Letter Of Community Service Completion For School

I prefer to sing tangos



Writing about Placido Domingo singing tangos and boleros is to enter complex terrain, subtle and really dangerous because you exposing himself to interpret you in a thousand different ways and you wrong, but just trying to do from the beginning to define what I write from my taste, I talk about what pleases leaving clear that it has no character or law or anything. I beg leave to say right away that respect Plácido Domingo and all the musicians and lovers of the so-called "classical music." I mean, however, that I respect but do not feel superior, and here might be able to throw himself to develop the idea I want to convey:

The music industry encountered several years the gigs of "symphonic" that is not really a folk singer accompanied by a large string orchestra. To Serrat fell into that, surely by some economic predicament really terrible recorded an album, among partly because of incontinence from a decade that this party has its vibrato and sing you from their old and glorious pages. Been made to believe that if you put a large string orchestra, Ponele, Arjona, you go up the target you, you give it more level. That's hegemony, it is a subtle commercial maneuver riding the myth that the "classic" is per se than the popular and then ask permission to discuss. Without prejudice to discuss Beethoven, Paganini Stravinsky or not happening around the idea. My premise is that as Goyeneche could not have famous arias, the tenors can sing tangos but to convey emotions. Let me explain: The Police had not had the technical conditions for singing Arias and Placido Domingo can sing perfectly in plenty and all the notes of a tango, but it has the "smell of Pizza" or the "filth", or "land", which are inherent elements tango as a cultural, as production of this hodgepodge that is the city of Buenos Aires as such gave life and meaning to the genre.

may be people who are in line with that sing all the notes and is respectable. I ask permission to assess other elements: If I want a sax driven and pornographic as Ben Webster saucepan to , Not even Stan Getz and of course let alone a symphony saxophonist. If I want a savage guaguancó Celeste Mendoza grabbed or The Papines , if I want to stick flamenco, fragrant and suburban because I'm going with Shrimp and if I want a blues pegagoso is stuck I put it to Muddy Waters . There's a homecourt dose of originality, identity is inseparable from popular music. When the Polish Goyeneche Sur traps us singing in the eponymous film, it does from the vocal technique (no singing) makes from this climate that created Solanas and from the fog and that table became one of the best descriptions of what is the music of Buenos Aires Can you imagine a Plácido Domingo in that scene?

And this happens in all the crosses genres you can imagine. For example, once I said I do not like Chick Corea playing tropical music. In a disk Poncho Sanchez about ten years ago, Chick plays all the notes perfect eye, but without the taste or portorros Cubans, it's like something is missing. Were missing ... And the immense Michel Petrucciani said she loved the tango and Piazzolla but not were afraid to touch it because it was very difficult ... No, not that Michel was unable to play each note at all. He was referring to the impossibility of engaging with the inner world of the genre, hence his resignation to touch. Joao Gilberto So overheat when the Americans were bossa nova record and cursing it's going to die because always said Gilberto bossa for bossa should be played by Brazilians as they have in their blood all bossa information required for sound as it should. The famous Light Orchestra, a group of Japanese who played salsa sounded good from afar, but when the ear parrots discovered to be widely studied, there was lots of sheet music and no boardwalk, then the product was pure ice. The Argentines can take the example of those tangos to Valentino appearing in those European films decades ago. That we hear the tango is far from ours.

happens even in large popular musicians as one of a genre he sings something else is good but not soul Celia Cruz sang boleros because few knew it was not his forte, in the same way Elena Burke that "the lady feeling" (perhaps the greatest singer of boleros and Filin of Cuba ) sang a few guarachas . Mercedes Sosa few tangos recorded because it was not his, because he was not able to address gender in connection with the "smell", not because they were not able to hole all the notes.

When saucers were in vogue, you saw Argentine couples went out dancing and seemed contortionists and appeared there in a couple costadito mature Colombian or Cuban dance without making a fuss with a flavor, with a swing that dazzled and even unintentionally mocking that frenzy ended aerodynamic Argentines who simply do not beat as a Central American or Caribbean. Murguero field have learned an intern at a time between the neighborhood and street musicians of Study What happened? murgas study were, if you want, most professionals were more timing but when Reyes appeared the Movement and Saavedra Reyes Pantera you fell for two small steps (and you fall now, too) back because every movement Pantera is the transmission of a culture of yesteryear Murguera, Pantera is one of the last reservoirs of the acquis.

Mine sounds too compartmentalized, some readers will believe that I am very sketchy, and may be right. I write what I see and what I feel. Plácido Domingo has every right in the world of classical singing Gardel and pile after pile of people to enjoy it. I beg leave to stammer another look that will surely be overwhelmed by so much media paraphernalia, therefore newscaster would announce during the weekend passages of English tenor's recital at the obelisk. I beg leave also to say that the bandoneon not found in any tango, Sunday sang in a hurry, that tempo going and that there were passages in the soprano (the tango) I rang fatally horrific, but it is still subjective.

I think every genre has its peculiarities and its smells, I think therefore that when the regional music takes away everything that surrounds the product becomes a soulless, lifeless. I think as I once told a graduate of the conservatory, conservatories are responsible for filing all sides of home advantage for students to end up producing great players but no soul, no land, no identity. I think nobody plays the blues better than a black Harlem or are better than Santiago. I think the same way that no one sings a tango best Goyeneche, Gardel , Luisito or Cardei Angelito Vargas. I think even the amputated bolero of the drums when he came to the mainland and while the guys they added a dose of drama in the letters that the Indian bolero was not, in strictly musical mutilated it.

For all these reasons do not like when Placido Domingo or other European music star sing tangos and boleros.
