About the album

Gerardo Rosales: alle percussie | Astrid “La Holandesa”: vocal, coro | Carlos “El Niche”: vocal, coro | Randal Corsen: akoestische piano | Randy Winterdal: bas | Michael Simon: trompet, flugel | Eduardo Blanco: trompet | José Piriz Perez: tenor- en sopraansax, dwarsfluit | Jaco Abel: gitaar

De Venezolaanse wals wordt gerepresenteerd door “El Diablo Suelto”, gecomponeerd door Eraclio Fernández in 1878 en “Tema de Amor”, compositie van Aldemaro Romero. Het ritme joropo is aanwezig in de vorm van “Quitapesares” van Carlos Bonet en “Joropo Loco”, laatstgenoemde door mij gecomponeerd in een muzikale crisissituatie. “Rancho Central” is een parranda, gecomponeerd en gearrangeerd door Alberto Naranjo, een schepper van intelligente smaken. ”Moliendo Café” van Hugo Blanco en “La Grey Zuliana” van Ricardo Aguirre zijn twee symbolische thema’s van Venezuela, in staat om je kippenvel te bezorgen. “Pa’ los Guaco Guarapo” heb ik gecomponeerd als eerbetoon aan de scheppers van dit mooie dansbare ritme (bueno pa’ mover el esqueleto). ”Poco a Poco” is een representatief thema van de Onda Nueva, gecomponeerd door Aldemaro Romero. “Negra mala” is een merengue caraqueño, origineel van Manuel Rivas, speciaal om het ‘Caracas van de rode daken’ te herinneren. “Canción para Belén Rondón” (voor mijn geliefde oma) is gecomponeerd door Randal Corsen. Al deze nummmers zijn gemixed met de rijke harmonie die de jazz, de klassieke muziek en de smaak van Latijns-Amerika bieden.
