Timba Night på Pacific!

Timba Night fortsetter på Pacific Bar!


Velkommen til ny runde med Timba Night, fra september første onsdag i måneden på Pacific Bar (Vågen, 2. etasje - visavis Fisketorget), gratis adgang. Altså premiere onsdag 3. september! - vi håper så mange som mulig kommer når det starter kl 20.00. Fra 00.00 overtar DJ Franco. På premierekvelden smeller vi til med hits fra bl.a. Maikel Blancos nye, etterlengtede album: Anda Y Pegate. Kanskje har vi også Pupy Pedroso nye skive, Tranquilo que yo controlo, som er rett rundt hjørnet, klar til da. Vi har allerede de nyeste skivene til bl.a. Klimax, Adalberto Alvarez, Soneros All Stars pluss mange ferske promoer. Utover høsten ser vi ellers frem til Los Van Vans nye album Arrasando, samt Azucar Negras nye album. Så vi kan love masse utrolig bra dansbar musikk på Pacific utover høsten! :)

Vi takker alle som har bidratt til mange uforglemmelige Timba Nights på Macumba de to siste årene, og ser fram til stor stemning og godt besøk også på Pacific Bar! Vi ber om forståelse for at dette dansetilbudet avhenger av at baren får inntjening, spesielt ettersom det er gratis adgang. Som hovedregel: kjøp derfor drikke i baren istedet for å be om vann.

Pacific har ellers meget fine lokaler, som er velegnet både for dansere og andre som bare vil slappe av med en drink og nyte stemningen. Ta derfor gjerne med alt som kryper og går av venner og kjente - dansere eller ei - , og spre gjerne ryktet videre. Følgende info er sakset fra hjemmesiden www.planetbergen.no :

Opp trappen, i 2. etg, finner du Pacific Bar.

Klimax

Klimax med låta Adios Amor frå siste plata deira Solo Tu Y Yo.

"Piloto and his band have always been apart from the average timba band, in part because what he produces isn’t straight up timba, often mixing rhythms from around the Caribbean, and because his recording and production technique often sounds more modern and professional than the average Cuban recording. It sounds like he spends time outside of Cuba, which he does, and on Solo Tu Y Yo, he’s doing his traditional mixing of stuff. In case non-Cuban speaking people buy the album (something that’s been on his mind from early on), it comes with a Cuban-Spanish dictionary; the music’s the same, a salsa/timba/other stuff mix, all played perfectly. There’s some Latin pop schmaltz, per usual, but when this band starts moving down the road, get out of the way. Not only is Piloto a great writer, but his drumming is as good as it gets in the idiom, which is saying something. There’s the sense of musical heaviness you hear in great bands, whether it be the Coltrane Quartet or the Rolling Stones. Piloto’s invited a bunch of people to perform, from Omara Portuondo, Pablo Milanes, Tania Pantojo, Chucho Valdez and the goddess Haydee Milanes who’s pretty much brilliant on her track, offering a new set of melodies for improvisation. Dance music doesn’t get better than this, intelligent, driving, of a place, heroic.
Highly Recommended."

Telmary Diaz

"Que equivoca'o" frå plata A diario.

"A Diario, the powerhouse debut release by Cuban singer-songwriter Telmary, is part of the new wave of Cuban pop music that defies categorization. Produced by Roberto Carcasses — who seems to be the eye of the storm of this Cuban musical revolution — and Yusa, A Diario often utilizes hip hop as a springboard to launch a barrage of fist-in-the-air vocal poetry and densely layered sounds that borrow from technology, nature and pop music. This is hip hop rock on such a totally fresh new level that it demands a new name — no hop, post hop, whatever. There are moments when timba tries to take control, as on "Que Equivoca'o." But Telmary is too strong to relinquish control. Her voice never raises, but maintains such authority that you just have to get out of her way.
This is one of the more interesting releases to come out of Cuba in years. Check out "Mr. God," sung in english, as the singer appeals "...But it's not fair, we are not a zero; we are walking in the same trip; Mister God, Mister Mad, Mister Rambo; Go go easy, not so fast... come to my, come to my flow." Damn, this is good stuff. There's too much to talk about here; listen to what she does with "Marilu," Van Van's early rock and roll hit. A Diaro features guests Descemer, Athanai, Kumar, Yusa and others. Whatever you think about Telmary, one thing is for sure. She's a contender — an artist whose time is now.
Very Highly Recommended."

Pupy Y Los Que Son Son

Her er dei med Pedro Calvo som gjestevokalist og Låta El Buenagente frå plata El Buenagente.

Cesar Pedroso "Pupy": Pupy El Buenagente

"There isn't anything like this in Afro-Latin music; it's totally distinct. It's as if Pupy, longtime pianist and composer with Los Van Van, took a chunk of that group and decided to make it something bigger. So the rhythm arrangements swing in an incredibly complicated way; he's arranging the rhythm of each tune, making his music instantly identifiable by its time and feel instead of its melody or harmony. And Pupy goes directly to the modal heart of the matter, the band charging into a big, big sound that, weirdly, reminds me of John Coltrane and his classic quartet.
The music is like some sort of parallel popular music world in Cuba; it isn't timba, or salsa, just something hard and intelligent. Like a movie director who uses the same actors in every picture, or the same ideas, giving form to his total work, Pupy uses his group to mine the same sort of melodies and rhythms-and his tumbaos don't sound like anybody else's, either. Listen to the descarga of "El Buenagente," or the opening to "Disco Azucar" to hear things that are only in Pupy's arsenal. And with the violins waving in the distance, there's a whiff of Van Van. With a drum kit, the music, in it's power, sounds completely modern.
So here's the most advanced art available from the world of Cuban popular music, wildly imaginative, and inventive. And let's not forget that it's popular, which gives all the intelligence and invention and push that make it vital.
Highly Recommended."
