Cuba en la Fiesta del Disco

Cubadisco 2006

De todo cuanto se produce en materia de la discografía se dice, se escribe y se escucha por esta página: http://www.cubadisco.icm.cu/ y más . . .

Muchas veces criticamos o no estamos de acuerdo a la hora de recibir el fallo de un jurado sobre una determinada obra, pero con este disco del maestro Chucho Valdés creo que todos estamos rotundamente felices. Este fonograma se alzó también (junto a Goza Pepillo, de Interactivo) con el Gran Premio Cubadisco 2006, y a todas luces se veía venir.

. . . . . . . . . Upf, en Inglés:

Antecedents of the Cubadisco Fair: Around 1964 the existent Record Labels in Cuba, came together under the name of Recordings and Musical Editions Enterprise (EGREM), which maintained during almost 25 years the domination over the phonographic production of the country and the organization of 16 editions of the EGREM Prize, which was received by remarkable Cuban musicians approaching all musical genres. At the end of the 80s, other Recording Labels were formed, such as ARTEX S.A, RTV Comercial and the studios P.M Record of Pablo Milanés and Ojalá of Silvio Rodríguez, also three foreing Record Labels were stablished: Art Color, Caribe Productions and Magic Music.

The Cuban musical industry actions had grown and the creation of a space for the interchange among the musical industry producers and executives was an urgent necessity, it was also indispensable the organization of a more universal event capable to establish a balance among the whole, national and international Records Labels, arriving to 6 around 1997.

So, in 1997, the first Internacional Fair Cubadisco saw the light with the Award, conferred also for the first time, to the companies approaching different competitive categories. The Phonograph of Ebony was placed as the maximum symbol of the event.

Since 1998 to the current times, more than 25 categories running from all musical genres have been summoned.

The awarding committee is integrated by highlight professionals such as musicians, musicologists, critics, directors of musical radio and television programs, journalists and directors of specialty magazines.

The selection work is made with great rigor. In the first stage , the awarding Committee listen to each record to select those with possibilities to be nominated by categories.

These will be in charge of the selection of the awards in each category and with this selection, the awarding committee confers the Great Award and if it is necessary, Special Prizes to persons and institutions having a remarkable labor within the musical world and especially related to the phonogram.

De Cuba y otros demonios

Una cortica pero con salsa, ejem, con son a lo cubano. Por ejemplo un sitio de un pintor pinareño, otro de un visitante que quedó enamorado de la Isla y por último algo de todo un poco, de latinos y de latas buenas y malas, pero en suma siempre, búscalos también, algo fuertecito . . . Ya, ahora si termino porque este no lo quiero dejar fuera: http://trip-star.blogspot.com/ Chao

Con derechos humanos

Hoy me pone muy contenta de haber ganado como cubana un nuevo derecho. El de amar, ser feliz, compartir con todos ustedes a mi Cuba . Primero felicitar a las madres de los 5 héroes prisioneros del imperio. Hoy estuvo una señora de la tercera edad por la emisora y habían recibido una postal de Tony, uno de ellos, desde la cárcel. bueno en el escrito anterior están los datos. A una madre, que como muchas, dejaron hijos en la Isla para ir a cumplir misiones internacionalistas . Estaré monotemática en las páginas o es que la lluvia de besos y felicitaciones de madre me hacen rendirme al tema. Sean felices porque lo quiero de veras.
