American Clavé for IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11131 Waterman Drive Reston, VA 20191 Americanclaverecords@Gmail.Com american clavé FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11131 Waterman Drive Reston, VA 20191 [email protected] KIP HANRAHAN AND AMERICAN CLAVE LAUNCH CROWDSOURCING CAMPAIGN TO RECORD ALBUM DUE IN OCTOBER 2015 An Icon for the Iconoclasts, legendary producer KIP HANRAHAN is planning a new release for October 2015 on his label, american clavé, which released its first album in 1980. Like the rest of his label american clavé’s catalogue, this record will be, as The Independent (London), has said “…rich beyond compare.” Hanrahan’s music has been described by the New York Times, “There is nothing quite like Mr. Hanrahan’s music – a steamy blend of rhythmic and melodic tensions, drawn from musicians of different traditions, …yet with something very much his own.” This is Kip’s first time in the studio in five years, following up 2011’s “At Home in Anger” which was released in partnership with Enja/Yellowbird. Unlike his previous releases, this one is being funded entirely by an INDIEGOGO “crowdsourcing” campaign, and will be released independently by american clavé, in digital and CD formats. The campaign, launched and managed directly by Kip and his daughter Leijia, includes not only the options for supporters to pre-order the album, but also to have access to unreleased studio and live tapes, visits to the studio sessions, and even claim an Executive Producer credit on the album. Hanrahan contends that crowdsourcing is “not busking – we’re not just passing around the hat to raise the necessary money, we’re asking long term fans, recent fans, and curious or driven new listeners to be partners. We’re inviting listeners to be engaged from the very beginning as partners without whom this project would not be possible.” He describes this desired directness between the listener and the musicians as, actually, “something pretty wonderful, no?” The roster of american clavé collaborators is the most diverse roster of musicians any one artist can lay claim to, stretching the farthest reaches of jazz, rock, latin, and world music. Including the departed legends Jack Bruce, Milton Cardona and Astor Piazzolla, Kip’s music has been brought to life by Allen Toussaint, Ruben Blades, Arto Lindsay, Don Pullen, Taj Mahal, Brandon Ross, Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez, David Murray, Fernando Saunders, Yosvany Terry, and many more. Amongst the musicians currently confirmed for the new record are two of Kip’s most enduring collaborators; legendary bassist/composer STEVE SWALLOW and New Orleans royalty, saxophonist CHARLES NEVILLE. The INDIEGOGO campaign seeks to raise $40,000, which Hanarahan admits is ambitious, “please understand that the reason the budget’s a little higher than most of the other music crowdsourcing drives is that we, as always, will be recording in real studios - with REAL NEVE boards, and the right mikes and outboard - and will be mastered in a real (REAL) mastering studio, with Greg Calbi, the BEST. It’s the reasons american clavé records always SOUND so special, as special as the music itself is.” www.indiegogo.com/projects/new-american-clave-record .

  • Milton Cardona
    Milton Cardona Milton Cardona, a Puerto Rican percussionist who was a mainstay of New York salsa, a studio musician on hundreds of albums and a Santeria priest who introduced sacred traditional rhythms to secular audiences, died on Sept. 19 in the Bronx. He was 69. The cause was heart failure, said his wife, Bruni. In Latin bands and at recording sessions led by David Byrne, Paul Simon, Herbie Hancock and many others, Mr. Cardona primarily played conga drums — generally not as a flashy soloist but as the kinetic foundation and spark of a percussion section. He was an authoritative advocate for some of Latin music’s deepest traditions; he was also a vital, innovative participant in many ambitious fusions. Mr. Cardona worked with the trombonist and bandleader Willie Colón on and off through four decades and was a member of the singer Hector Lavoe’s band from 1974 to 1987. He also recorded two albums as a leader and led the Santeria group Eya Aranla. Mr. Cardona was a santero, a priest of Santeria, the Afro- Caribbean religion rooted in the Yoruba culture of West Africa. Santeria invokes a pantheon of African deities with rhythms and songs that have filtered into the popular music of Latin America and the world. Mr. Cardona studied the Yoruba language to understand the traditional prayers he was singing. “I always said, ‘Why should I learn the prayer if I don’t know what it means?’ ” he explained in an interview with Drum magazine. The rhythms of Santeria are traditionally played on batá drums, a family of three hand drums.

