Well, aside from being amongst some of the more innovative salsa groups of all times, they all used the vibraphone as their lead melodic instrument, while omitting the utilization of any Somos Son horns in their arrangements.

Mr. Ray Windows Media Quicktime Manny Silvera Bassed in America Windows Media Quicktime In the cosmopolitan Catalonian city of Barcelona, Spain, a group of salsa musicians came together with the purpose of making music inspired primarily by the sounds of the early pioneers of the salsa movement in New York City, hence the birth of the group called "Bloque 53". The following is a recent Skype interview between Bloque 53's percussionist/composer/ bandleader Joaquín "Waco" Arteaga and Latin Beat Magazine's Rudy Mangual... 3 of 49 4/30/2012 8:43 PM LBMO.com - Latin Beat Magazine - Latin Music Magazine - Features http://www.latinbeatmagazine.com/features.html Rudy Mangual (RM): Congratulations on Bloque 53's recent release ("Tumba Puchunga") and thank you for choosing Latin Beat Magazine to internationally promote your music and your products. Joaquín Arteaga (JA): Thank you very much for the opportunity to showcase Bloque 53 in the pages of Latin Beat Magazine. It's a great honor for me and all the members of Bloque 53 to be featured in such a special and renowned publication. RM: Are you originally from Barcelona? JA: No, I'm a native of Caracas, Venezuela. I was fortunate to win a scholarship in Venezuela to study music abroad in 1998. Initially, I planned to attend the Berklee School of Music in Boston, but financially, it was not possible. So I opted to study in Barcelona. After graduating (as a percussion major), I was offered a position in the school to teach, which I accepted. That was over 13 years ago. Now, I'm practically Catalonian. 4 of 49 4/30/2012 8:43 PM LBMO.com - Latin Beat Magazine - Latin Music Magazine - Features http://www.latinbeatmagazine.com/features.html RM: Do you speak Catalán (the language of Catalonia? JA: I do; it's not that difficult. The fact that I teach many kids and young adults who mainly prefer to speak Catalán made it easier for me to learn the language a bit faster. You learn so much faster from the kids, it's amazing! 5 of 49 4/30/2012 8:43 PM LBMO.com - Latin Beat Magazine - Latin Music Magazine - Features http://www.latinbeatmagazine.com/features.html RM: How did Bloque 53 come to be? JA: The band came together around 2006. We initially named ourselves “Chicha y Melao” due to the fact that the band was composed of white and black musicians. Chicha is the name of a white South American beverage (made of pineapple rinds, sugar, or molasses), while the term melao (or melado) refers to the honey-colored, twice boild-down juice of the sugar cane. As a vibe-led sextet, we had all agreed to play scores from the Joe Cuba Sextet’s repertoire, as well as interpretations from groups such as Son Boricua and Seis del Solar. Yet, we were not happy with the band’s original name. It was too festive. After a while, we all decided to add a new vocalist to the group, making us an octet rather than a sextet, and the name issue came into discussion once again. While discussing possible new names for the band, one of our original Venezuelan ex- members, Lenin Jiménez, mentioned that the band had come to resemble a block, with three vocalists in the front row and five musicians in the back (like the streets of his native neighborhood in Caracas) and suggested our current name, “Bloque 53”, which was precisely where his grandmother lived in Barrio 23 de Enero in Caracas. Therefore, by 2007, we had become Bloque 53. RM: In your latest CD production “Tumba Puchunga”, the recording features as special guests “Los Trombones de Tromboranga”. What is Tromboranga? JA: Tromboranga is a special and separate project from Bloque 53. It’s led by trombonists Vladimir Peña and Tom Johnson, as well as vocalist Freddy Ramos (from Bloque 53). I have also been involved with Tromboranga for the past two years. Tromboranga is a trombone- propelled salsa ensemble favoring the sounds of groups like Conjunto Libre, Willie Colón, and Eddie Palmieri’s La Perfecta. We recorded a four-track EP a year ago, which continues to receive good airplay throughout Europe. What happened was that, while working with Tromboranga, the date for Bloque 53’s new production came up and we had to stop work with Tromboranga. About six months ago, both bands performed together in a concert, joining forces in the end as one group and sounding incredible. Therefore, while conducting the new Bloque 53 recording, we decided to invite Los Trombones de Tromboranga to add their magic to our final mix. Another guest musician on the recording is trumpeter Albert Perez, featured on the selection 6 of 49 4/30/2012 8:43 PM LBMO.com - Latin Beat Magazine - Latin Music Magazine - Features http://www.latinbeatmagazine.com/features.html “Bésame Otra Vez.” RM: If I am fortunate enough to catch Bloque 53 performing this coming summer in Barcelona or throughout Europe, will I see the band with or without trombones? JA: This year we will definitely play with trombones, and perhaps even a trumpet, especially while promoting the new CD. Bloque 53 likes to have that element of experimentation and surprise for its fans with every one of its productions… Our debut CD, “La Ruta de la Salsa”, introduced the group’s vibraphone-based salsa and Latin jazz sound to Barcelona and the entire world, inspired by the music of both Joe Cuba and Seis del Solar… Our second production, “Bloque 53 Te Hace Mover Los Pies” (Bloque 53 Makes You Move Your Feet), was a more ambitious production, loaded with more original hardcore salsa scores aimed to please the dancers. Our third and latest production, “Tumba Puchunga” showcases the latest evolution of the band with a frontline of three vocalists and the addition of guest musicians from our brother group Tromboranga, for the ultimate salsa experience. RM: Can you introduce the members of Bloque 53? JA: The vocal frontline includes the energetic and beautiful Yadira Ferrer (from Holguín, Cuba), Damián "El Bombón" Alonso (from Havana, Cuba), and Freddy Ramos (from Caracas, Venezuela). The band features Marcel Pascual (from Barcelona) on vibraphone, Andreu Cañadell (from Colombia) is featured on piano in the recording, but Rafael Magartal (also from Colombia is 7 of 49 4/30/2012 8:43 PM LBMO.com - Latin Beat Magazine - Latin Music Magazine - Features http://www.latinbeatmagazine.com/features.html our current pianist. Colombian bassist Simón Delgado is one of the original members of the band and is responsible for all the arrangements of this new recording. Rhumer Mora (from Venezuela) laid down all the conga tracks for the recording, but currently Compota (from Cuba) has the conga chair in the band, and yours truly, Joaquín Arteaga, is responsible for most of the original compositions, while playing timbal, bongó, quinto, and güiro throughout the entire production. RM: What is the state of salsa in Barcelona? JA: During the 14 years that I have been calling Barcelona my home, there has always been salsa music around.

