Bettye LaVette
Bettye Lavette (U.S., 1946) is one of the great voices of contemporary black music.
His soul is intuitive and physical, of the emotions that flow to the rhythm suggestive of a ballad.
And, indeed, is a business work.
Perhaps one could say that, after more than 30 year career, he now lives his particular spring in recent years when it is recognized and admired by the public and colleagues.
Born in Detroit, home of Motown, Lavette spent almost on tiptoe for many years soul music even though he had less than 20 years when he had his first hit and was signed to the mighty Atlantic Records.
Even later in the eighties and at the height of the disco music, Motown was set on it to fill the gap left by Diana Ross.
But this was not his cup of tea, the British would say.
Lavette did not seem to find their own path to the XXI century.
As she has been recognized in numerous interviews since the publication of the great A Woman Like Me in 2003, his career is as if reborn.
Perseverance, sweat scenarios that never got out and, of course, talent.
Talent as he has shown in his later works as recorded with the Drive By Truckers, The Scene of Crime.
His music comes from the gut, is expressed in the body, voice and spirit runs in unison.
It's a very physical soul, authentic, without cellophane.
It is the soul that reminds you you're alive.
Lavette better meet the premise of the soul: listen always leaves you with the physical and spiritual sense of wanting more.
Cartagena comes to present his latest Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook, with songs from the album is a journey of 13 songs by the Beatles compositions, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd.
COWBOY JUNKIES
Over two decades have passed since The Trinity Sessions, the wonderful second album of Canadian band, recorded in a church during a single night with a single microphone.
Cowboy Junkies exude exquisite sensibility and a taste for slow and quiet songs, folk base lined with echoes of the Velvet Underground, and high doses of poetry in the lyrics.
That sluggish folk-rock, and country-tinged voice of narcotic, survives as a sign of Cowboy Junkies, although the group evolves Timmins siblings.
In a year and half have been proposed to publish four papers.
They've been two.
Renmin Park is the result of the stay in China by Michael Timmins, guitarist and main songwriter.
His three months there, waiting for adoption, Renmin Park populate field recordings, a couple of versions and even a cameo by Zuoxiao Zuzhou, the glory of Chinese rock.
And all in perfect amalgam, with Margo Timmins, as always, fascinating to her throat.
In February 2011 released the album Demons, where Cowboy Junkies continue their ambitious plan to release four albums in 18 months under the collective title of The Nomad Series.
Demons is an album of covers of the late Vic Chesnutt.
à ntegrating and unique.
Live simply amazing.
