Afro-Peruvian New Trends Orchestra Cosmic Synchronicities

 

This instrumental music project of multi-project artist Corina Bartra is multi-rhythmic and multidimensional, filled with swing and danceable South and Latin American Rhythms. Corina Bartra originals, a majestic, Afro-Peruvian Festejo modulating to a swing groove, “Osiris,” the exuberant, Amazon-inspired “Ecstasy Green”, the moving Landó Ballas “Purple Heart,” “Bailan Todas las Razas”, and “Ebano Sky,” are full of beautiful melodies, exciting and colorful rhythms. “Baila y Goza” modulates between a Cuban Guajira and an Afro-Peruvian Festejo. “Vinilo y Café”, “Latino Blues” is Cuban-inspired and filled with catchy, danceable melodies and hooks.” Far Away,” a Brazilian inspired tune intermingling with swing rhythm, is a breath of fresh air intertwined with surprising moments. There are also three tracks that feature the Marinera style of Peruvian Creole music. An original, "Marinera Jazz," and the traditional, “Palmero Siguayayay," and a medley from Chabuca Granda, “Tun tun tun”- La Herida Oscura, filled with challenging grooves and rhythms to play, which all these top-notch players in this recording have far met.
