Photo: © Buika, La noche más larga 07 by Javi Rojo. A creative survivor, a poet, a composer and a music producer, Buika combines all the styles along with her emotionally charged lyrics and such broken sensuality in her voice. Concha Buika, born on the island of Mallorca to African immigrant parents from Equatorial Guinea, has become a true revelation to those who thought flamenco had little left to contribute to Spanish music, and to jazz. Her evident African roots and her cosmopolitanism, developed in clubs in Spain and Americanized during a strange detour to Las Vegas as a Tina Turner impersonator, explain Buika’s rare self-possession. But nothing can quite explain her ability to connect —one of those rare and wonderful “one- listen” artists. In 2010, an article by Alice Winkler of NPR listed Buika among the best 50 vocalists. The article defined her as “The voice of freedom.” The arrival of Buika’s ninth album —La noche más larga— in 2013 is taking her to a new stage of her career. An era defined by her different creative processes which include her second book of poems —To those who loved hardcore women and left them— and producing her first movie based on a tale from her book —From solitude to hell. Trying to speculate where Buika’s professional career will lead her is a mystery because there is no script when it comes to Buika. Her new music will taste like the old in their musical notes, their timing, streaming. Clearly, Buika is here to stay.

Cervantes New York and Books & Books. Born in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, as the daughter of African parents and hailed as a star in contemporary world music, jazz, flamenco, and fusion, Buika posesses a unique blend of influences as well as a remarkable voice –raw and smoky, but with a tenderness that hits right at the heart, vibrantly deploying her rich, sensual and husky instrument. In 2011, NPR listed her spellbinding sound among its 50 Great Voices, calling hers the voice of freedom. She has received multiple awards and nominations, such as Latin Grammys for Best Album and Best Production for Niña de Fuego and Best Traditional Tropical Album for El Último Trago, and she was nominated again in 2014 for Record of the Year for La Noche Más Larga and for Best Latin Jazz Album at the 2014 Grammy Awards.

Estrella Morente Lead Guitarist: José Carbonell "Montoyita"
Dossier de prensa ESTRELLA MORENTE Vocalist: Estrella Morente Lead Guitarist: José Carbonell "Montoyita" Second Guitarist: José Carbonell "Monty" Palmas and Back Up Vocals: Antonio Carbonell, Ángel Gabarre, Enrique Morente Carbonell "Kiki" Percussion: Pedro Gabarre "Popo" Song MADRID TEATROS DEL CANAL – SALA ROJA THURSDAY, JUNE 9TH AT 20:30 MORENTE EN CONCIERTO After her recent appearance at the Palau de la Música in Barcelona following the death of Enrique Morente, Estrella is reappearing in Madrid with a concert that is even more laden with sensitivity if that is possible. She knows she is the worthy heir to her father’s art so now it is no longer Estrella Morente in concert but Morente in Concert. Her voice, difficult to classify, has the gift of deifying any musical register she proposes. Although strongly influenced by her father’s art, Estrella likes to include her own things: fados, coplas, sevillanas, blues, jazz… ESTRELLA can’t be described described with words. Looking at her, listening to her and feeling her is the only way to experience her art in an intimate way. Her voice vibrates between the ethereal and the earthly like a presence that mutates between reality and the beyond. All those who have the chance to spend a while in her company will never forget it for they know they have been part of an inexplicable phenomenon. Tonight she offers us the best of her art. From the subtle simplicity of the festive songs of her childhood to the depths of a yearned-for love. The full panorama of feelings, the entire range of sensations and colours – all the experiences of the woman of today, as well as the woman of long ago, are found in Estrella’s voice.

