Nowruz

Description:

Sebastian Caldas was in 2014 awarded a scholarship to collaborate with percussionists from Candombe tradition in Montevideo. This all resulted in a series of of Concerts in cooperation with the percussionist Ismail BERTOLA with candombes, tango and popular pieces. They recorded a part of the repertoire of the DPM studios in Uruguay. The rest of the recordings on this CD are studio recordings of solo pieces with the tango as a common denominator. It's about Piazzolla's "Estaciones Porteñas", "Sur" and "La última Curda" of legend Anibal Troilo and "Dia que me Quieras" among others. The disc also has an original piece written by Sebastian himself called Nowruz a Gothenburg, which he wrote for the Nowruz festival in Gothenburg in 2013. Nouruz is Persian for 'New Day' and the Iranian-speaking peoples of New Year's Day falls on the vernal equinox. The record thus have an exciting multicultural extension.
