On Monday we celebrated the Day of Andalucia, although personally, I always thought that was the best date December 4, remembering that day 77, when an entire people released to the streets demanding that he belonged, the autonomy of law and not by the back door and wanted to give. A disguised autonomy freedom that get blood cost. A coward fascist bush shot in Malaga Jose Manuel Caparros, while hoisted the white and green.
I have no deep-rooted nationalist sentiment, but I've always felt good world citizen, but it may seem contradictory, if I have a strong hold on my land and their customs. At home always safe air breathed an Andalusian, but not as much as nationalism, and if more and assertive, taking pride in what one is, its roots, under the banner of belief in the identity of your people, but to time, taught me to let me spray the culture of others, to enrich my identity, without losing sight of my roots, to be like my own land, a melting pot of cultures, where they spent Phoenicians, Romans, Carthaginians, Arabs .. .......... has to be proud of something as wonderful as the mixture of cultures.
At home, it was unheard rock. My parents listened to Rocio Jurado, Lole y Manuel, Perales .... I imagine that not too different from many of you. Also I am the older brother, so no one opened the road. But if he had tapes of Triana, as well as Alameda, CAI, ........... Iman but that sounded more were those of Triana.
Each generation has its music, and although it has no expiration date and can be enjoyed in any season, regardless of their date of birth, no one can deny that its message is not received the same way for a generation or another. I always put an example in my case, the album "Somewhere in progress" that launched the Red Baron 85, and I discovered con13 or 14 tacos. His lyrics spoke of youthful rebellion, of being marginalized by society for being a rock, build on the rock, perhaps a message that now remains in effect, but otherwise. No one is startled to see a guy with long hair and dressed in black, times are changing for the better. And something similar happens Triana. My father always explained what the Rock Andaluz Triana in general and in particular for those who lived through those tumultuous 70. As Triana meant particularly as they believed, to feel proud of their roots, their customs and always keep ahead, while, bask in the breeze that came from elsewhere, seduced by other ways and be able to all live together in such a way that was able to create a story. How Triana soundtrack to a people who wanted to be free I wanted to leave behind the image of fairs and tambourines, they want to go into the future through the front door and not by the back door, and wanted those obsessed with stagnant living in the past.
Triana was able to unite the rock that came from overseas and do live with the flamenco that ran through his veins. Join the poems of Jesus de la Rosa, a feeling capable of expressing our music and wrap it with the development and strength of rock. Triana is a group of flamenco, Triana is not a progressive rock band, go far beyond Triana, Triana is the expression of a people, and though the music must not know borders, flags or nationalities, its significance can not be for all the same.
could have chosen any record of Jesus de la Rosa, Eduardo Rodriguez and my countryman Tele Palacios, and perhaps in time be talking about each and every one, but today the body and soul they asked me, this gem released in 75 called "El Patio".
"El patio" was the first record of Triana, and was released in a very difficult time, it was not easy to get this kind of music, concert halls limited capacity and without much publicity, the album was passed from hand hand, in meetings not well seen by mainstream society in those days .......... make these recordings, an album of worship, not only for his compositions, also all around him.
Voice and Pen Jesus de la Rosa are the heart of Triana, this is something that will always be marked, had discovered the progressive rock, their long instrumental developments, their changes, and were fascinated by that music. And that is none other than this album, a mixture of progressive and symphonic rock that, along with the music of the street that is flamenco.
An album full of classic, which opens with the hymnic "Open Door" and his long introduction, with a beautiful letter of Jesus de la Rosa
"I wanted to go to heaven to see / and down to hell understand / what reason is / that keeps us from seeing / into you / within me. " The communion
Eduardo's guitar and keyboards Jesus de la Rosa
are the protagonists of "Bright
tomorrow." Tele no slouch with the battery, the mattress being essential to the sound of the band, giving strength and rhythm.
"Remember the Night" has more accent "Andalusia", a theme that other Triana whose melody is a true handbook for all those new flamenco pop singers dominating the charts. Another of my favorites Triana is "It's a place", a theme that is imprinted with a tremendous feeling, musically rich, and another precious point of Jesus de la Rosa.
"Dialogue" is an issue that greatly offers the best way to see the music Triana flamenco guitars at the beginning of the item, the keyboard input apergios Eduardo wrapping and cutting rocker's playing the Tele, you've to add a few drops of jazz, and that's "Dialogue."
One of the themes of the band best known for his strength and feeling, without a doubt is "In the lake," with reference topic "Open the door" to "El Patio". "The lake" is a perfect subject, not only musically, but also because they have the necessary business to become an anthem, and of course a point worthy of mention.
"I can not deny that hurt me, / my heart ran away from you. / Has to be like the morning / day I met you." "I remember that night / white bird flew away / into our hearts and looking for a shooting star." To leave this court, what better way than with the familiar "Everything is color"
, issue that has been played by lots of people, including Lole y Manuel
, and air spring bouncing with this record.
A historical record, part of the musical history of this country, and that should be in letters of gold. Along with "Children of the burden" of 1977 and "Shadow and Light" in 1979, formed a trilogy simply brilliant. I guess most habreis heard of Triana and the vast majority will know his music. For those who decides to discover, warn that Triana's music is not easy, is a nuanced music, instrumental developments, changes and feeling, but once you get caught, you will not want to escape the yard and never sleep with them in the lake.
