Dear friends of latin American music and culture!
The actual newsmail completely focuses on new CD-releases. Due to the
numerous new releases in the past few days, I will be brief and begin right
now:
1.1 LOS VAN VAN - Chapeando
VAN VAN, Juan Formells newest, is without a doubt the irrefutable
highlight of this mail. Although the CD-cover conveys an impression of
modernization and the set out to new frontiers, the music remains what it
always has been: finest Cuban Salsa. Due to the copy protection we are not
able to put audio-tracks to your disposal.
But as mentioned above, everybody who knows LOS VAN VAN can grab
this one without hesitating, and all the others should enter the VAN VAN
galaxy with this one.

1.2 ORISHAS - El Kilo
The Orishas’ kilo has its own special weight. This third release after two
very successful ones always is a special touchstone. But still the Cubans
living in exile take this hurdle with courage, not settling for current
HIT-orientation (i.e. english lyrics for the US-market, a collaboration
with Ibrahim Ferrer or other things that some artist need).
ORISHAS - El Kilo
1.3 BRAZILIAN GIRLS
The name of this New York-based quartet is confusing inasmuch as this
group is composed by three men and a female singer; neither the vocalist
Sabina Sciubba (german/italian descent) nor any other band member is
from Brazil. Still, this play upon words does not reduces the positive
impression of the wonderful music combining numerous different styles.
Youˇll get Latin-Jazz, Chanson, Tango-Electronic – sung in english,
french, spanish and german.

1.4 Putumayo presents ACOUSTIC BRAZIL
The Putumayo-label fascinates with ist consistent concept of CD-covers
and ist harmonious combination of various worldmusic-sampler. The
present compilation focuses the brazilian singer-songwriters exclusively in
accoustic way. Next to Gal Costa, Chico Buarque and Caetano Veloso this
release also features rather unknown artists like Anna De Hollanda
(Chico’s sister), Lucas Santtana and Glaucia Nasser. But all are united by
their love for accoustic-Samba, Bossa Nova etc.

And here comes Tango!
2.1 SILVANA DELUIGI - YO!
The title already gives a hint, Silvana Deluigi shows a good deal of
self-consciousness: “Thatˇs what I am”! Supported by Pablo Ziegler,
Gustavo Beytelsmann and the producer Kip Hanrahan she managed a
muscial review, wonderfully proving her love to Buenos Aires.

2.2 RICHARD GALLIANO (NY-Trio) - Ruby, My Dear
Yes, at last! Richard Galliano does what he does best.
TANGO-JAZZ with a small instrumentation. A performance on New
Years’s Eve 2004 in Orvieto (Italy) together with Larry Grenadier
(bass) and Clarence Penn (drums) was recorded, showing how New Year’s
Eve can be celebrated with musical performance and pleasure playing
music:

2.3 CUARTETO CEDRON - Piove En San Telmo (Canciones Lunfardas)
On this CD Juan Cedron and his quartet focus the dialect “LUNFARDO”.
It is a dialect formed by languages like italian, spanish, polish, french and
portuguese spoken exclusively in some districts of Buenos Aires since the
19th century. This time the music centres mainly on guitar sound and
creates a beautiful connection between classic tango and the milonga.
