Tlaxcaltecatl Latin Jazz Band Tlaxcaltecatl Latin Jazz Band Es un equipo de músicos mexicanos dedicado a la representación y promoción artística. La diversidad, autenticidad y la elevada calidad de los proyectos con los que trabaja, lo han caracterizado desde su formación, de ahí su presencia en marcos culturales de distinta índole en México: Jornadas y Encuentros Culturales, Eventos Universitarios, Programas Delegacionales, Ferias y Festivales, Bailes Masivos, entre otros. TLAXCALTECATL LATIN JAZZ BAND Es una agrupación con propuesta original en la escena del jazz latino en México. Su impresionante frente de metales, acompañado de una fuerte y sólida sección de percusiones, da como resultado un sonido claro y contundente de la interpretación mexicana del jazz latino, con todo el color y sabor que solamente puede emanar de un proyecto mexicano, digno de alternar con cualquier agrupación de este género a nivel internacional. Es un proyecto hecho en México, para él y para el mundo, de la calidad que solamente pueden dar músicos de enorme trayectoria; de gusto que comparten el aficionado y el conocedor; es un proyecto que bien pertenece a la familia de aquellos que enganchan al escucha hacia una cultura e información musicales distintas. Nace como un taller familiar fundado por Raymundo Tlaxcaltecatl en abril de 1992, tres años después se convierte en un proyecto sólido con el propósito de difundir el jazz latino en México. Entre sus presentaciones destacan Expromusic 1999, 2000, 2001, 2004; Acapulco Jazz Festival 1999, 2000; participaciones en eventos delegacionales (Tlalpan, Coyoacán, Azcapotzalco); XXIII Festival de Jazz de la Escuela Nacional de Música de la UNAM; Festival METROJAZZ 2006; Coyote Festival 2007; Teatro Juárez de Gto, Gto y Festival Nacional de Jazz 2008.

El ensemble reúne a los veteranos de la familia Tlaxcaltecatl con la nueva generación de músicos, el resultado de esta unión es una expresión musical de gran riqueza.

En entrevista el músico nos comparte los motivos que lo llevaron a recorrer este nuevo sendero. Este nuevo disco que incluye CD + DVD se llama “Mestizos” por la sencilla razón de que es lo que somos. Somos el resultado de una mezcla muy rica entre blancos, africanos y árabes. Una mixtura que se refleja a la hora de hacer música. Yo que me he estado dando a la tarea de investigar y estudiar la cuestión de nuestra música y me he encontrado con la maravilla de que no tiene límites ni fronteras porque es una música mestiza. En la época de la colonia era peyorativo llamarse mestizo ya que significaba que no se era de raza pura cuando hoy podemos ver que todo lo que es puro no evoluciona, no crece, está en un callejón sin salida, todo esto relacionado con el arte por supuesto. Los mexicanos tenemos un gran motivo para estar orgullosos, somos mestizos, aunque los medios y la trasculturización se encargue de querer avergonzarnos de ello. A mayor mestizaje, mayor mixtura y riqueza. Notas más bonitas y más variedad de ellas con diferentes intensiones y direcciones. El disco nació a partir de ahí. Hay piezas mexicanistas, funk, R&B, latinas y una pieza con orquesta. Pepe Hernández se destaca al ejercer la composición en cada material La composición es una disciplina que he adquirido a través de los años. Todos los días se sienta al piano y compone música. Por ahí sale alguna idea y de repente sale la canción completa que es algo que se da muy seguido. Conforme las estoy compone piensa en la instrumentación y la historia que la inspiró. Generalmente sus canciones tienen una historia y un por qué. Cada producción de Pepe Hernández se caracteriza por el amplio número de músicos que participan en ellos. Toda la batería la tocó Alex Gómez. En los pianos, unos los tocó mi hermano Nando otros los tocó Jorge Pacheco y Daniel López Infanzón. Las guitarras las interpretó Jean Paul Bideau, Paco Herrejón, hay una pieza que grabó Roberto Arballo “Betuco”. Tengo dos percusionestas Pinaca y Memo Siliceo. En el saxofón tengo a Pedro Julio Avilés y hay tres canciones que cantó Fela Dominguez. http://youtu.be/WQ9YXgxAp8Q Mole Caribeño Jazz Band Presenta una fusión de ritmos y melodías basadas en raíces africanas y caribeñas con un fondo de armonía jazzística. Explora diversos géneros y repertorios tal como el jazz, el reggae de Bob Marley, la música de los Beatles, las canciones del World music y sobre todo el repertorio folklórico haitiano. Conjuga esos géneros con ritmos como el Calypso, reggae, reggaeton, soca y zouk. Además explora el universo rítmico africano como el Petro, congo, yanvalou y más. Mole Caribeño Jazz Band. Se consolida como tal en México, a inicios del año 2008, está conformada por músicos haitianos que comenzaron el proyecto diez años antes en su país natal, haciendo referencia a la orquesta de jazz de la ENARTS (Escuela Nacional de las Artes), Puerto Príncipe, Haití año 2000. Mole Caribeño Jazz Band se propone: Promover una visión humanista a través de la música Ofrecer nuestros talentos para lograr un efecto liberador en el público.

  • Jazz Rock Fusion Surviving Four Decades and Counting…
    1 of 38 Jazz Rock Fusion Surviving Four Decades and Counting… By, Rick Calic www.jazzrockworld.com March 2006 Writing an article about Jazz Rock Fusion these days might seem as pointless as debating the benefits of Hi-Fi equipment with vacuum tubes vs. transistors to someone that uses an iPod. The only people that would care are older folks who even remember tubes and dedicated enthusiasts. On the other hand, while Jazz Rock Fusion might be older or seem equally pointless to many reading this article, there remains a large but scattered segment of the world’s population that sees the genre as a vibrant and legitimate art form. Sadly though, the musical perspective regarding Jazz Rock Fusion was narrow from the beginning and will probably always be that way. Jazz Rock Fusion, in terms of the entire world of music, constitutes just a tiny fraction of interest. Yet, if we accept this as fact, which most fans, musicians and certainly “big business” does, the generation of any interest at all is meritorious. In order to discuss the music with integrity, a ground rule needs to be established. This ground rule is required due to the unsolved, long lasting, and ongoing mysteries of the music and its unique identity. Mysteries such as: What is Jazz Rock Fusion? Who started Jazz Rock Fusion? What should it be called? And finally, with no major media support why is there still a market? So, what are the answers you ask? Quite simply these mysteries will remain mysteries. Answering the questions definitively will end up as trivial as the facts regarding the creation and development of the gut bucket.
