What do the Joe Cuba Sextet, Rubén Blades' Seis del Solar, and the New Swing Sextet have in
common? Well, aside from being amongst some of the more innovative salsa groups of all times,
they all used the vibraphone as their lead melodic instrument, while omitting the utilization of any
horns in their arrangements.

This raw, heavily percussive style of tropical dance music dates back to the 1960s, in the case
of the Joe Cuba Sextet, which showcased the amazing vocals of Cheo Feliciano and Jimmy
Sabater, whereas the sociopolitical lyrics and compositions of Rubén Blades have been
resonating throughout the international airwaves for over four decades now.

In the cosmopolitan Catalonian city of Barcelona, Spain, a group of salsa musicians came
together with the purpose of making music inspired primarily by the sounds of the early pioneers
of the salsa movement in New York City, hence the birth of the group called "Bloque 53".
The following is a recent Skype interview between Bloque 53's percussionist/composer/
bandleader Joaquín "Waco" Arteaga and Latin Beat Magazine's Rudy Mangual...

Rudy Mangual (RM): Congratulations on Bloque 53's recent release ("Tumba Puchunga") and
thank you for choosing Latin Beat Magazine to internationally promote your music and your
products.
Joaquín Arteaga (JA): Thank you very much for the opportunity to showcase Bloque 53 in the
pages of Latin Beat Magazine. It's a great honor for me and all the members of Bloque 53 to be
featured in such a special and renowned publication.
RM: Are you originally from Barcelona?
JA: No, I'm a native of Caracas, Venezuela. I was fortunate to win a scholarship in Venezuela to
study music abroad in 1998. Initially, I planned to attend the Berklee School of Music in Boston,
but financially, it was not possible. So I opted to study in Barcelona. After graduating (as a
percussion major), I was offered a position in the school to teach, which I accepted. That was
over 13 years ago. Now, I'm practically Catalonian.
4/30/2012 8:43 PM
RM: Do you speak Catalán (the language of Catalonia?
JA: I do; it's not that difficult. The fact that I teach many kids and young adults who mainly prefer
to speak Catalán made it easier for me to learn the language a bit faster. You learn so much
faster from the kids, it's amazing!

4/30/2012 8:43 PM
RM: How did Bloque 53 come to be?
JA: The band came together around 2006. We initially named ourselves “Chicha y Melao” due to
the fact that the band was composed of white and black musicians. Chicha is the name of a
white South American beverage (made of pineapple rinds, sugar, or molasses), while the term
melao (or melado) refers to the honey-colored, twice boild-down juice of the sugar cane. As a
vibe-led sextet, we had all agreed to play scores from the Joe Cuba Sextet’s repertoire, as well
as interpretations from groups such as Son Boricua and Seis del Solar. Yet, we were not happy
with the band’s original name. It was too festive. After a while, we all decided to add a new
vocalist to the group, making us an octet rather than a sextet, and the name issue came into
discussion once again. While discussing possible new names for the band, one of our original
Venezuelan ex- members, Lenin Jiménez, mentioned that the band had come to resemble a
block, with three vocalists in the front row and five musicians in the back (like the streets of his
native neighborhood in Caracas) and suggested our current name, “Bloque 53”, which was
precisely where his grandmother lived in Barrio 23 de Enero in Caracas. Therefore, by 2007, we
had become Bloque 53.
RM: In your latest CD production “Tumba Puchunga”, the recording features as special
guests “Los Trombones de Tromboranga”. What is Tromboranga?
JA: Tromboranga is a special and separate project from Bloque 53. It’s led by trombonists
Vladimir Peña and Tom Johnson, as well as vocalist Freddy Ramos (from Bloque 53). I have
also been involved with Tromboranga for the past two years. Tromboranga is a trombonepropelled salsa ensemble favoring the sounds of groups like Conjunto Libre, Willie Colón, and
Eddie Palmieri’s La Perfecta. We recorded a four-track EP a year ago, which continues to
receive good airplay throughout Europe. What happened was that, while working with
Tromboranga, the date for Bloque 53’s new production came up and we had to stop work with
Tromboranga. About six months ago, both bands performed together in a concert, joining forces
in the end as one group and sounding incredible. Therefore, while conducting the new Bloque 53
recording, we decided to invite Los Trombones de Tromboranga to add their magic to our final
mix. Another guest musician on the recording is trumpeter Albert Perez, featured on the selection

