Ortiz / Ortiz / Herrera - Inside Rhythmic Falls - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Aruan Ortiz has long dreamt of making an album that would evoke Incha cascade of rhythms going over me, almost dragging me to fall.Inch This feeling of being overtaken by rhythm is one he knows well, having spent his first 23 years in Cuba. Born in 1973, Ortiz grew up Santiago de Cuba - the cradle of Afro-Cuban music and a veritable Inchvortex of rhythmInch. Ortiz captures the symphony of everyday life in Oriente on his arresting new album, Inside Rhythmic Falls. InchI think of myself as a storyteller,Inch Ortiz says, Inchand each of the album's ten tracks tells a story about Oriente province.Inch For this project Ortiz has chosen Cuban percussionist Mauricio Herrera and one of the best drummers of today's jazz to his side. Andrew Cyrille was born in Brooklyn, New York into a Haitian family. InchRhythm is life... The space of time danced through,Inch and inside rhythmic falls everyone is possessed by the dance, both leading and following. The New York jazz critic Adam Schatz writes in the Liner notes InchWhen music is this glorious, it has the power not just to conjure spirits but to inspire belief and help us experience the marvelous. Or, as Carpentier also put it, the marvelous real.Inch
