Afro Cuban Musician Talks About African Influence In His Music by Mambofiend: 12:02am On Aug 11, 2014 |
Arsenio Rodríguez (born Ignacio Arsenio Travieso Scull; 31 August 1911 – 31 December 1970)[1][2] was a Cuban musician, composer and bandleader. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyJh2Uzgfo8 Here is a translation of what he said. I got this from another forum. The first question is about remembering the time before LPs and Arsenio mentions 2 records that he recorded as 78s. Then in interviewer starts asking about some of the people involved in the second CD and they start talking about the singer Miguel, who Arsenio said used to be a danzonette singer but when he heard the voice he said to himself "this is the voice i need to sing my afro-Cuban music" so he brought him into the band Casino de la Playa and taught him how he should sing the afro-cuban style. |
