We are suffering, he said, “a crisis in that respect, constraints about having musical base, with the kind of wealth that Cuba has, and we’re stuck in one or two beats. For my taste is not worth it. “
Pablo Milanes sketched with few singles his album Renaissance, at the El Sauce Cultural Center in Havana. With Amor de otoño and Dulces recuerdos last Friday he seduced an audience who not only praised the new from the singer-songwriter, but also stories that as a man of these times, he reflects in his songs.
The fact is that in Milanes poetry is condensed with that rational look to the environment, which he reveals to us with a melodious voice and revives with the passage of time. So enjoy him in Yolanda and El breve espacio en que no estás is always so pleasant. They are intact, as in all his works, such symmetric that guides his aesthetic.
I thought about it when the singer delighted us in El Sauce, at the invitation of actor Luis Alberto Garcia, who leads one of the nightspots of this cultural center. I could not help but get close to Pablo, after that memorable performance and investigate its secrets to keep such a melodious voice, or to discuss his next projects.
“I’m not a person who is consistently careful,” the author of Para Vivir said to that question that asked about his way of exercising voice. “I’m not careful or my health, or my body. The thing is I have my ancestral methods of care, some things that can survive in me and one of them is the voice, “he said.
It will be the Mella Theater in Havana the chosen one by the singer to present Renacimiento this December 28 and 29. Thus, the last of his albums gets to the Island, from the hand of the Bis Music label, which will distribute it in Cuba.
“In the Mella I want the thing to be more thoughtful and all listen to the works,” Pablo said, while he announced that the album has ten singles, whose backing is anchored in very Cuban rhythms as conga, changüí and danzon, among others.
The troubadour set out to make a trip through those genres, which he considers forgotten and serve as “base to make good songs.” We are suffering, he said, “a crisis in that respect constraints about having musical base, with the kind of wealth that Cuba has, and we’re stuck in one or two beats. For my taste is not worth it. “
Renaissance’s singles reflect the sensitivity and acuity of Milanes as composer. So, the singer confesses that this is a phonogram “I consider very seriously in my work” because there he address philosophically problems that the Cubans face nowadays, and also are of concern to human beings in the world.
Always surprised that people have the receptivity to his songs, Pablo Milanes has many expectations with this reunion with Havana public in the Mella Theater. “I visit intricate cities and towns, however, when I act in Cuba is something else, because it is the public I love the most, who loves and understands me better,” he said.