This dance, now known as “on 2” mambo, or salsa, for its relationship to the clave, is the first uniquely North American form of vernacular Latino dance on the East Coast. This paper traces the New York mambo’s develop- ment from its beginnings at the Palladium Ballroom through the salsa and hustle years and up to the present time. The current period is characterized by increasing growth, commercialization, codification, and a blending with other modern, urban dance genres such as hip-hop.

  • Latin Rhythm from Mambo to Hip Hop
    Latin Rhythm From Mambo to Hip Hop Introductory Essay Professor Juan Flores, Latino Studies, Department of Social and Cultural Analysis, New York University In the latter half of the 20th century, with immigration from South America and the Caribbean increasing every decade, Latin sounds influenced American popular music: jazz, rock, rhythm and blues, and even country music. In the 1930s and 40s, dance halls often had a Latin orchestra alternate with a big band. Latin music had Americans dancing -- the samba, paso doble, and rumba -- and, in three distinct waves of immense popularity, the mambo, cha-cha and salsa. The “Spanish tinge” made its way also into the popular music of the 50s and beyond, as artists from The Diamonds (“Little Darling”) to the Beatles (“And I Love Her”) used a distinctive Latin beat in their hit songs. The growing appeal of Latin music was evident in the late 1940s and 50s, when mambo was all the rage, attracting dance audiences of all backgrounds throughout the United States, and giving Latinos unprecedented cultural visibility. Mambo, an elaboration on traditional Cuban dance forms like el danzón, la charanga and el son, took strongest root in New York City, where it reached the peak of its artistic expression in the performances and recordings of bandleader Machito (Frank Grillo) and his big-band orchestra, Machito and His Afro-Cubans. Machito’s band is often considered the greatest in the history of Latin music. Along with rival bandleaders Tito Rodríguez and Tito Puente, Machito was part of what came to be called the Big Three.

  • Central Park Rumba: Nuyorican Identity and the Return to African Roots
    CENTRO Journal Volume7 xx111 Number 1 spring 2011 CENTRAL PARK RUMBA: NUYORICAN IDENTITY AND THE RETURN TO AFRICAN ROOTS BERTA JOTTAR ABSTRACT This essay focuses on the performance of Central Park rumba in the 1960s and 1970s, and its role in the formation of Nuyorican (Puerto Ricans from New York City) identity. Puerto Ricans and Nuyoricans learned and reinterpreted traditional Cuban rumba as their return and performance of African roots. Their search for “roots” resulted in the articulation of a Nuyorican identity reproducing their mediated memory, a rumba knowledge based on mechanical reproduction. What I designate as rumba à la boricua—the result of a mediated, hybrid subjectivity— generated a space of negotiation and contestation against the limitations of nationalism and neo- colonialism. [Keywords: Afro-Latin, Nuyorican, Puerto Rican, rumba, salsa, mediated memory, identity, hybridity, Central Park] Photograph of Pe Conga’s cajón drum—made by Apache—with a late 1970s pasted photograph of the Rumberos All Star: Eddy Mercado, Pedro “Pe Conga” López, Nestor “Budy” Bonilla, Miguel “Chino” Santiago, Cowboy, Anthony Negrón, José “Apache” Rivera, and David Lugo (photographer of the Rumberos All Star unknown).

[ 5 ] IN HIS STUDY ON PUERTO RICAN MUSIC AND CULTURAL IDENTITY through the 1950s, Peter Manuel (1994) analyzes how Puerto Rican borrowings, synthesis, and creative appropriation of Cuban music resulted in its transformation and/or resignification. These processes enunciate Puerto Rico’s diverse nationalist articulations of cultural pride and identity through the reinvention of Cuban genres or the revitalization of traditional folklore in both Puerto Rico (música jíbara, plena and bomba) and New York City (Nuyorican salsa and plena as urban folklore).
