Highlights of the show:

This is an album from a favourite artist of Latin Soul. Here you may read a review for a song that was a remarkable one in the show tonight.


Gato Barbieri's “Bolivia and Under Fire” double feature album is a reedition of his two different albums released in 1973 and 1971 respectively. These albums belong to the Argetinian's career first stage. His life-long production extends up to 2002, yet Mr. Barbieri can still be seen at few and scarce performances in the latest times. “Bolivia and Under Fire” are albums where all the fierceless of Barbieri's tenor sax is remarkable. It was the time of innovation with the so-called free jazz, for which Mr. Barbieri fell in his early albums. The evolution of the sax is absolutely atonishing, creating an ethereal atmosphere of sound layers among which the sound of sax is leading the tone from harsh to soft to mellow to overwhelming. Mr. Barbieri is credited for being a pioneer of the fussion and what has been called “world music”. Especially in the album “Bolivia”, traditional sounds from the Andean musical folklore is included, even the theme “Bolivia” resembles the sound and structure of indigenous tunes. That is going to be constant in Gato Barbieri's early years. As a result, an incredible mix of avant-garde jazz with traditional indigenous tunes from South America. Many have fallen for Barbieri's distinctive sounds. The theme “María Domingas” is remarkable among the ones in “Under Fire” letting you get carried away with the pop rhythm that drums add to it. Summarizing, a truly discover if you want to get an awesome approach to the way Gato Barbieri understand jazz. You may be familiar with his later years, where he is more dedicated to smooth jazz, which some find irreconcilable with his experimentation years, as the album tonight presented in Latin Soul does. Stay tuned, since this album is going to be explored more often in Latin Soul, in your station 88.9 KETR at ketr.org.
