"Fidelina" by Carlos Vives
This next clip is thanks to Mary Bloder. She introduced me to this pair when I posted the flamenco video. They are truly great musicians, and this live clip is my favorite.
"Diablo Rojo" or "Red Devil" by Gabriela and Rodrigo
This last clip is thanks to my cousin, Nicole. She told me Señor Loop was her favorite Panamanian band, so I went on a hunt for more information. Guido Bilbao describes the band, saying, "they have a sound indisputably theirs . . . in the age of speed, the Loops cook to a slow fire." Obviously this is my own translation because the original is in Spanish: "tienen un sonido indiscutiblemente suyo . . . en la era de la velocidad, los Loops cocinan a fuego lento." This is the result. Enjoy!
"Señor Loop llega al sarao y se roba tu pareja" or "Señor Loop arrives at the party and steals your partner" by Señor Loop
OH MY GOSH. I LOVE THAT GUITAR DUO. I love watching musicians who are obviously having the greatest time playing music. I really enjoy how they make so many sounds on the guitar by hitting the body, slapping the strings, and plucking the strings. (I also enjoy that it's called "Red Devil" because I'm a Red Devil.)

ReplyDeleteI really liked the way “Fidelina” was staged out in a music video! I don’t know what they were saying, but I still felt compelled to listen. I also liked the emotion the main singer showed. I was also really drawn into the music played by the guitarists in “Red Devil”. It was so lively and gave me a little adrenaline rush. “Señor Loop” sounded very eerie in the intro, and then it got to the rapping part which sounded less eerie and more aggressive. I think it is cool you found some Latino Rap music. It seemed very similar to United States rap music. I’m glad you shared it with us.
ReplyDeleteWow--that opening of the Gabriela and Rodrigo video is amazing--I'm really going to have to check them out! Yea Yea Yea!
