Clásicos Latinos

Afro Gerogian Moods is an album that reclaims these principles and makes them its own to challenge the conventional parameters of music and cultural interaction. With a solid base loaded with rhythmic cells linked to the Afro-Cuban liturgical tradition, a lyrical discourse is developed with surprising results. For example, due to the ceremonious effect of the ternary subdivisions on the themes composed by Chabuka Amiranashvili, impregnated with the Persian mysticism suggested in the vocal inflections of the choirs, or by the fortunate chain of resolutions of the melodic motifs that usually appear in passages characterized by their harmonic tensions, as is the case of “Monkiano”, composed by Raúl Gutiérrez. It is also worth highlighting the stupendous role of Raúl Cabrera, one of the main arrangers, together with Quillo García Caturla and José Antonio Quintana, who retakes a search for textures and colors that sounds familiar to us because of the references to María Schneider and Thad Jones, but with a more contemporary orchestration, linked to the development of Afro-Cuban music.
