Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The Cuban-born percussionist Roberto Juan Rodriguez plays with such varied acts as Marc Ribot's Los Cubanos Postizos, Julio Iglesias, Miami Sound Machine, Joe Jackson, and John Zorn. But it's his background in Cuba's small Jewish community that is the inspiration for El Danzon de Moises, an outstanding amalgamation of traditional Cuban and Jewish music. Leading a dozen of New York's downtown finest (including clarinetist David Krakauer, percussionist Susie Ibarra, and bassist Brad Jones), Rodriguez has composed and arranged an album that adeptly captures the wailing clarinet and Eastern European rhythms of klezmer, and seamlessly fuses them with the shimmying sway of Cuban son and the percolating fire of Afro-Cuban percussion. Ostensibly, this seemingly incongruous fusion would play best (or perhaps get the most resistance) in Miami Beach or New York City because of their large Latin and Jewish populations, but the beautiful and reverential songs will appeal to anyone open to musical possibilities. This album realizes the unique vision of a talented musician. --Tad Hendrickson Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - " EL DANZON DE MOISES" by Roberto Juan Rodriguez & His Ensemble"EL DANZON DE MOISES" is a beautiful instrumental Cuban-Klezmer fusion music, unique and I think unprecedented, the fusion of Cuba's traditional "Danzon" and "Klezmer" musics. As a Cuban born, Cuban music fan, I was delighted to discover it and I want to congratulate Roberto Juan Rodriguez & His Ensemble for such a wonderful creation. I highly recommend this album with an album title song "El Danzon de Moises" or "Moses Danzon" worthy of its contents and creation. A must have for both Cuban and Klezmer music fans, I guarantee they will be delighted when they listen to this outstanding fusion and this unique creation. This album is definitely the musical voice of Cuba's longtime small but not forgotten jewish community "our polacos" as we ... Read More: Rating: - Wow, fabulous!!I love Cuban music. I love Klezmer music. Give Cuban music to expert Klezmer players, and you have superb music. You have this album. Sad, touching, inspiring, moving, beautiful, joyful, alive, passionate, most of all fun. What music should be about. Rating: - Where jazz and world music intersectWe've got Jewish & Western (Tim Sparks), hillbilly Jewish (Margot Leverett and the Klezmer Mountain Boys), Jewish soul-jazz (Steven Bernstein), Jewish soul-blues (Paul Shapiro and Midnight Minyan), Jewish avant-garde (John Zorn, Wayne Horvitz, Eric Friedlander), Jewish gonzo jazz (Jamie Saft)--Why not Jewish Afro-Cuban, danzon, and son? Indeed, why not? There's a small but vocal Cuban Jewish community, with their own Jewish traditions and sensibilities, who've come in contact with and slyly incorporated into their own musical understandings the expansive music of the African diaspora, as experienced in Middle-Passage Cuba. As far as I know, El Danzon de Moises represents the first-ever disc seeking to capture ... Read More: |