4/30/2012 8:43 PM
“Bésame Otra Vez.”
RM: If I am fortunate enough to catch Bloque 53 performing this coming summer in
Barcelona or throughout Europe, will I see the band with or without trombones?
JA: This year we will definitely play with trombones, and perhaps even a trumpet, especially
while promoting the new CD. Bloque 53 likes to have that element of experimentation and
surprise for its fans with every one of its productions… Our debut CD, “La Ruta de la Salsa”,
introduced the group’s vibraphone-based salsa and Latin jazz sound to Barcelona and the entire
world, inspired by the music of both Joe Cuba and Seis del Solar… Our second production,
“Bloque 53 Te Hace Mover Los Pies” (Bloque 53 Makes You Move Your Feet), was a more
ambitious production, loaded with more original hardcore salsa scores aimed to please the
dancers. Our third and latest production, “Tumba Puchunga” showcases the latest evolution of
the band with a frontline of three vocalists and the addition of guest musicians from our brother
group Tromboranga, for the ultimate salsa experience.
RM: Can you introduce the members of Bloque 53?
JA: The vocal frontline includes the energetic and beautiful Yadira Ferrer (from Holguín, Cuba),
Damián "El Bombón" Alonso (from Havana, Cuba), and Freddy Ramos (from Caracas,
Venezuela). The band features Marcel Pascual (from Barcelona) on vibraphone, Andreu Cañadell
(from Colombia) is featured on piano in the recording, but Rafael Magartal (also from Colombia is

our current pianist. Colombian bassist Simón Delgado is one of the original members of the band
and is responsible for all the arrangements of this new recording. Rhumer Mora (from Venezuela)
laid down all the conga tracks for the recording, but currently Compota (from Cuba) has the
conga chair in the band, and yours truly, Joaquín Arteaga, is responsible for most of the original
compositions, while playing timbal, bongó, quinto, and güiro throughout the entire production.
RM: What is the state of salsa in Barcelona?
JA: During the 14 years that I have been calling Barcelona my home, there has always been
salsa music around. Back in the late 1990s, there was always some work for salsa musicians
with several groups performing nightly throughout the city. Then, by the mid-2000s, work for live
bands slowed down quite a bit, with DJs totally handling the nightly salsa dancers. In recent
years, the scene has shifted somewhat due to the growing numbers of Latinos coming into
Barcelona.

