Gavilanes Show de Durango - Vuelve - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

E. Rubbra - Symphony 4 10 & 11 [COMPACT DISCS] date 11/14/1995

Regresa was recorded in it's entirety in Raquel and Luis Alfredo's home studio in Puerto Rico, and is an emotional roller coaster in which they face and ponder the issues affecting them and Puerto Rican society at large the frustration at the lack of opportunities for locals while tax breaks lure rich investors, self-doubt and anxiety, even the rise of religious fanaticism. Full of angst and an underlying sense of loss, Regresa - which means InchreturnInch or Inchto come backInch - is a bittersweet, introspective, eye-opening journey.1. Vámono2. La Fiebre3. El Aprieto4.

The music of Yemen has evolved in a different manner than that of other Arab countries it is predominantly vocal, and it does not use the maqam modal system. Religious restrictions limit the use of musical instruments, but the Yemenite oud (a type of lute or lyre) is the basis for a distinctive prepertoire, with evidence of it's use tracing back to ancient texts. Playing of the oud may be supported by the gasaba (flute), mizmar (clarinet), and drums. Of note on this recording is an excerpt of music from a Yemenite Zafat, or wedding. A Zafat is the most accessible public ceremony in Yemen, and the music becomes the soundtrack to a street procession of the groom and his guests to the wedding house. Although the processional music (a responsorial song) normally lasts about an hour, this example reproduces only the concluding section with common Yemenite traditional melodies.
