As some Cubans say, Jorge D\u00edaz is one of those humorists that make us die laughing. He is really good histrionically; he is witty and agreat connoisseur of the national idiosyncrasy. This \u201cmulatto\u201d, as many people know him, is also an excellent musician who has successfully combined his guitar with the trova tradition and his perspicacity to narrate gracefully the most threshed circumstances of life in Cuba.<\/p>\n
This is not a secret for anyone, but just a few people know that Jorge D\u00edaz is serious about writing music: several hits by the most important popular music bands were written by this humorist. He wrote the songs Ven, ven, ven and Me mantengo, which were made popular by Van Van; as well as La Habana me llama, by Manolito Simonet y su Trabuco.<\/p>\n
Now the \u201cmulato\u201d surprises us with the album El Famili\u00f3n, recorded with BisMusic label and for which he wrote all the songs.<\/p>\n
Maestro Adalberto \u00c1lvarez, author of the musical part of the album, highlights the maturity with which Diaz assumed writing each of the ten tracks of the album (plus a bonus track) which are interpreted by top Cuban singers.<\/p>\n
One of the traits that characterize the album is the variety of genres it comprises. Those who listen to it will take a tour through the Cuban music, including song, conga, salsa and songo, with unique performances that turn each track into a ludic refined piece.<\/p>\n
The CD includes songs such as Perdiste el juego a la cuenta by Michel Gonz\u00e1lez, singer from Adalberto \u00c1lvarez y su Son; Dicen que soy un ladr\u00f3n,by Mario \u201cMayito\u201d Rivera; El titi y el temba, byTania Pantoja; La papita, by Sixto Llorente \u201cEl Indio\u201d; Jugar a la pelota, by Roberto Hern\u00e1ndez \u201cRobert\u00f3n\u201d, from Van Van; La cafetera, by Dagoberto V\u00e1zquez, member of Elito Rev\u00e9 y su Charang\u00f3n; La cuba\u00f1ola, by Emilio Frida \u201cEl ni\u00f1o\u201d; and bonus track Contra el cont\u00e9n, where group Vocal Samplig shows its worth once again, among others.<\/p>\n
El Famili\u00f3n is a refreshing social chronic Diaz successfully accomplished with the aid ofarrangements made by talented artists as Manolito Simonet; Wilfredo \u201cPachy\u201d Naranjo Jr; Ren\u00e9 Ba\u00f1os, Sampling\u2019s director; along with famous instrumentalists like C\u00e9sar L\u00f3pez en the saxo, Roberto C. Rodr\u00edguez \u201cCucurucho\u201d, in the piano, Yan Hern\u00e1ndez and Jorge Luis Vila in the tres, among others.<\/p>\n
This is Jorge Diaz\u2019s second album, the first one was Chronicles \u2013recorded with EGREM label–, which was completely dedicated to humor.<\/p>\n
The followers of popular music will have in this album a new reason for dancing with his music, and though it was not conceived for making people laugh, it was certainly designed for dancers to have a great time at the rhythm of his songs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