Buika Vocals Dani De Morón Guitar Ramón Porrina Cajon Jose Manuel «Popo» Posada Oviedo Double Bass
Autour du monde Lundi / Montag / Monday 23.03.2015 20:00 Grand Auditorium Buika vocals Dani de Morón guitar Ramón Porrina cajon Jose Manuel «Popo» Posada Oviedo double bass ~90’ sans entracte / ohne Pause Dans le cadre du «Printemps musical – Festival de Luxembourg» Coopération avec Luxembourg City Tourist Office, Events & Culture (LCTO) Buika & Band Richard Robert En 2008, sur la pochette de son album «Niña de fuego», Concha Buika, née María Concepción Balboa Buika, pose nue, assise de trois quarts dos, sa chevelure de jais tombant en éclaboussures sur la roche noire de ses épaules, telle une Vénus africaine sor- tant du bain. Aux journalistes qui viennent alors l’interviewer, l’Espagnole originaire de Guinée équatoriale, dans l’un de ces rires carnassiers qui, à intervalles réguliers, dévorent la fin de ses phrases, a coutume d’expliquer qu’elle a préféré se rhabiller pour partir à leur rencontre. Avant d’ajouter que c’est dans l’art du chant qu’elle aime avant tout s’exhiber dans le plus simple appa- reil. «La musique est le dernier endroit où j’ai envie de me travestir et de mentir, déclare-t-elle ainsi. Dans la vie, il existe plein de circonstances dans lesquelles je ne trouve pas nécessaire de dire la vérité. Mais quand je chante, je n’ai pas d’autre choix que de me dévoiler. La musique me per- met d’accéder à une certaine forme de liberté intérieure, que je chéris par- dessus tout et que je ne pourrais pas atteindre par le biais du mensonge.» Dans d’autres bouches, ces propos pourraient aisément passer pour une banale profession de foi, entonnée sur l’air mille fois rebattu de «Je suis forcément une grande chanteuse, puisque je vous ouvre mon cœur.» Mais il n’y a pas de chantage à la sincérité chez Buika, dont la voix granuleuse et perforante s’est forgée loin des scènes et des projecteurs, au contact brûlant du flamenco des gitans de Palma de Majorque, la ville où elle est née et a grandi, avant de s’acérer encore un peu plus à la flamme du blues, du funk ou de la soul.

Uncorrected Proof
18 Almodóvar ’ s Global Musical Marketplace Kathleen M. Vernon On December 11, 2007 Pedro Almodóvar convened a news conference at the Reina Sofía Museum in Madrid to celebrate the release of the double CD B.S.O. Almodóvar (Banda Sonora Original, original film score) during which he also announced the beginning of shooting for his seventeenth feature film, Los abrazos rotos / Broken Embraces (2009). Lest his audience fail to have noted the consistent imbrication of music and cinema, song and story in his body of work, the director called attention to this linkage in his words of introduction: “Las canciones en mis películas son parte esencial del guión . [T]ienen una función drámatica y narrativa, son tan descriptivas como los colores, la luz, los decorados, o los diálogos” (The songs in my films are an essential part of the script. They have a dramatic and narrative function; they are as descriptive as the use of color, lighting, scenery or dialogue) (Almodóvar 2007 ). Rather than attempting to illustrate the accuracy of these comments, the goal of this chapter is to explore the global contours of the texts and contexts of the larger Almodovarian creative universe, focusing less on the films themselves than on what we might call the Almodóvar discography. Thus the Almodóvar I propose to study is not the film director contemporary of a Lars von Trier, Quentin Tarantino or Gus Van Sant but instead the musician-producer- transcultural impresario whose fellow practitioners are Ry Cooder, Paul Simon and David Byrne or even Almodóvar ’ s own collaborator, Caetano Veloso. This model of the cultural entrepreneur also recalls the longstanding comparisons between Almodóvar and Andy Warhol, who in his multiple roles of “painter and sculptor, rock promoter, film producer, advertiser, starmaker and stargazer” is described by Juan A.

Charles Armstrong 24 October 2012 Linguistics Research Thesis Advisor: Prof. Aaron Dinkin Vox Evocative: Pinpointing a possible sociological strategy for the typing of the phonatory and articulatory features of a singing genre Introduction The human singing voice. Discrepancies in the quantification and description of the work of our vocal cords offer a seemingly eternal source of academic discord. Despite the ubiquity of familiarity with singing voices, scientists and listeners alike seem to still perpetuate these massive discrepancies over the shared experience of listening to singing voices. One might expect a phenomenon almost as accessible as observing the blueness of the sky to have a consensual academic explanation. However, despite the amount of attention paid to the phenomenon of human singing by scientists and listeners around the world, much discordance and attention remains over how to describe and quantify this experience. Maybe this aforementioned academic conflict over quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the singing voice owes to the sheer acoustic diversity of human singing voices. If singing voices and styles were more homogenous objective entities, maybe the work of voice scientists and critical listeners would be simpler. Works of science fiction, even popular cartoons like Dexter's Laboratory and Family Guy, beg the comparison of voice scans to fingerprints. Just like the right voice evokes a response in these fictitious scanning machines, certain vocal qualities tend to evoke certain evaluations by humans. The ubiquity of references such as the ones from the described cartoons makes a case for the existence of a common latent acceptance of the unique and evocative qualities of the human voice.

