Pedro Linares , Music Composer, Producer and Director of the Orchestra Negramenta. Born in Barlovento (Venezuela), his lyrics are social and cultural high motivated as we are told in the following snippet. "I do not complicate, in life, everyday, I am a" songwriter "Honest, I write from my surroundings, my experiences, I have the gift to write about social issues and love. I'm grateful to God, in order that has given my life, I'm very close with my wife of Christian, but I confess that I have something to Nanjing to thank especially my dead father why write about the things missing ... they fixed me the writing. To write of love I do not like the contrived, with the forgiveness of the erotic, the smarmy, I like phrases credible than most, the daily use to woo a lady, not to Benedetti, what I am music lover
Lorca ...
"born" the Negramenta? Pedrito Linares: This idea came after record a song for my daughter ballad "Love of film as a birthday present at that time Willians Castillo, Eliezer Marrero reminded the Magistral Orchestra led by my father Peter Saba Linares, who performed a production called "Things Black ", which is lost in Colombia, combined with the multiple talents commented Barloventenos to augment the musical world with his performances, arrangements, compositions, etc.. And why not make a product "made in" Windward, with native talent there arose names: José Luis Frias, 16 years old student drummer Luisito Quintero, Alexis Sanchez, and others. The singers' comes to mind later, realizing the amount of Barlovento in salsa singers: Paquito Baron, Carlos Palacios, Isturiz Marcial, El Conde, Charlie Negron, Matt Hernandez, missing: Calaven, Leo Pacheco, Alex Hernandez
Why The Negramenta? Pedrito Linares: Without wishing to be with my friends roll Modesto Ruiz, Geronimo Sanchez and Chucho Garcia, Afro-Venezuelan movement leaders, who use the term Afro-descendants as established at a meeting of the Diaspora, is to highlight Negramenta the adjective of our people and take that connotation "negramenta" often used disparagingly to refer to our people, backgrounds, clothes, our music, etc. The term is applied not only to identify a color, also to despise a humble origin, coming from the hill, the neighborhood, by ideals of equality, in order for all those who once were excluded ... and very proud to come from there, to keep these struggles, we are proud to be that "negramenta." I tell you that as a child I listened to a lot of salsa and my aunt told me you if you like those things black and he replied "gua gua gua and us."
How does the selection of topics, the arrangements? Pedrito Linares: We wanted to make an original, do versions because I think the music of the Caribbean requires that contribution is good versions of entire productions. I do compositions very young, so I had many letters and ideas for using them about arrangements Willians Castillo who better than whom in a while I give them points for the ride with the orchestras with which he works: Race America Keynote, Great Sound, Ire Combo, Black Theatre, Sonora Habanera, etc. and with whom the idea of \u200b\u200bmaking Negramenta in honor of our origins, my father died and enhance the musicians from the Barlovento region. On the CD, seven songs of mine, one of my daughter and two versions, all under my concept and masterfully arranged by Professor Williams Castillo.
new projects are there? Pedrito Linares: I'm working on the preproduction of the new La Negramenta, which is called "3 in 1" "We Are The Law", this is motivated in the wake of the orchestra, lyrics, arrangements and performance and that our proposals will set the standard within the new music of the Caribbean with the mixture of African rhythms, bossa, jazz always in the 2 x 4 ... Thanks for the support my friend!
