-Titulo Original : Audio CD - SOBREVOLANDO - CULTURA PROFETICA-Fabricante : La Mafafa INC.-Descripcion Original: The iconic Latin American music band Cultura Profetica presents its sixth studio album Sobrevolando, an ode to the social, political and cultural awakening. Sobrevolando (flying over), in a symbolic way, is the action that Cultura Profectica has taken to continue forward. What happened in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, the superfluous state of the musical scene, the heartless direction of international geo-politics and the drastic changes that the band has gone through, are some of the challenges they have transcended. It has been ten years since Cultura Profectica fans had the joy of buying an album from the group but his fan base has been increasing over the years. The admiration for their music reached the European continent with thousands of expecting fans, craving their honesty and unique sound, skillfully delivered by Willie Rodriguez (voice and bass), Eliut Gonzalez (guitar), Omar Silva (guitar and bass) and Juanqui Sulsona (keyboard). Sobrevolando gathers the experiiences lived in the past decade this time accompanied by new drummer Ernesto Bebo Rodriguez Dumont, who also serves as producer. The well-known wealth of styles already experienced throughout their discography is transformed into something different. The innovative elements of their compositions and musical arrangements are beyond standard. As if that were not enough, bordering on eccentricity, the album distances itself from digital sound by being completely mixed with analog technology by the multi-Grammy-winning engineer Ben Kane, who also serves as a co-producer. The group presents an album with 15 tracks under their own independent record label La Mafafa Discos. It was recorded over five years in several studios in San Juan, Puerto Rico with engineers Erron Brown, Julio Gonzalez, Carlos Velazquez and Harold W. Sanders, and was mixed and mastered in Electric Garden...

-Titulo Original : Audio CD - LA DULZURA [THE SWEETNESS] - CULTURA PROFETICA-Fabricante : La Mafafa INC.-Descripcion Original: Altoist Donald Harrison Jr. has gathered a host of native-born talent to explore that elusive wonder called the New Orleans sound. Trumpeters Nicholas Payton, Marlon Jordan, and Jamil Sharif, trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis, and clarinetist Louis Ford join Harrison in a jubilant romp through a wide variety of material. With Adonis Roses drums and Elton Herons bass providing the dancing second-line rhythm (think immediately of Ed Blackwell) that propels everything forward with a beat and a bounce, the horn players exult on a number of originals, as well as Sonny Rollinss Oleo and Thelonious Monks Bye-Ya. Historically, Conga Square was the place where slaves were permitted to play drums and keep their African heritage alive. So it is that the New Orleans sound and its deep rhythmic structures count Conga Square as an important focal point. So it is also that Donald Harrison and his New Orleans crew bristle with a joyous, rhythmic force. --Wally Shoup After touring with Art Blakeys Jazz Messengers, then with percussionist Roy Haynes, saxophonist Donald Harrison Jr. fronted his own band with Terence Blanchard. During those heady years, Donald never lost sight of his New Orleans heritage and on this session (recorded in 2000), he wanted to bring the sounds of the tradition up to date with modern twists on the old rhythms and inventive arrangements of familiar jazz tunes. This CD puts the back beat into tunes by Freddie Hubbard and Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Roy Haynes & Steve Swallow and Donald Harrison himself and presents the rare opportunity to hear three of New Orleans great contemporary trumpeters head-to-head-to-head, (Nicholas Payton, Marlon Jordan and Jamil Sharif)...