I pass food to the fire for your grandmothers who loved themselves enough to create you. I praise our Native women poets, for what you remember, chiseling glacier valleys, channel-swelled wetlands cell-nourished in bodymemory, for shortcircuiting in spurts the clenched grip on the backs of our necks, for lighting a sap-lit stick miles from safe harbor. And I am sorry. I ask your forgiveness, I bask in the epochal Taku wind you clutched close the last time you walked far inland. And I walk beside you, clan mothers, multicolored ribbons dangle off the loom, as each one awaits your signature drawn in silt, and I will return to my village and tell kinspeople how pleased we were to dine on deer stew with you, everpresent storytelling until the raven cawed.

  • Andy González
    Andy González Andy González is a New York-based double-bass player. Born on January 1, 1951 in The Bronx, New York, González is a respected and prolific Jazz, Latin-Jazz and Salsa musician, composer and arranger of Puerto Rican ancestry and long-time musical callaborator with brother Jerry González, founding members of Conjunto Anabaco and Grupo Folklórico y Experimental Nuevayorkino with whom he made three records: Concepts of Unity (1974), Lo Dice Todo (1975) and Homenaje a Arsenio (2011). The band members were: Jerry and Andy González, Frankie Rodríguez, Milton Cardona, Gene Golden, Carlos Mestre, Nelson González, Manny Oquendo, Óscar Hernández, José Rodríguez, Gonzalo Fernández, Alfredo “Chocolate” Armenteros, Willy García, Heny Álvarez, Virgilio Martí, Marcelino Guerra, Rubén Blades, Orlando “Puntilla” Ríos, and Julito Collazo. By the age of 13, Andy and his brother Jerry formed the Latin Jazz Quintet, a group inspired by Cal Tjader’s small group latin jazz recordings. After two years of professional experience with the Quintet, Andy scored his first major gig with Fania Records artist Monguito Santamaria. This led to an affiliation with Fania, who utilized Andy as a bassist on numerous recordings. He eventually became a major voice in the bands of Fania’s two most important bandleaders: Ray Barretto and Eddie Palmieri. After leaving Palmieri’s band, he became the musical director in Manny Oquendo’s Libre, a Salsa band that continued the classic New York sound. Striving to combine jazz ideals with a variety of traditional Latin music Andy and his peers produced two recordings as Grupo Folklorico Y Experimental. Soon after, Andy joined his brother Jerry to create The Fort Apache Band, which set the standard for cutting edge Latin Jazz.

  • Giovanni Hidalgo
    Giovanni Hidalgo Giovanni Hidalgo a.k.a. “Mañenguito” (born November 22, 1963) is an educator, percussionist and recording artist in the genre’ of Latin jazz. Hidalgo was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico where he received his primary education. His grandfather had also been a musician, as well as his father José Manuel Hidalgo “Mañengue”, who was a renowned conga player. Therefore, Hidalgo was raised in a household surrounded by drums, bongos, congas and timbales.[1] He received a conga for his eighth birthday which had been handmade by his father. As a young child he practiced and developed his speed and playing skills on the conga and on the other instruments in his house. Hidalgo would drum a tune with sticks and then play the same tune with his hands. Musical career Hidalgo auditioned and was hired by the Batacumbele Band in 1980. In 1981, he traveled with the band to Cuba where he met a musician by the name of José Luis Quintana “Changuito”. Together they were able to create a unique style of rhythm and ushered in a new musical era in Latin music.[1][2] In 1985, Hidalgo was performing with Eddie Palmieri at The Village Gate in New York City, when the legendary jazz musician Dizzy Gillespie walked in and listened to Hidalgo play. He was so impressed with Hidalgo that he told him that someday in the future they must get together and play. In 1988 Hidalgo joined Gillespie’s United Nation Orchestra.[1] In 1992, he was hired as an adjunct professor at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.