4/30/2012 8:43 PM
Barcelona is a cosmopolitan melting pot of people from all corners of the world and Latin
Americans are no exception. There are Colombian, Venezuelan, Peruvian, Cuban, and
Argentinean restaurants everywhere, as well as bars and nightclubs. While there are also many
musicians wanting to play salsa, work is not that abundant and musicians simply cannot make a
living playing only salsa. So basically, salsa musicians have to adjust to a different way of
thinking where playing salsa is done primarily for the love and personal passion for this music,
and not so much for making money.
9 of 49
4/30/2012 8:43 PM
Aside from Bloque 53 and Tromboranga, there are numerous active salsa bands in Barcelona,
including La Surcursal, Sonora Libre, Sabor y Son and Grupo Yaré, to mention just a few. You
can dance to salsa every night of the week somewhere in Barcelona, to a live band or to a DJ.
Salsa dance schools are also everywhere and very popular these days. Throughout most of
Europe, music festivals featuring live music are extremely popular and salsa bands are a
favorite. I remember performing in Poland last year, and looking at the mostly young audience
and thinking to myself, "will these people like our music?" Well, from the first sound of the drums
everyone started dancing and they did not stop until we finished after three encores. It was an
amazing experience for the entire band. I am pretty sure most of them did not understand a word
of what we sang, but they really enjoyed the rhythms. This is why I play salsa. The same was the
case when performing in Switzerland and France. Another musical highlight of last year's tour
was sharing the stage with the North American group Bio-Ritmo in France. Immediately, we
bonded like old friends and had a great time playing together.
RM: Now that you mention Bio-Ritmo, the selection "Misterio" from your new production
sounds a bit like the style of Bio-Ritmo. Any comments?
JA: Curious that you ask. Truly, while working on that track in the studio, which by the way was
10 of 49
4/30/2012 8:43 PM
inspired by that same concert in France where we met Rei and Marlysse of Bio-Ritmo, I thought
about using Rei as a guest vocalist on the track, but due to logistics, I dropped the idea. But you
are correct; "Misterio" has that Bio-Ritmo flavor, perhaps due to the way it was recorded.
RM: Which track from the new recording best describes the sound and style of Bloque
53?
JA: Having three lead vocalists with distinct individual styles in the band makes it difficult to
select a favorite. My personal favorites would have to be "Conciencia," "Cógelo Ahí" and "Me
Alborotas" (our first promotional single from the new production).
RM: When does Bloque 53 start the 2012 tour season?
JA: Around April/May, 2012, performing with Tromboranga initially in Spain, then moving in the
summer to Germany, France, Switzerland, England, and Italy. W e are also trying to make it to
Venezuela and Colombia this year, but nothing has been confirmed yet. ¡Saludos desde
Barcelona! (Greetings from Barcelona!)...
From Havana to Hamburg: The Positive Musical
Energy of Ricardo Álvarez & Cubanísimo
By Luis Tamargo
Born of Galician-Asturian ancestry in the capital of the largest Caribbean island in 1962,the
brilliant bandleader/pianist/composer Ricardo Álvarez studied at the Alejandro García Caturla
Conservatory and E.N.A. (Escuela Nacional de Arte), and then worked with various Havanese
rock, funk, pop, and jazz groups before he was able to "vote with his feet" in the 1990s, when he
became one of the main catalysts of Antillean music in Europe, particularly after founding in
Hamburg the big band appropriately called Cubanísim o, comprised of eleven instrumentalists
and a couple of lead singers, all of whom happen to be fellow Cuban exiles who found permanent
refuge in the reunified native land of Beethoven. The following interview with Álvarez was
conducted shortly after the release of the self-produced CD "Marketing," Cubanísimo's second
recording...

