Cuba - Cha Cha Cha 1950-1962 - Cuba - Cha Cha Cha 1950-1962 - Music CD

Derive du danzon cubain, dans le sillage du mambo des annees 1950 le cha-cha-cha a surgi son tour, plus populaire encore. Fabuleuse musique internationale, dansante et influente, elle a par exemple donne l'indispensable version originale du celebre succes de Santana Oye como va ainsi que Chanchullo , le morceau cubain qui l'a inspire (les deux sont inclus ici). Bruno Blum retrace sa naissance et commente ici le cha-cha-cha, sommet de la grande epoque de la musique cubaine, avant la revolution de 1959 qui a fait fuir nombre de musiciens cubains aux etats-Unis. L'ge d'or cha-cha-cha est caracteristique des echanges entre musiciens cubains et americains comme Tito Puente, qui se sont vite approprie ce style. C'est neanmoins le son cubain authentique, originel, qui a ete privilegie ici. Patrick FReMEAUX Derived from Cuban danzon, in turn cha-cha-cha upsurged in the wake of 1950s mambo and turned out even more popular. A fabulous, danceable, influential, international music, it produced the indispensable original version of Santana's famous hit "Oye Como Va" for example, as well as "Chanchullo", the Cuban piece that inspired it (both included here). Bruno Blum recounts the birth of cha-cha-cha and comments on it - a peak in Cuban music, before the 1959 revolution that led so many Cuban musicians fleeing to the USA. The golden age of cha-cha-cha is typical of exchanges between Cuban and American musicians such as Tito Puente, who soon made this style their own. It is, however, the authentic, original Cuban sound that is prioritised here.
