba. Su educación musical, fundamentalmente autodidacta, se inició muy pronto, “cuando, sentado en un taburete, todavía no me llegaban los pies al suelo”, contaba Manuel Galbán, y ya desde un primer momento fue alternando la guitarra con el tres en distintas formaciones locales. Su debut profesional se produce en 1944, con la Orquesta Villa Blanca. En 1956, Galbán se traslada a La Habana. Durante los siguientes siete años, el guitarrista alternará las actuaciones en diferentes locales de la capital con las apariciones en emisiones radiofónicas y la participación en distintos trabajos discográficos. Estos años son fundamentales en la carrera de Galbán, pues es cuando se da a conocer en la escena musical cubana, que descubre el fraseo que lo hará famoso y ese sonido que sólo él ha sabido extraer de la guitarra. No en vano, Galbán será uno de los primeros guitarristas de la historia en emplear habitualmente la mano derecha para mutear el sonido de las cuerdas y extraer unos tonos secos de su instrumento, unos tonos que acercan la sonoridad de la guitarra a la de un instrumento de percusión. Al mismo tiempo, su interés por la música norteamericana le lleva a explorar también los sonidos que unos años más tarde se harán populares en la música de inspiración surfera y a incorporarlos a su estilo.

  • Manuel Galbán
    Manuel Galbán Manuel Galbán was born in 1931 in Gibara, Holguín Province (Cuba), into a very musical family. Two of his siblings played the guitar, his father played the tres and his mother sang. He was essentially a self-taught musician who began playing at a very early age “my feet didn’t even touch the ground when I sat on a stool”, as he explained. He played the guitar and the tres in several local groups and made his professional debut in 1944 with the Villa Blanca Orchestra. In 1956 Galbán moved to Havana where for seven years he performed in bars and clubs, as well as making several radio appearances and featuring on a number of albums. This was a key stage in Galbán’s career as he began to make a name for himself on the Cuban music scene. He also developed the sound that he would become renowned for. Galbán became one of the first guitarists to use his right hand to mute the sound of the strings and whilst creating dry tones, drawing the guitar’s sound closer to that of a percussion instrument. Likewise, his interest in the music being produced in the USA led him to explore sounds that would later become popular in the realms of surf music, sounds he would come to incorporate within his style. Seven years after moving to Havana, in 1963, Galbán joined Los Zafiros, a vocal group formed the previous year, that combined the Cuban music style filín with other musical styles such as bolero, doo-wop, calypso music, bossa nova and rock.
