Exactly It seems we were about at the same time but we missed each other .. Well , regarding the new directions of Timba (apart from those stuck in the mid...
As Aned told me, they came directly from Tunisia and had to do Son-concerts, because nobody knows Salsa or Timba there. And they had some technical problems as...
... It's more than just out of tune. They are bad too. Split attacks and wrong notes even. That said, the brass writing isn't too good either. The singer is...
... Gracias Claudia. Ya lo baje. The remix isn't bad. . . but it makes me want to listen to the original more than anything. I need to dig that CD out. It's...
Timba Geeks, This freelance writer needs your input of latino hot spots outside the USA... Thank you! Frances Colon manager for La Timba Loca Subject: Looking...
yeah thanks Claudia! you know I'm appalled at how rudely MY efforts were received by some of the folks on this list, fyi ciao! ... [Non-text portions of this...
(and not particularly impressed with the sort of grand "not bad" evaluations of the piece either to be perfectly frank!!) ... [Non-text portions of this...
... Well then, maybe you 1) need to get in the 90s and find an MP3 converter! and 2) need better taste in music!!! Haha. j/k. About #2 that is. Curtis ...
No, babe, I need to unsubscribe from the group, which I did but it hasn't gone through yet. I'm grateful for the (very) listenable van van recommend but I am...
... about ... group ... offf... ... There's always the archives. When bored, I tend to fumble through them. Just go to that Messag # box and plug in "1" and go...
You confirm what I experiences in live performance and what a couple of people are saying here about the CD. I recieved also excellent feedback on the last...
one more thing : there is like this lively discussion about converting from mp3 to CD to MP3 even to cassette back to CD and the "ripping" involved etc etc ...
... CD ... etc OK. And? ... It was actually cassette to cassette to CD. There was never any MP3 involved in that one. ... It wasn't just bigger than an MP3. It...
Because I said I was too lazy to listen to it? weird. To be honest it was the fact that it was described as having reggaeton bits in it that really put me off....
... Shame ... I saw them with Clave y Guanguanco at Cafe Cantante ... Dunno really.... A lot of their old stuff seems pretty bland and uninspired on cd, and...
Just want to say that while the first line is mine - the rest is Curtis's ... Having said that: I would hope that playing in tune and having some energy...
But there he was without La Elite, which is in fact inacceptable. In Zurich his concert lasted nearly 3 hours... I really enjoyed CH when I saw them in...
You are right Gab, and this is even more necessary for recorder materials. (In live conditions, sometimes the reference speakers are not OK and the singer...
Lionel, it seems to be that the brass is pretty much out of tune all the way through. It's not as obvious when there is singing - probably just because of...
Thanks a lot Gab. I'll try to catch what you explained on the track. A question : do the brass section never enrich/twist the basic chord (I guess it is :...
I just uploaded the interview (in Spanish) that Claudia did with Yeni at the Milan concert on July 5th. There are also pictures form the concert. And speaking...
... Brass chords in timba are hardly ever just basic triads. ... No, they are mistakes and intonation problems. The more complex a chord gets, by the way, the...