Mariza Vocals António Neto Portuguese Guitar Pedro Jóia Acoustic Guitar Nando Araújo Double Bass Vicky Marques Drums, Percussion
Autour du monde Vendredi / Freitag / Friday 11.10.2013 20:00 Grand Auditorium Mariza vocals António Neto Portuguese guitar Pedro Jóia acoustic guitar Nando Araújo double bass Vicky Marques drums, percussion ~90’ sans entracte / ohne Pause Backstage 18:45 Salle de Musique de Chambre Film: Mariza and the Story of Fado by Simon Broughton (2006) (VO E, P / ST E) – 58’ «Uma estranha forma de vida» Mariza Agnès Pellerin Mariza est très vite devenue au Portugal et dans le monde glo- balisé de la world music, un véritable phénomène, dont les pres- tations sur scène ont tout de suite dépassé le simple concert de fado. Sa carrière fulgurante l’a hissée en l’espace de quelques an- nées seulement au sommet des records de ventes et de succès. Son premier album Fado em mim lancé en 2001, sera édité dans 32 pays par la firme hollandaise World Connection alors qu’il était initialement prévu en autoédition. Au Portugal, il est ven- du en quelques semaines à plus de dix mille exemplaires. Deux ans plus tard, son deuxième album, Fado curvo, produit par Carlos Maria Trindade, musicien du groupe Madredeus, devient Disque d’or au Portugal et donne lieu à une tournée mondiale d’une ampleur rarement égalée par un artiste portugais. En 2003 toujours, la BBC Radio 3 consacre Mariza meilleure artiste eu- ropéenne de l’année, dans la catégorie world music. L’année sui- vante, Pedro Santana Lopes, alors maire de Lisbonne, fera écho à cette aura internationale en la nommant ambassadrice de la candidature du fado au patrimoine culturel oral et immatériel de l’humanité de l’Unesco aux côtés de Carlos do Carmo.

ANDRES VADIN Los Angeles, California Guitarist Born in Cuba, Andres Vadin’s talent spans many different genres while highlighting the flamenco guitar as a universal instrument with no boundaries — a breathtaking fusion of traditional and contemporary interpretations, often infused with Cuban, Arabic, and jazz influences. Vadin graduated from the Guillermo Tomas and Almadeo Roldan Conservatory of Music in Habana. He began studying music at the age of 10 and won first prize in the Almadeo Roldan music competition at the age of 12. Vadin has played for some of the most talented flamenco artists known today, including Antonio Carmona, José Antonio Rodríguez, and Maria Juncal. He has also collaborated on Latin Grammy-nominated albums twice — in 2005 with Aceituna sin Hueso on the album Cuba Le Canta A Serrat and in 2017 with Oskar Cartaya on the album Bajo Mundo. He has toured throughout the world performing with Concha Buika, Faramarz Aslani, Wadih Al Safi, Billy Cobhan, and in festivals such as WOMAD, Glastonbury, Montreal International Jazz Music Festival, and at rock legend Steve Vai’s Big Mama Jama Jam-a-thon. His work as a session musician includes the movie soundtracks for “Whale of a Tale” and “Bel Canto.” One of his great passions is teaching music and he partners on a regular basis with Barrio Music, an L.A. based organization that provides music education to children in neighborhoods in L.A. Vadin is endorsed by Godin and Bartolex Guitars. DIEGO “EL NEGRO” ALVAREZ Los Angeles, California Studio/Independent Percussionist Diego "El Negro" Alvarez, born in Venezuela, is a master cajón player.
