Hello friends! It’s me again. Today, i will talk about my favorite
musician. He is Arturo Sandoval. He is a trumpets musician from Cuba who was born
in November 6th, 1949.
Arturo Sandoval is highlighted by a
flashy talent in his instrument, the treble trumpet. In the music, specifically
in afro jazz, or maybe Latin jazz, the treble trumpet is very important, because gives
it a special sound that automatically identifies the type of music,
or even the musician in particular. Arturo Sandoval, helped found the group Irakere with
saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera
and pianist Chucho Valdes, and became the
most important jazz ensemble from Cuba. They had
a great success. Then, Arturo Sandoval met to Dizzie
Gillespie.
Gillespie wanted to know what kind of music they did in Cuba, including his
guaguancó. Sandoval offered, and then a great friendship was born between them.
My favorite song
from Arturo Sandoval is “A mis abuelos”, because when I play trumpet, I imagine being Arturo Sandoval,
and let the feelings of the music run through
my veins.
