But when something is really good, it does not need many resources or paraphernalia to be noticed. This is the case with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Italuba Big Band <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the most recent musical production of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/magazineampm.com\/en\/horacio-el-negro-x-yissy-garcia-la-bateria-es-un-juego-de-ninos-mxm-entrevista\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horacio \u201cEl Negro\u201d Hern\u00e1ndez<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a product of those that make your ear happy and hope your heart.\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under the Bis Music Horacio \"El Negro\" label, Hern\u00e1ndez gives us a CD \/ DVD of ample artistic value, in which spontaneity and common sense when interpreting music result <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a leitmotiv<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in each of the themes here collect. Clothed by excellent performers, and with <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">latin <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Latin jazz as the main avenue to travel, El Negro invites you to travel sound paths full of color, warmth, and contrast. In a confluence of youth and experience, recognized figures of the Cuban music scene such as Tato Vizca\u00edno Guillot , C\u00e9sar L\u00f3pez, Carlos Miyares , Robert\u00f3n Los Van Van , Haila Mar\u00eda Mompi\u00e9 ,Mandy Cantero and maestro Joaqu\u00edn Betancourt shake hands with young promises like H\u00e9ctor Quintana, Eduardo Sandoval, Tato Vizca\u00edno Jr. and the members of the Young Jazz Band.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Horacio El Negro Hern\u00e1ndez and Italuba Big Band- Last Minute\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M7DpsEJ8_Ig?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Made up of a total of 10 tracks <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Italuba Big Band<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is an ocean of virtuosity for anyone who dedicates a few minutes of their time to their listening. As an overture of the phonogram, Last Minute receives us <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last minute<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">theme in which the members of Italuba <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daniel Mart\u00ednez Izquierdo (bass), Iv\u00e1n Brid\u00f3n N\u00e1poles (piano), Amik Guerra (trumpet) and obviously Horacio \"El Negro\" Hern\u00e1ndez ( drums )<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Accompanied by the Young Jazz Band, they give us a taste of what is to come, as a real download.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Referring the listener to the sounds of the great jazz bands of previous decades, the theme <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">90 millas<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> envelops us in a sea of contrasts and nuances. With a delicacy not very seen in this type of creation, the arrangement takes us from one side of the composition to the other, without bothering the listener with the appearance of new sound universes at the end of the interventions of each of the solo instruments. The balance achieved by the perfect triad established between the strength of C\u00e9sar L\u00f3pez's alto saxophone, the elegance of H\u00e9ctor Quintana's electric guitar and the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">groove<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the groove of the trumpet (this time with a mute) by Amik Guerra, offer us a kind of hand to hand where good taste dresses up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evoking Caribbean sounds mixed with the 6\/8 afro key, which appears subtly between bats, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">., the fifth theme of the phonogram, opens the doors to a place where simplicity becomes a characteristic feature. Again the excellent contrast treatment allows the listener to immerse themselves in a world full of diverse colors. From an arrangement in which, in my opinion, the greatest merit is the perfect balance achieved when it comes to contrasting the different instrumental formats that are noticed in the work, the accurate use of these sound masses allows the clear differentiation of each one of the parts. The masterful game with the main themes <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">making them move through the different areas of the band, changing timbres, intention and instrumental training, in the manner of a theme with variations<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> - and then giving way to the download moments on account of the instruments of The harmonic base (piano, bass and guitar) allow seven minutes of music to become seven minutes of magic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But if it is abaut taste <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Puerto Rico<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the subject forced on the album. In addition to the remarkable intervention of Carlos Miyares in the tenor saxophone, the presence of voices is a characteristic element of the single. Applause for the Cuban spring that flows with each of the blows on the drum patches by the trio of the Vizca\u00ednos and \"El Negro\". Father and son, timbale and tumbadora (Tato Vizca\u00edno and Tato Vizca\u00edno Jr ); drumsticks in the hands, the pedal of the hype in the feet (Horacio Hern\u00e1ndez), these greats of the percussion give us a display of virtuosity, flavor, and cadence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Horacio El Negro Hernandez and Italuba Big Band- Puerto Rico\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ko9uoCzxAgk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Equally outstanding are pieces like <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Divertimento<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with the presence of Eduardo Sandoval in the trombone <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Desire<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">where the majesty and sensuality of the bolero refresh us from time to time <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pati Metal<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T Prima<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tropical Madrid<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all deserving of praise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Between keyboard timbres, the cadence of the bass and the polyrhythmic resulting from the encounter <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">drums<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the timbale, and the tumblers come <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">free-jazz <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to Free Jazz to end such an enjoyed sound experience. Wrapped in mambos and perfect harmonies of winds comes another masterful only of timbale. With the Cuban tomb in charge of the piano, this last download begins, this time, accompanied by a flute <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C\u00e9sar L\u00f3pez makes his appearance again<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">minutes later Carlos Miyares joins the tenor saxophone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And again, that majestic, powerful, coupled metal string, typical of the great jazz band, leads us to a false coda making us believe that everything is over. That's when he arrives, Horacio \"El Negro\" Hern\u00e1ndez, the true protagonist of this musical event. Key in hand, owner of undeniable Cubanness and mastery of the instrument, reaffirms why he is one of the most prominent drummers of the last four decades. With extreme fluidity, cadence and flavor it puts an end to what was a true jam.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ser\u00eda l\u00f3gico pensar que en un pa\u00eds como el nuestro, de tanta buena m\u00fasica y m\u00fasicos, resultar\u00eda dif\u00edcil discernir cu\u00e1ndo se est\u00e1 en presencia de un producto realmente valioso.