4/30/2012 8:43 PM
Luis Tamargo (LT): Talk about your early musical influences, while growing up in the Havanese
suburb of Miramar.
Ricardo Álvarez (RÁ): My first musical influence was undoubtedly my mother, who studied
classical piano and played plenty of pieces authored by Cervantes, Lecuona, Chopin, etc. There
was always a piano at home, and on my own, I learned by the age of four to play my first
melodies by ear. Rarely was I interested in the harmony more than the melody, and this factor
helped me a lot to develop my capacity to memorize and create. My first stylistic influences were
derived from U.S. music, basically from the Motown Sound, the Beatles, and the 1960s
psychedelic rock. These influences were naturally mixed with the music that was being made in
Cuba, particularly with the descargas (Cuban jam sessions), the popular artists such as Conjunto
Roberto Faz and Las D'Aida, and the avant-garde bands like Orquesta Cubana de Música
Moderna… My musical training began at home, where I learned to play on the piano the songs I
heard from the U.S. radio stations. My mother helped me, and we played with four hands such
Cervantes pieces as "El Velorio."
LT: You were enrolled as a piano student, by the age of 7, at Marianao's Alejandro García
Caturla Conservatory.
RÁ: That's where I played with various school bands, performing mostly Cuban popular music.
Then I played with Elektra and other underground hard-rock bands that played covers of Led
Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Credence Clearwater Revival.
LT: W hat about your tenure with Arkanar?
RÁ: Arkanar turned out to be a great experience as a musician; it was my first street-based
music education. It was a unique group, as it fused funk, jazz, and rock elements with original
compositions. At one time or another, this band featured important musicians such as Orlando
"Cubajazz" Sánchez, Osmany Collado, Alejandro Martínez, Eddy Cardoza, Manuel Camejo, and
Osmany Díaz. That's when I began to compose, and I came up with my first hit, "Ataque de
Fuego," included in Radio Progreso's 1989 Top Ten… I also worked for a few months (as
keyboardist and composer) with saxophonist Manuel Valera's band, which would become Vicente
Feliú's, accompanying group for two years… After returning from a six-month Mexican tour with
Pedro Cañas' band, I joined forces with Arkanar's former singer, Manuel Camejo, to form the duo
called "Pulsos," whose original compositions became quite popular on Cuban radio and
television.
LT: W hen did you engage in your final "fasten"*?
RÁ: Right around that time, there was a German-Cuban impresario who arrived in Havana
looking for a funk-jazz band to take to Germany. As Arkanar was no longer in existence, he
contacted various musicians to form a band (including Pulsos) that was called "Worlds Apart"
and traveled to Hamburg in March of 1994. I continued my musical career in Germany, working
as arranger and producer in various recordings of stars such as Scatman John and Nena, while
playing in "world music" bands like "Side By Side."
LT: I became aware of your admirable bandleading talents in 2001, upon listening to
Cuarteto Chanchullo ("Zambumbia", Álvarez Music).
13 of 49
4/30/2012 8:43 PM
RÁ: I belong to a Cuban generation that loved rock and other Anglosaxon music forms, and
certainly "discriminated" against the popular Cuban music of those times, which had been
naturally undergoing a profound crisis since 1959. The youngsters' parties only featured foreign
music. This fact was so notorious in Cuba that the cultural commissars decided to launch a
publicity campaign centered around the TV program "Para Bailar." This program enjoyed an
unprecedented success and the situation was reversed to the point that the Cuban youth began
to dance and listen again to Cuban music. My generation, however, did not take part in this
reconversion and maintained its rock references, although I later rediscovered my Cuban
musical roots, while being far away from the island, surrounded by a different culture that I didn't
properly comprehend, and coinciding with the unusual worldwide success of Buena Vista Social
Club in 1997… The history of Cuarteto Chanchullo is linked to the history of my big band,
Cubanísimo. Chanchullo was formed when Hamburg's Sax Club asked me to organize a quartet
that could play Cubanísimo's material plus some jazz. Our club appearances were successful,
and we developed a repertoire based on the Cuban descarga concept, including classics penned
by Peruchín, Frank Emilio and Rubén González, as well as vocalized tunes like "Guajira con
Tumbao" and "La Basura." Leandro Saint-Hill had his baptism of fire as singer and composer,
and I decided to produce in the year 2000 the CD "Zambumbia," comprised mostly of originals,
which received great international acclaim from the specialized critics. Then the quartet was
expanded to a sextet format, and we played in important European and Asian jazz festivals.
LT: As you previously mentioned, Chanchullo's history was linked to the history of
Cubanísimo. When did you organize this big band?
RÁ: In 1998, when I decided to terminate my "roquero" career and form a Cuban music
orchestra. That's when Cubanísimo was born, as a 1950s-style band with a repertoire of
mambos, chachachás, guarachas and boleros, recreating the classics of Matamoros, Pérez
Prado, Moré, Piñeiro, and Jorrín, among others. It also functioned as one of my main schools, as
I was fortunate to be surrounded by plenty of good musicians. I was not experienced in playing
piano tumbaos, and there were certain blank areas in terms of my knowledge of music history
and some Afro-Cuban rhythms, but it didn't take long for me to gain much knowledge and start
arranging Cuban dance tunes, as documented on Cubanísimo's first recording ("Clásicos al
Estilo de los 50"). The band has been active since then, conducting all kinds of concerts and
tours…Due to the increasing international popularity of timba, combined with the incorporation of
some younger musicians into our band, the band's sonority has been transformed, as illustrated
on our second recording ("Marketing").
LT: The CD "Marketing" features various high-caliber guests, such as Sixto "El Indio"
Llorente, Juilio Padrón, Giraldo Piloto, and Orlando "Cubajazz" Sánchez.
RÁ: Recording the album "Marketing" was a unique and unforgettable experience. To reinforce
various originals that I had already prepared, I traveled to Havana in January 2011, and met with
Giraldo Piloto, who contributed three of his originals. My friend Osmany Collado provided an
additional composition, and I was able to make arrangements for the appearance in my recording
of certain guests that I greatly respect and admire: El Indio is my favorite Cuban music singer,
and Orlando (Sánchez) and Julio (Padrón) are two of my Cuban musical idols…. Cubanísimo's
new recording has been produced with much love and attention, carefully considering every
14 of 49
4/30/2012 8:43 PM
detail with the intention of offering a sincere and festive musical message, propelled by positive
energy.
*"Fasten": Colloquial term utilized among Cuban musicians to refer to any overseas trip or
tour. It is derived from the phrase "fasten seatbelts."
Afro-Latino Festival at MOLAA
Text and Photos ©by Ricky Richardson
It was a cold, festive day at the Museum of Latin American Art (MOLAA) in Long Beach,
California on Sunday, February 19, 2012. Hundreds of families and kids were in attendance for a
cultural celebration sponsored by Target: The Afro-Latino Festival, featuring acts such as
Matalache, Son Aborigen, Julie Simon's Tropicaleiza show, and Pachamama Estela.
Arts and crafts booths were set up around the perimeter of the Sculpture Garden. The public was
invited to make carnaval masks and African instruments.
15 of 49
4/30/2012 8:43 PM
Kicking off the live performances, Matalache combined traditional Afro-Peruvian percussion
instruments (cajón, quijada, etc) with festejo, toromata, alcatraz, and other Afro-Peruvian styles.
16 of 49
4/30/2012 8:43 PM
Son Aborigen interpreted renowned Cuban sones that blended Latin jazz elements and Antillean
percussion. The group performed "Marieta," "Jaleo," "Al vaivén de mi carreta" and "Nengón"
during its entertaining set. The popular band is comprised of Lorenzo Vázquez (bass), Lázaro
Arvizu (guitar), Rosa Le Rodriguez (vocals and maracas), Salvador Vázquez (tres) and Alfredo
Cruz (percussion).
Julie Simon's Tropicaleiza Show displayed the pulsating power and passion of Afro-samba
dance forms from various regions of Brazil.

