STRINGS OF AMERICA, (CHARANGO-CUATRO-GUITARRA) the meeting of three different and univocal sounds and colors representatives of the musical American soul... for the first time together on a stage where these tones and musics intercross representing the musical's essence of such vast continent.
a musicians trio that is the amount of the American identity
with the talent and experience of years playing.
The virtuosity and the puna in JAIME TORRES's charango,
musicalized poetry by "el cuatro de Venezuela", HERNAN GAMBOA
and LUCHO GONZALEZ guitar imprint that search the harmony and South American rhythms.
STRINGS OF AMERICA ARE :
HERNAN GAMBOA (VENEZUELA -plays CUATRO a small guitarlike instrument of Latin America, usually having four single nylon strings .Cuatro means four in spanish.) : He was born in San Tomé, in the State of Anzoategui, located in the eastern part of Venezuela and is the person who has introduced the Cuatro to the world, playing in more than 60 countries of America, Europe and Asia. He has given concerts in all of those countries, and appeared in numerous and important festivals, theaters and Universities. At fifteen Hernán had created a technique of playing the Cuatro called “Rasgapunteo”. This technique consists of a particular way to play the instrument through the melody, the harmony and the rhythm at the moment of performing a composition.
JAIME TORRES (ARGENTINA -plays CHARANGO a small South American guitar (Andean folk instrument) made from the shell of an armadillo or similar animal and having five sets of paired strings). Jaime Torres was born in the Northern city of San Miguel de Tucumán, Republica Argentina but the purest period in the artist’s life – his childhood-, he spent at Chimba Chica, in the colorful valley of Cochabamba, Bolivia. It is there that is spirit feeds on the telluric experiences which, in ensuing periods of his musical life, will crop up from the elves that dwell in his charango. Throughout his prolific career, the maestro Jaime Torres has been afforded quite a number of acknowledgements and awards on his work with his band & playing "Misa Criolla" At present, he is still giving concerts throughout Argentina and in the main European cities of Japan and also London, Buenos Aires and Singapore
LUCHO GONZALEZ (PERU -plays GUITAR-) Lucho Gonzalez is one of the most renowned guitar players around South American's music. His first profesional work was at the age 22 playing with Chabuca Granda. He was born in Peru. He worked with Los Hijos del Sol (The children of the sun), a collaborative experience formed by Peruvian musicians residing in foreign countries. Los Hijos del Sol represents a conglomerate all-star cast of Peruvian musicians reunited with the purpose of refreshing and promoting Peruvian music for the world.

BIENVENUE AUX TERRES ARC EN CIEL MALIENNES !
L'ENSEMBLE ARCHIMUSIC Invite les chanteuses Mama Draba et Aminata Kanté, les percussionnistes Issakha Sow et Bacary Touré Pour une série de 8 concerts du 3 au 13 septembre 2009 à Montreuil (93)
Quand un quatuor classique s'enflamme sur un rythme à 5 temps, porté par un quartet de jazz et des tambours de l'Afrique et des Antilles, notre sale histoire commune liée par les chaînes de l'esclavage s'écrase devant l'évidence que l'humanité respire et gronde dans l'altérité.
So I am been marinating on a album I did last year contemplating on how i should release the album truthfully I was going to press the album up but I decide to give this album as a free download. The Album Bitter Love Next Time is made up entirely of break up songs. I always want to make a theme album and I felt this was the best way to display my production. I hope you enjoy this album as it is perhaps my most personal album. I took the time to flip every track about 5-6 times. Its wintertime and if your lonely than this is your album for your bitter cold hearts, haha!

It seems like years since the last Moorfest happened and to be honest I think the weather was very much a factor in whether people enjoyed themselves or not. Some thrived in the mud whilst others wept until their dads could pick them up. Moorfest is still carving an identity for itself and in the three years that it has been established I think I can say that the one thing that most people love about it is the friendly atmosphere, and this gig is a good opportunity to meet up with friends that perhaps you haven't seen since the festival, to make new friends, enjoy quality music, get a flavour of Moorfest if you haven't already been and also to talk to the organisers in order to give your opinions on how to improve the festival. We'll also be projecting your favourite photos that you've taken from previous Moorfests to create a live mashup that will adorn the walls of the Brudenell so please send them to bandsformoorfest@yahoo.co.uk and make sure that everyone in the picture is cool for you to use them like this.
There'll be much more to boot like gorgeous organic food, t-shirt stall, films and raffles to win tickets to Moorfest 4 which we're working on right now and aim to make it the best yet.
We really appreciate your continued support in making Moorfest what it is and hope to see you all there.
Gracias por tus palabras son de Gran aliento para Nosotros
