Havana, Cuba: Latin origin (Photos)

In 1998 the glamor best Latin Music Award winner Ry Cooder once said: "in Cuba, music is like water flowing." He also said, music is like digging treasure, you must constantly dig dug, to find the treasure. Because the place for a long time, they dig into the Cuban music, there is a kind of soil, similar to those close to the original ecological folk song, sometimes sounds very sad, but it is not a jazz that loneliness sad, but a little melodrama, the melody is simple and toss around, holding you the soul walks. Song music charm lies in here.

I can't remember the first heard Cuban son is in what time, just remember that he was completely obsessed with it, as if to see a thin old man pursed lips Cuba flat, with a curl of Son music, swaying hips, to sing: hay, La Havana; hay, lahavana...... Can always find the most accurate rhythm, accurate and elegant; always the most to a proper extent the lyrics come out, it seems to express a person for life attitude, and material.

The same music, everyone can hear different feelings. The song to me, to have a sense of feeling will I uptake, deep-set among them, try to stop but cannot. It is a kind of exile national free under the faint nostalgia? Is closed under Island fortitude without a little helpless? Or the grassroots not to stick at trifles I console oneself with soothing remarks? The kind of no gorgeous music, true, such as cigars generally strong, such as rum as the emotional heart...... Music to a climax, although the body has not already be full of excitement. But deep down, dancing......

La Havana

In Havana, from the pub to the Le Grand Large Hotel bar, from the streets to the center of the square, music here.

Cuba is a non-market economy country, Yi people rarely consider the business of writing. Random they are truly art for art's sake. They put the sweet sounds of the original show heart. To bring people to enjoy at the same time, also enjoy the release of the soul.

The first came to Havana in the morning, we met in the street a performing teams, before jumping lively behind Salsa, play the guitar singing, another two trombone playing follow. In each player's face, just like the bird singing in the sunny morning, self enjoying, intoxicated. Whenever I see my shot at them, the other always immediately responded with a charming smile, the smile is the best language communication between people. Before my heart immersed in the history of the heart, the moment was led into the ocean of joy.

Usually, there are fixed in sing in a band at the bar, restaurant, which consists of a lead singer maracas (maracas), plus the terrace (tres), Peng guest drum (bongos), bass three musicians, is a common band. They sing the Salsa opening, but also tourists like most. If you like, you can buy his band CD, of course, also can let the band to sing the songs you like. That afternoon I Havana club a listen to the first four or five, because the singer's distinctive voice and the like "Sister Act" in the Whoopi Goldberg (Whoopi Goldberg) profile. The singer usedSpainLanguage sing Weiweidaolai, band interpretation there is no exaggeration, true and indifferent.

"Herido de Sombras por Tu Ausencia estoysolo La penumbra me

Acompana Hoy

Perdido Tu Amor no podre disfrutarde Felicidad

Sin destino fijo Como El humo voysurcando El Espacio buscandote estoy

Tal vez no te encuentre quizas te perdipara siempre amor.

Life without you is like a broken shadow, only the light of dawn to accompany me,

Your love away, I no longer feel happy,

As I like to wander aimlessly, smoke, looking for you.

Maybe I'll never find you, my love, maybe I can never lose you

I remember your eyes, your touch, I cannot escape the memories, I endured, eager to yesterday,

I can't forget you "

Listen to music in the pub is a kind of enjoyment, in the church on the square to sit is a conscious stillness, around filled with history, a flight of steps, a corner at the top of the church, the light, feel the passage of time, shadow magic. The hands of the wine, one cup, two cup? ? ecstasy is a sure thing in the Lahabana time.