Pachamama Estela rounded out the afternoon groove with its contagious rhythmic collage of

Latin Beat Magazine's Radio Host Listing
By Nelson Rodríguez
Today more than ever the future of the music that is constantly ignored by commercial radio is
in the hands of independent and public radio DJs and radio hosts who defend and see the true
value of all artists worldwide. Many of these radio hosts…some who have been on radio for
well over 20 years…and the newer defenders of salsa and Latin jazz are the life line that give
these recordings the exposure that is required. We have become a multi-tasking society of
radio hosts who also promote events, DJ at clubs, book artists/events, etc. While the average
show is only one to three hours, when you add it all up it is a powerful media for artists looking
to introduce themselves and expose their talent.
The following list contains some of the most innovative and best radio hosts in the world that
live and breathe music solely for the love of the music and some of these very same hosts are
pioneers in their respective areas. We will keep this list up till the end of the year and continue
to add to it as the information reaches Latin Beat Magazine.

Club Latino
Salsa-Music for 7 1/2 years on a local radio station in Munich, called RADIO LORA (Local
Radio) FM 92.4 once a month on the second Thursday from 22.15 to midnight.
The music is mostly salsa / Latin jazz but also Merengue/Bachata/Cumbia and sometimes
Folklore of Latin American Countries. Before I did 12 years on Radio "Jazzwelle Plus" in Munich
weekly presenting Salsa and Latin jazz. I'm DJ-ing Salsa in Munich regularly in clubs since about
1972 and I started DJ-ing in the late 1960s in Soldiers Club of the US Army for Puerto Rican and
Mexican Soldiers.

