On August 27, the cast, that Cuban version of reggaeton, is going to have its first massive festival.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a matter of roots, it would be magnificent if the event were held in Cuba. In addition, with all the hype and cymbal that a marginalized genre deserves that, like it or not, any Cuban has heard and danced and hummed. However, the Casting Festival will take place in Miami. Specifically in Cachita Universal Studios, a center whose rooms have a capacity of up to 2,000 people.<\/span><\/p>\n

Singers and DJs known to the distribution public (Pipey, Adonis MC, El Negrito, El Uniko) and others with lesser experience (Judith Soul, Leo Sanz & Chuly) will parade on stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last February there was a similar show at the Arena Bar in Peru. But on a smaller scale. Less than a dozen guests. The Miami festival, for its part, has a program with more than 30 artists. According to the plan, it will be a show of three hours and 45 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Magazine<\/span><\/i> AM: PM <\/span><\/i>spoke with the main organizer of the event, Clara Cabrera, also known as Clarita La Magnifica, to learn about the interiors of this festival.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do a distribution festival and not, for example, reggaeton? Why do you think an event of this type had not been held?<\/b><\/p>\n

Why do a cast festival? Precisely because the cast has not had a festival. The one who has the start has the ones to win. Also, with so many exponents who are already living in Miami, it seems to me the perfect setting to begin to highlight that music, and little by little take it to better places.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An event like this had not been held before because most of the artists who are here today were in Cuba, and in Cuba I think something like this was not going to be allowed. The other is that they themselves, as such, feel like they're not a very cohesive movement. The genus is taken by three or four personalities with the names of monarchs and princes, and outside of that the others do not eat. They do not know that there is strength in unity and that an initiative like this can drive them to improve their performance. Since there hasn't been a producer to lay eyes on them, it just hasn't been done.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you see the delivery scene in Miami? Can you compare it to the scene inside Cuba?<\/b><\/p>\n

Although the genre has proliferated in Miami lately, it is important to say that it is far from moving towards internationalization. That kind of closed circle that I am talking about has been created, where new artists do not have much opportunity to be exposed or hired, this being a privilege of a few, the best known, read Chocolate, El Kamel, El Chulo, etc. .<\/span><\/p>\n

In Cuba, however, I see a rising generation with new musical influences, more in the style of Puerto Rico and, I would say, with more support among them.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Miami there is the clich\u00e9 of the comfort zone. They don't go out to invent new things. We follow the old style, commercial, without much risk. There is an abysmal sound difference and there is a difference in concepts. In Cuba they are more daring in what is the melody and right now they are handling quite strong lyrics, prosaic, I would say. In Miami they want to start implanting that trend. The BPM (tempo) here is slower, in Cuba it is already at 120. Artists like Wow Popy and El Nandiva, who are there, have already included metals in some of their songs and can even play a timbat\u00f3n. There is none of that here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do you think the cast in Miami has gone through so much?<\/b><\/p>\n

Because it is the second Cuba and every day more exiles of the age that prefers to hear distribution come. So it's making itself felt. It feels more and more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you perceive the evolution of the cast? What styles or trends currently exist?<\/b><\/p>\n

Right now there is a stalemate. As long as it doesn't merge with other musical genres, it won't be able to be international. Work is already being done so that the new generation understands that it is not fair for it to remain a local genre. In addition, the new trend of the obscene cast, full of profanity, will never be of international interest or of the producers.<\/span><\/p>\n

How was the selection of the artists that will participate in the event?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

The selection was made based on musical trajectories, first. We are looking for artists from the elite, from what they call the front line. And also to those who have a history, even if they are not attached.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then we took into account new talent to give them the opportunity to be seen. We analyzed the music of each one and based on the quality of their proposals we proceeded to invite them. This is how we discovered several emerging artists such as Orlian 11, Mulatoide and Bomb\u00f3n Leal. Who knows if this is what they need to loosen their moorings?<\/span><\/p>\n
