Marc Ribot y Los cubanos postizos - Marc Ribot y Los cubanos postizos (The Prosthetic Cubans)

El guitarrista neoyorquino Marc Ribot rinde un fantástico tributo a la música del compositor Arsenio Rodriguez, en virtud de la confluencia de la virtuosa guitarra de jazz fuertemente influida por el rock de Marc Ribot, y un acompañamiento desnudo, sucinto, pero contundente de la agrupación Los cubanos postizos: John Medeski en órgano, Brad Jones en bajo, Robert J. Rodriguez en batería y EJ Rodriguez en percusión.

Marc Ribot y Los cubanos postizos es una desenfadada propuesta del audaz guitarrista Marc Ribot (John Zorn), impregnando los coloridos y contagiosos ritmos afrocubanos de una impronta vanguardista, vía una singular, heterodoxa ejecución en la guitarra: angular, cortante, visceral; tornando este notable homenaje al compositor cubano Arsenio Rodríguez en una música latina peculiar, rara, pero muy atrayente, dotándola de aristas imprevistas sin perder calor; y cuya mayor virtud consiste, jugando con el nombre de la agrupación, en ser bien auténtica.****

Si te gustó, mi recomendación es: Don - Byron - Music for Six Musicians. Vanguardia latina, inusual y muy atractiva.