En cuanto a mi, nací en Caracas/Venezuela - 1949 - Estudié en la Escuela Superior de Música
José Angel Lamas - Aparte de la teoría y solfeo, también estudié piano complementario, sin

Initially, the founder and host, "The Voice of Latin Jazz" Luis (Sweet Lou) Hidalgo, was interested
in buying advertising time on a local radio station in the Richmond area for his family owned and
operated company, and was asked to host a show by the owner. With no radio experience
"under his belt,", but a substantial knowledge of Latin music, Mr Hidalgo decided to take on this
new venture, and so The Latin Jazz Show was born and aired for the first time on April 6, 2005
on WCLM 1450 AM in the City of Richmond, Virginia. The show was an instant hit, and because
of the limited radio broadcasts featuring Latin music in the Richmond/Tri-Cities area, continues
to be a hit to this day. The staff of The Latin Jazz Show now consists of Host: Luis "Sweet Lou"
Hidalgo, Co-Host: Miguelito "El Guiro" Lebron, Producers: Jimmy Castro and Willie "Don Pepin
de La Salsa" Rodriguez, and Engineer: David Aponte, Sr.

ESSENCE & RHYTHM - Traditional Jazz, Afro-Cuban Jazz and Latin (Bilingual English/Spanish)
The Program Essence& Rhythm ("E&R") is a unique music program specializing in Latin
American music and Afro Cuban Jazz broadcast. E&R educates a broad and diverse audience,
thus helping to bridge ethnic and cultural divides. Essence & Rhythm was incepted on January 4,
1992 as a center to promote, explore and develop Latin American arts and culture by examining
the folkloric traditions and modern tendencies of the music of Latin America and the Caribbean.
Nelson graduated from the "Center for the Media Arts" in radio and television production in 1990.
During that year, he started to work on the radio as co-host of the show "Jazz Plus" Sundays
from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm on W HCR 90.3 FM. This responsibility prompted him to start
researching about the fusion of Jazz and Afro-Cuban music called today Latin-Jazz.
In January of 1992, he started his own Latin Jazz format show "Essence and Rhythm" as
producer and host, which is still on the air at 90.3 fm WHCR Harlem Community Radio, every
Saturday from 11am - 3pm. Also works as a substitute host at WBAI 99.3 FM Pacifica Radio

Her long-running radio program, that just turned 29 years on the air at Fairleigh Dickinson

Featured on American Latino TV, a program hosted at the time by Daisy Fuentes, Solá has
served as an advisor to the Smithsonian Institution, and her articles have appeared in

column "A Bite from the Apple." Solá recently published a novel, The Getaway That Got Away

You should also know about our station's Latin Flavor Stream on Sunday evenings that consists
of three separate programs by three different hosts, each offering their own perspective on Latin
and Brazilian music.
Jim Byers
Latin Flavor: Classic Edition
6pm - 8pm
Programmed since 1996 from my private collection of 18,000+ of vintage Palladium-era
recordings, a typical playlist ranges from Machito, La Playa Sextet, Arty Jenkins and Marcelino
Guerra, to Perez Prado, Charlie Palmieri, Alfredito, Eddie Bonnemere and Hector Rivera. I also
embrace mambo's impact on broader pop culture of the 1950s and 1960s, also explored in my
blog: Mambo-phoniC. A former Latin-jazz critic for The Washington Post, in March, 2012, I begin
season three of my Latin-jazz concert/lecture series for the Smithsonian Institution, Metro
Mambo.
Nancy Alonso
Salsa Dura
8pm - 10pm
Since 1999, native New Yorker Nancy Alonso's program has picked up where the 'Classic
Edition' leaves off, focusing on Salsa Dura from the late 1960s through today. Her typical playlist
ranges from Eddie Palmieri, Willie Colon, Fania All-Stars, and Tito Puente.

Sounds of Brazil
10pm - midnight
Brazilian music - past and present, fusion and folkloric. With combined skills and expertise Zezeh, a highly respected samba school dancer and instructor; Tony a nationally known
television producer and filmmaker (his latest, 'Obama in Ghana') - make for an engrossing weekly
exploration of this rich heritage on a number of levels.
Originating on the commercial DC station WHUR in the mid-1980s, the Latin Flavor segment was
brought to public jazz station WPFW in the early 1990s by its creator - DC concert promoter and
broadcaster Hector Corporan.
